    Introduction

    Top Science 6 Teacher’s Resource Book provides a range of materials

    designed to complement the Student’s Book and the Teacher’s Book.

    These materials contribute to the flexible nature of Top Science: studentsin the same class can be given worksheets at different levels, or weaker

    students can complete the tasks with stronger peers. Teachers with more

    contact hours can make use of these photocopiable materials

    as and when they need them.

    There are three categories of worksheets: reinforcement, extension,

    and assessment. Use them for revision purposes, for extension

    practice, as progress tests, assessment, or for homework.

    The worksheets can be photocopied and filed in a folder.

    Reinforcement and extension worksheets

    There are forty-eight reinforcement worksheets. These materials

    constitute a flexible tool: they can be worked on after the relevant

    section in the Student’s Book, before the Activities sections, or as extra

    preparation for the unit assessment. The answer keys are provided.

    There are fifteen double-page extension worksheets, one for each unit

    of the Student’s Book. These worksheets can be used for fast

    finishers or to extend class work. Depending on their level, students

    can complete the worksheets with or without consulting their Student’s

    Book or other sources. The answer keys are provided.

    Read the text and answer the questions.

    Mayan society

      Where did the Mayans live? 

    Where did the rulers live?

    How was their society organised?

    What kind of work did most people do?

    What did they build?

    Who was their most important god?

    What was their favourite sport?

    1

    The Mayan civilisation appeared about two

    thousand years ago in the Yucatan peninsula

    and the lowlands of present-day Mexico,

    Guatemala and Honduras.

    The Mayans lived in city-states governed

    by a supreme chief who lived in Mayapan.

    Their society was organised into four groups:

    nobles, priests, peasants and slaves.

    Most of the people worked in the fields.

    They grew corn, cacao, beans, tomatoes,

    pumpkins, spices and other plants.

    The Mayans had an amazing knowledge

    of astronomy and mathematics. For example,

    they knew about the concept of zero, and used

    two calendars: lunar and solar. They were

    also great architects and sculptors.

    Their pyramid temples, altars and stelae

    (sculpted monuments) are especially famous.

    The Mayans believed in many gods, but

    the most important was the god of rain, as crop fertility depended on it.

    Their favourite game was played with a ball. The object of the game was to pass the ball

    through a stone hoop. There were two teams and the players were not allowed to touch

    the ball with their hands.

    REINFORCEMENNutrition and health1

    Remember  Food contains the nutrients that our bodies need.

    The main nutrients are:

      – carbohydrates, which supply energy;

      – fats or lipids, which also supply energy;

      – proteins, which are necessary to grow and repair our bodies;

      – vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for a healthy body.

      The process of obtaining nutrients from food is called digestion.

    Write one sentence with each group of words.

      digestion – nutrients

    energy – fats

    REINFORCEMENT 2 The digestive process

    RememberThe digestive process takes place in the digestive system. There are three stages:

      Digestion. It begins in the mouth. The food is crushed, mixed with saliva and swallowed. Now,

    it is called bolus. The bolus passes through the pharynx and the oesophagus into the

    stomach. There, it is mixed with gastric juices to form chyme.

      Absorption. This occurs in the small intestine. The nutrients pass into the blood.

    EXTENSIONThe Rh factor2

    All human blood contains the same components: plasma, red

    blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. However, there aredifferent blood types. The four main blood types or blood groups

    are: A, B, AB and O. Your blood type depends on the type of

    protein on the surface of your red blood cells.

    Most people can only receive or donate blood to people who have

    the same blood type. People with type O, however, are called

    universal donors. Their blood can be given to almost anybody

    without danger of rejection. Similarly, people with type AB blood

    are called universal recipients.

    They can receive blood

    of any type.

    Some red blood cells have

    a protein on the surface called the Rh factor. A person whose blood

    has this protein is Rh positive: Rh+. A person whose blood does

    not have this factor is Rh negative: Rh–. If you are Rh-, you can

    only receive Rh negative blood.

    We inherit blood type from our parents in the same way that we

    inherit eye or hair colour. Blood type can also vary depending on

    the place of origin of a specific population. For example, almost

    all indigenous people in Peru have type O blood. In central Asia,

    type B is the most common.

    Almost all animals have organs that enable them to capture light and perceive images

    of the world around them. However, there are interesting and important differences betweenthese organs. All of them have two types of photoreceptor cells in the retina:

      Cones enable animals to see in colours and with high-quality images, but they need light

    to function.

      Rods enable animals to see in low light, but images are low-quality.

    Daylight vision animals, like human beings, have many more cones than rods. As a result, they see

    worse in the dark than other animals, but image quality is good. Nocturnal animals, on the other hand,

    have more rods than cones and also larger eyes. As a result they see better at night.

    Pupil shape also varies widely. For example, human beings have round

    pupils, while cats have vertical slits. Goats have horizontal slits so their

    eyelids do not obstruct their vision. The most unusual pupil shape in theanimal kingdom are the W-shaped pupils of the cuttlefish.

    Birds of prey have the sharpest vision of all animals.

    The part of their brain responsible for interpreting visual

    stimuli is very large. They have big pupils with many

    rods and cones in the central part of the retina. As

    a result, they can see very clearly at great distances.

    Insects and many other invertebrates have compound

    eyes that consist of many small eyes or facets called

    ommatidia. Each ommatidium is a complete and

    independent eye made up of a group of cells. Together, the ommatidiareceive a single image made up of separate bits of information. All these

    bits are received by the nervous system, which then produces a single image.
