Carry out this activity in groups. 2. Choose one type of alloy which is different from the other groups. 3. Use recycled materials to build a model of the particle arrangement in the alloy and its pure metal. 4. Present the model in front of the class. Activity 9.1 Gallery Walk 9.1.1 Why is an alloy produced? Generally, most pure metals are soft and can corrode easily. These properties are not suitable for producing most of the things around us. Therefore, the process of forming alloys or alloying is done to improve the properties of pure metal. The atoms in a pure metal are arranged orderly in layers. The layers of atoms in pure metal slide over each other easily when force is applied. Force The layers of atoms slide over easily Figure 9.1 Arrangement of atoms in a pure metal When one or more metal or non-metal elements are added into pure metal, the atoms from these elements make the layers of pure metal atoms difficult to slide over each other. This is because foreign atoms have different sizes. This makes alloys stronger and harder than pure metals. Atoms of pure metal Atoms of foreign element + Alloy Atom of pure metal Atom of foreign element When force is applied, the layers of atoms in pure metal have difficulty to slide over each other Figure 9.2 An alloy The composition or percentage of the contents of each element in alloys can be altered based on its use.

Photograph 3.1 Technique to measure body temperature using a clinical thermometer Measuring Body Temperature with the Correct Technique Clinical Thermometer 1. Before using a thermometer, make sure its temperature is lower than 35°C. If the temperature exceeds 35°C, the thermometer should be shaken until the reading is lower than 35°C. 2. Place the thermometer under the armpit or in the mouth for about 2 to 3 minutes (or until a ‘beep’ sound is heard, if you are using a digital clinical thermometer). 3. Pull out the thermometer and record the reading. The kink in the clinical thermometer is to ensure that the mercury does not go down quickly after it is removed from the mouth or the armpit. This is to give a more accurate reading. This kink is not found in the laboratory thermometer. Figure 3.2 Kink in the clinical thermometer Laboratory Thermometer 1. The laboratory thermometer is not suitable to measure body temperature because the laboratory thermometer does not have a kink in the mercury tube. 2. When the thermometer is removed from the body, whether from the mouth or the armpit, the temperature reading will go down quickly. This will cause the reading to be inaccurate. 3. If the laboratory thermometer is used to measure body temperature, the reading must be taken when the thermometer is still in the mouth or under the armpit to ensure accuracy. Rectal Thermometer 1. The rectal thermometer is usually used for infants less than 3 months old. Make sure that the thermometer used is labelled for rectal use. 2. Clean the tip of the thermometer with alcohol. 3. Dab some petroleum jelly on the thermometer tip to make it easier for the thermometer to be inserted into the infant’s rectum. 4. Raise the infant’s legs as shown in Figure 3.3. 5. Insert 1.5 − 2.5 cm of the thermometer into the infant’s rectum. 6. Allow the thermometer to remain there until a ‘beep’ sound is heard. 7. Record the temperature. Figure 3.3 Technique to measure body temperature using a rectal thermometer 35 Techniques of Measuring the Parameters of Body Health Chapter 3 The Latest Rubber-based Technology Rubber is one of the major commodities of Malaysia. The rubber industry has improved the economy of the country. Research and development on rubber that is carried out by the Malaysian Rubber Board needs to be continued for the rubber industry to grow in our country. Some discoveries have been made using the special properties of rubber in the manufacturing and construction field. What are these technologies? Cuplump Modified Asphalt (CMA) acts as the concrete asphalt for the pavement to last longer, resist heat, reduce noise and road cracks. Getah Colour is a paint produced from latex to be used for visual arts. The rail pad made of rubber is placed between the railway and the train’s engine to reduce vibration and sound.

Activity 12.3 12.3.1 12.3 Impact of Using Nuclear Energy The use of nuclear energy should be regulated properly so as to bring benefits to mankind and the environment. Since nuclear energy is increasingly being used around the world, we should know the impact of using this energy on life and the environment. Impact of Using Nuclear Weapons Early research on nuclear energy was conducted in the 1940s to produce the atomic bomb. Plutonium, the byproduct from nuclear fission in the nuclear reactor was used to make the atomic bomb. The world saw the devastation when nuclear energy was used to make nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons were used by the United States of America on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Think-Pair-Share J.Robert Oppenheimer is the first person in the world to invent the atomic bomb. He is called ‘Father of the Atomic Bomb’. The bomb he invented was used by the American military during World War II. He, however, expressed regret after personally seeing the devastation caused by the explosion of the atomic bomb. 21st Century Skills History Corner Nuclear Energy Chapter 12 263 Brain Teaser Challenging questions that are relevant to the topic Flashback Recalling information learned vi

Due to Malaysian hot weather, tyres made of natural rubber will become soft and melt when exposed to hot road surfaces. So, how can the properties of natural rubber be improved to make it a suitable material for making various things? Observation: Beaker Observation P Q R Questions: 1. What happens when ethanoic acid is added to latex? 2. What happens when ammonia is added to latex? 3. How can coagulation of latex be prevented? 4. Why do latex coagulate when exposed to air? Vulcanisation can improve the properties of rubber and make it stronger. Vulcanisation is a process of heating rubber with sulphur. During vulcanisation, sulphur atoms are added to the chain of natural rubber polymer molecules. The rubber obtained through this process is called vulcanised rubber. + Sulphur S Sulphur cross-links Chain of natural Vulcanised rubber rubber polymer S S S S S S S S S Figure 9.11 Vulcanisation of rubber The molecular structure of vulcanised rubber has a bond between each chain of rubber polymer. This however, cannot be seen in natural rubber. This is due to the added sulphur atoms that produces cross-links between the rubber polymer chains. Therefore, when a force is applied, it is difficult for the chain of vulcanised rubber polymer to slide over each other. When heat is applied, the structure of vulcanised rubber molecules is difficult to break. Thus, the vulcanised rubber is harder and has high resistance to heat. Charles Goodyear (1800 – 1860) He founded the vulcanisation process in 1839. He heated a mixture of natural rubber with 1% – 3% of sulphur according to its mass.

BrainTeaser Tease A baby has 275 bones at birth, whereas an adult has 206 bones. Why does this difference occur? The Human Skeletal System The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones of various sizes and shapes. The human skeleton can be divided into two parts, that are the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the skull, the vertebral column, the sternum and the ribs. The appendicular skeleton consists of the pectoral girdle, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle and the lower limbs. The pelvic girdle is connected to the axial skeleton. The pelvic girdle is formed from a pair of hip bones. The pelvic girdle supports weight, protects the bladder and the reproductive organs. Figure 6.9 The human skeleton Pectoral girdle There is a pair of pectoral girdles in the human body. The pectoral girdle connects the upper limbs to the axial skeleton. The pectoral girdle consists of the clavicle and the scapula. The upper limb consists of the humerus, radius, ulna, carpus, metacarpus and phalanx. The end of the humerus, that is ball-shaped, is attached to the pectoral girdle. The lower end of the humerus is attached to the radius and ulna. The radius and ulna are attached to the carpus bones to form the wrist. The metacarpus bones form the palm and are attached to the carpus bones. The phalanx bones that form the fingers are attached to the metacarpus bones. Axial skeleton Appendicular Skeleton Cranium Clavicle Scapula Humerus Carpus Metacarpus Phalanx Radius Ulna Femur Tibia Phalanx Metatarsus Patella Fibula Tarsus Vertebral column The vertebral column consists of 33 small bones or vertebrae. These bones that are connected form a strong and flexible column. This vertebral column has a very important function, that is to protect the spinal cord. Front view Side view Skull Upper limb Pelvic girdle Lower limb The lower limb consists of the femur, tibia, fibula, tarsus, metatarsus and phalanx. The upper end of the femur that is ball-shaped is attached to the pelvic girdle. The lower end of the femur is attached to the tibia and fibula. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the calf. The lower ends of the tibia and fibula are attached to the tarsus, that is, the ankle. The tarsus is attached to the metatarsus bones to form the foot. The metatarsus is attached to the phalanx or the bone of the toe. 6.1.5 6.1.5 3D Model The human skull consists of two parts, that are the cranial bones and the facial bones. The function of the cranial bones is to protect the brain. Facial bones serve to provide the basic shape or the framework for the face and also to support the teeth. Ribs and sternum The human ribs consist of 12 pairs of ribs that are joined to the thoracic vertebra at the back. Seven pairs of ribs are attached to the sternum directly and three more ribs are indirectly connected by cartilage. Two more pairs (the last two) hang free. The sternum and the ribs function to protect the main organs, that are the heart and the lungs.

1.2.4 National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) http://bukutekskssm.my/Science/F4/Pg9 INFORMATION Steps to Handle Accidents in the Laboratory Accidents can happen in the laboratory because of carelessness, negligence, events beyond expectation or lack of skills or knowledge in carrying out a science experiment. When carrying out an experiment, your friend spills a type of chemical substance on the table. What should you do? A thermometer that is dropped and broken will cause mercury spillage. Do you know about the dangers of mercury? Mercury poisoning happens when someone touches it or it absorbs through the skin in certain quantities. Mercury can attack the nervous system, digestive tract, reproductive system and kidneys. Thus, attention must be given to handle mercury safely. What should you do if there is a mercury spillage in your school science laboratory? Inform the teacher or the laboratory assistant immediately. Scoop the chemical spillage. Stop the spillage from spreading by using sand to form a boundary. Make the spillage area a restricted zone. Disposed of it safely. Inform the teacher or the laboratory assistant immediately. Call the Fire Department. Sprinkle sulphur powder onto the spillage. Make the spillage area a restricted zone.

2.1 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) 2.1.1 Definition of CPR Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR is an emergency aid that involves a combination of chest compressions and breathing into the mouth of the victim to restore their heartbeat and breathing. What situations require CPR? Situations that Require CPR Figure 2.1 is a circle map that shows several situations of individuals requiring CPR. Hospital If an individual does not respond to stimulus If an individual is not breathing Situations of individuals requiring CPR If an individual has no heartbeat or pulse Medical book Website Figure 2.1 Situations of individuals requiring CPR Photograph 2.1 A group of students learning to do CPR (Photo source: The Star, Malaysia) 20

1 2.1.2 2 Open the airway Ensure that the victim is lying down on a flat surface with the chest facing upwards. Tilt the head back and lift the chin to open up the airway. Check whether the victim is breathing or not by listening for the breathing sound from his mouth or nose. Observe the movement of the victim’s chest. CPR is a simple procedure that does not require any equipment. The public is greatly encouraged to learn the CPR procedure correctly so that they can help to save someone’s life before the paramedics arrive. If this procedure is not performed correctly, the victim’s ribs may be fractured or the air that is blown into the victim’s mouth may not reach the lungs. Let us look at the correct CPR steps for an adult. CPR Procedure Figure 2.3 CPR procedure Check the victim’s responses When you see someone suddenly collapses and becomes unconscious, attend to the victim and make sure that the surrounding area is safe. Then, check the victim’s responses. Tap the victim’s shoulder and ask, “Are you OK?” If there is no response, shout “Help” and ask for help from any bystander to contact the 999 emergency helpline. 22


2.1.2 4 5 CPR Procedure http://bukutekskssm. my/Science/F4/CPR_ VIDEO Pg23.mp4 3 (Source: Basic Life Support Training Manual, published by Ministry of Health Malaysia) Chest compressions are performed 30 times followed by 2 times mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until the ambulance arrives or until the victim regains consciousness. If the victim breathes but is still unconscious, position the victim’s body on his side. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation If there is still no breath, pinch the victim’s nose and blow the air into the victim’s mouth for 1 second. This step enables oxygenated air to enter the trachea and reach the lungs. Chest compressions If no pulse or breath is detected, the chest compression technique must be performed in order to restore blood circulation in the victim’s body. Place the heel of one hand on the centre of the victim’s chest. Ensure that your arms are straightened, cover the first hand with your other hand and interlock your fingers. Rise and lean your body to the front slightly with your shoulders vertically above the victim’s chest, and press down at least 5 cm and not more than 6 cm. Release the compression with your hands still on the victim’s chest. Allow the chest to return to its normal position. Chest compressions are performed at a rate of 100 − 120 compressions per minute. Hand position 23 Emergency Help Chapter 2


Activity 2.1 Science Science Gallery Based on the latest CPR Guidelines (American Heart Association, 2016), if you are uncomfortable with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, the chest compression method can also help to save a victim’s life. Formative Practice Formative Practice 2.1 2.1.2 2.1.3 21st Century Skills Demonstration Aim: To learn how to carry out the CPR procedure. Instructions: 1. Organise a First Aid Course for Form 4 students in your school with the cooperation of the St. John Ambulance of Malaysia (SJAM) or the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS). 2. Contact the nearest SJAM or MRCS to get more information about organising a course with the help of their paramedics. 3. Request the paramedics to demonstrate the correct CPR procedure. Importance of CPR You learned about blood transportation and respiration in Form 3. The CPR procedure is performed to restore the victim’s blood circulation and to supply oxygen to the body of the victim. Chest compression method is used to produce artificial blood circulation by pumping blood through the heart. This method is very important for continuous blood circulation in the victim’s body, especially for a victim who is experiencing a heart attack that causes the heart to stop functioning, and to save the victim’s life at the same time. Apart from giving chest compressions, CPR also involves breathing aid for the victim. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation enables the victim to receive oxygenated air into his lungs. Oxygen will reach the brain and the whole body. Brain damage could happen if oxygen does not reach the brain within a certain period of time. 1. Explain the meaning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). 2. Give three situations that cause breathing or the heartbeat to stop. 3. Muthu and his father were watching television at home when his father had a heart attack and became unconscious. Can Muthu perform CPR on his father? Explain your answer. 4.

2.2.1 Science Science Gallery 2.2 Definition of Heimlich Manoeuvre The Heimlich Manoeuvre is an emergency procedure that is carried out to save an individual who is choking. Choking is a situation that happens when the respiratory tract is blocked because of food or a foreign object. The Heimlich Manoeuvre must be performed immediately if you find someone who is experiencing the following situations: The Importance of the Heimlich Manoeuvre As you already know, the human body and brain always need oxygen. Oxygen is obtained from the air and inhaled into the human lungs. It is then absorbed into all the cells of the human body, including the brain. However, when someone is choking, the respiratory tract is blocked and prevents oxygen from reaching the lungs. This will provide insufficient oxygen to the brain. If the emergency help is given too late, the victim can experience brain damage or worse, it will result in death. Heimlich Manoeuvre History Corner In 1974, Dr. Henry Heimlich, a thoracic specialist surgeon, invented the Heimlich Manoeuvre. How does someone get choked? Epiglottis Oesophagus Food Trachea When someone swallows food, the epiglottis folds and blocks the respiratory tract (trachea). Food continues to move into the oesophagus heading to the stomach. If food blocks the respiratory tract, the person will choke. 1 3 2 4 Unable to speak or cough Holding the neck with both hands Skin, lips and nails appear bluish or blackish Difficulty in breathing Victim’s situations that require the Heimlich Manoeuvre Figure 2.4 Victim’s situations that require the Heimlich Manoeuvre 25 Emergency Help Chapter 2

If we are experiencing health problems, we cannot carry out our daily activities effectively. Many campaigns have been organised to educate the public on taking care of their health such as the ‘Healthy Lifestyle Campaign’ so that people can remain healthy. One of the healthy lifestyle practices is to have regular scheduled medical check-ups. People should not only see a doctor when they are sick. Therefore, we must schedule regular medical check-ups to know the condition of our health so that we can take appropriate action. We can also measure the parameters of our body health if we know the correct technique.

CHEONG 3.1.1 Body Temperature • Measures body temperature • Measures temperature in the range of 35°C to 42°C • Measures body temperature through the rectum • Measures the temperature of liquids • Measures temperature in the range of -10°C to 110°C • Measures body temperature without having any contact with the body Infrared thermometer Types of thermometers Body temperature is measured by using a thermometer. There are four types of thermometers that can be used. Let us look at Figure 3.1 below. Clinical thermometer Rectal thermometer Laboratory thermometer Do you know what temperature is? Temperature is a measurement of the degree of hotness and coldness of a substance. Body temperature is the measurement of the degree of hotness and coldness of our body. We must ensure that our body temperature is always in the normal range. Understanding body temperature is very important because any change in our body temperature whether it is higher or lower, is a sign that our body has a health problem. Our body temperature ensures our body functions at optimal levels. How do we measure body temperature and what instrument is used to measure body temperature? 34


3.1.1 backack The clinical thermometer can measure temperature with an accuracy of 0.1°C, whereas, the laboratory thermometer can measure temperature with an accuracy of 1°C. Photograph 3.1 Technique to measure body temperature using a clinical thermometer Measuring Body Temperature with the Correct Technique Clinical Thermometer 1. Before using a thermometer, make sure its temperature is lower than 35°C. If the temperature exceeds 35°C, the thermometer should be shaken until the reading is lower than 35°C. 2. Place the thermometer under the armpit or in the mouth for about 2 to 3 minutes (or until a ‘beep’ sound is heard, if you are using a digital clinical thermometer). 3. Pull out the thermometer and record the reading. The kink in the clinical thermometer is to ensure that the mercury does not go down quickly after it is removed from the mouth or the armpit. This is to give a more accurate reading. This kink is not found in the laboratory thermometer. Figure 3.2 Kink in the clinical thermometer Laboratory Thermometer 1. The laboratory thermometer is not suitable to measure body temperature because the laboratory thermometer does not have a kink in the mercury tube. 2. When the thermometer is removed from the body, whether from the mouth or the armpit, the temperature reading will go down quickly. This will cause the reading to be inaccurate. 3. If the laboratory thermometer is used to measure body temperature, the reading must be taken when the thermometer is still in the mouth or under the armpit to ensure accuracy. Rectal Thermometer 1. The rectal thermometer is usually used for infants less than 3 months old. Make sure that the thermometer used is labelled for rectal use. 2. Clean the tip of the thermometer with alcohol. 3. Dab some petroleum jelly on the thermometer tip to make it easier for the thermometer to be inserted into the infant’s rectum. 4. Raise the infant’s legs as shown in Figure 3.3. 5. Insert 1.5 − 2.5 cm of the thermometer into the infant’s rectum. 6. Allow the thermometer to remain there until a ‘beep’ sound is heard. 7. Record the temperature.

3.1.1 3.1.2 backack Homeostasis is a mechanism that regulates body temperature so that it remains in a balanced and stable state. Figure 3.4 Factors that can cause body temperature to be above normal reading Factors that can cause body temperature to be above normal reading Infection Bacteria Heat stroke Vigorous exercise Virus Extreme sunburn Exposure to extreme heat Exercise Interpreting Body Temperature A normal human body temperature is 36.9°C. The increase or decrease of this temperature shows that your body is not in a healthy condition. Do you know the factors that can cause your body temperature to be above the normal reading? Infrared Thermometer 1. The infrared thermometer can be used without any contact with the individual. 2. Aim the thermometer on the forehead at a distance of about 5 cm from the individual (do not aim the thermometer directly or indirectly at the eyes). 3. Record the temperature. 4. Taking temperature with this thermometer is very quick. When your body temperature is above 37°C, you may be having a fever. Body temperature also goes below the normal temperature if you are exposed to extreme cold. This condition can also lead to death.

3.2.1 Formative Practice Formative Practice 3.1 3.2 1. State the differences between the clinical thermometer and the rectal thermometer. 2. State three factors that can cause body temperature to go above normal reading. 3. What do you need to do if your body temperature goes above normal reading for more than 3 days? Pulse Rate Pulse Points on the Body You learned about pulse rate in Form 3. Pulse rate is the measurement of the number of heartbeats per minute (bpm). There are a few areas on the body where the pulse can be felt. These are pulse points. In these areas, the arteries are located very close to the surface of the skin. When the heart beats, the pulse is sent to these arteries and can be felt through the skin. Doctors usually take the pulse at the wrist because it is clear, prominent and easy. Figure 3.5 shows the pulse points on the human body. Figure 3.5 Pulse points on the human body 37 Techniques of Measuring the Parameters of Body Health Chapter 3


3.1 Figure 3.6 21st Century Skills Experiment A Human pulse rate based on gender Aim: To study the effect of gender on the human pulse rate. Problem statement: Does the human pulse rate differ according to gender? Hypothesis: Females have higher pulse rate compared to males. Variables: (a) manipulated: Gender (b) responding: Pulse rate (c) constant: Time period, age and type of physical activity Apparatus: Stopwatch Procedure: 1. Carry out this activity in pairs. 2. Count the pulse of male students for 1 minute as shown in Figure 3.6. The female students hold the stopwatch to keep the time. The male students take the pulse count. 3. Record the pulse count in 1 minute. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the female students. Result: Gender Pulse rate (bpm) Male Female Conclusion: Is the hypothesis of this experiment accepted? What is the conclusion of this experiment? Question: Is there a difference between the pulse rates of male and female students? B Human pulse rate based on age Aim: To study the effect of age on the human pulse rate. Problem statement: Does the human pulse rate differ according to age? Hypothesis: The older a person is, the lower his pulse rate. Variables: (a) manipulated: Age (b) responding: Pulse rate (c) constant: Time period, gender and type of physical activity Apparatus: Stopwatch Procedure: 1. Carry out this activity in groups. 2. Count the pulse of one of the students in the group as shown in Figure 3.6. Another student holds the stopwatch and keeps the time. 3.2.2 Let us carry a few experiments to determine how gender, age and physical activities affect our pulse rate. 38


3.2.2 3. Record the pulse count in 1 minute. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with your teacher and the laboratory assistant. Make sure the gender of the student taking the pulse count is the same as your teacher and the laboratory assistant. Result: Sample Age Pulse rate (bpm) Student Teacher Laboratory assistant Conclusion: Is the hypothesis of this experiment accepted? What is the conclusion of this experiment? Question: Is there a difference between the pulse rates based on the samples’ age? C Human pulse rate based on physical activity Aim: To study the effect of physical activity on the human pulse rate. Problem statement: Does the human pulse rate differ according to the type of physical activity? Hypothesis: The more vigorous the physical activity, the higher the pulse rate. Variables: (a) manipulated: Type of physical activity (b) responding: Pulse rate (c) constant: Time period, age and gender Apparatus: Stopwatch Procedure: 1. Carry out this activity in groups. 2. Ask a student from each group to perform three activities, that is, resting, walking and running. Carry out each of the activities for two minutes. (Note: Make sure the student rests for 5 minutes before starting with the next activity.) 3. Count the pulse of the student for 1 minute after each activity and record the readings in the following table. Result: Type of physical activity Pulse rate (bpm) Student 1 Student 2 Student 3 Student 4 Student 5 Student 6 Resting Walking Running Conclusion: Is the hypothesis of this experiment accepted? What is the conclusion of this experiment? Questions: 1. What is the inference that can be made based on the data obtained? 2. Does every student have the same pulse rate? Explain why. 39 Techniques of Measuring the Parameters of Body Health Chapter 3
