Adventures in Science, Student Book 4 is the Class 4 science textbook of the Army Public Schools & Colleges System, and the cover states it is ‘Based on National Curriculum 2022’. It shows an astronaut floating beside a space shuttle, two giraffes, and a hand holding a small plant in soil, a fair picture of a book that stretches from living things to space. Available to order now for the 2027-28 session.
Eleven chapters cover the whole of Class 4 science: life processes, plants and animals, first aid, ecosystems, matter, energy, forces and simple machines, technology, the Earth and its resources, and the solar system. The chapter titles speak to a ten-year-old’s curiosity, and the sequence moves from the child’s own body outward to the planet and beyond.
Full table of contents: Chapters 1 to 11
The contents list eleven chapters with their starting pages. Each is given here exactly as printed, with a note on what it gives the student.
Chapter 1: Life Processes
Why it helps: The book begins with the characteristics of living things: how they move, grow, breathe and reproduce. It gives the child the questions that the rest of biology answers.
Chapter 2: Plant Structure and Function
- Plant Structure and Function (p. 10)
Why it helps: Roots, stems, leaves and flowers, and what each does. This chapter is the basis for every later lesson on food and ecosystems.
Chapter 3: Animal Structure and Function
- Animal Structure and Function (p. 27)
Why it helps: How animals’ bodies are suited to what they do: eating, moving, sensing and protecting themselves.
Chapter 4: First Aid
Why it helps: A short practical chapter. Knowing what to do for a cut, burn or nosebleed is a life skill, and it is part of the Class 4 science course.
Chapter 5: Ecosystem – Adaptations
- Ecosystem – Adaptations (p. 46)
Why it helps: How living things fit their habitat: desert, forest, sea. Adaptation is one of the most important ideas in biology, and it appears here early.
Chapter 6: Matter and Its Characteristics
- Matter and Its Characteristics (p. 57)
Why it helps: Solids, liquids and gases, and the properties that tell materials apart. This is the child’s first chemistry.
Chapter 7: Forms of Energy and Energy Transfer
- Forms of Energy and Energy Transfer (p. 65)
Why it helps: Heat, light, sound and movement as forms of energy, and how energy moves from one place to another.
Chapter 8: Force and Simple Machines
- Force and Simple Machines (p. 79)
Why it helps: Pushes, pulls and the machines (levers, pulleys, ramps) that make work easier. A hands-on chapter that suits home experiments.
Chapter 9: Technology in Everyday Life
- Technology in Everyday Life (p. 97)
Why it helps: How technology has changed the way we live, learn and travel, and the questions it raises.
Chapter 10: Earth and Its Resources
- Earth and Its Resources (p. 107)
Why it helps: Water, soil, air and minerals, and why we must use them carefully.
Chapter 11: Earth in the Solar System
- Earth in the Solar System (p. 117)
Why it helps: The Sun, the planets and the Moon, and Earth’s place among them. The book ends on the largest scale of all, and the cover astronaut is a hint of where it is going.
Who, when and how
The book is for Class 4 students at Army Public Schools, and is used in the science lesson throughout the year. Parents can help by turning each chapter into a small experiment or observation: plant a seed, walk to a pond, test which objects float, watch the Moon. It runs to about 125 pages, so a chapter every three weeks keeps a comfortable pace.
- What: a Class 4 science Student Book in 11 chapters.
- Why: to cover the National Curriculum 2022 science syllabus for Class 4.
- Whom: Class 4 students; parents who help with homework.
- Where: Army Public Schools & Colleges, and at home.
