Adventures in Science, Student Book 5 is the Class 5 science textbook of the Army Public Schools & Colleges System, and the green cover states it is ‘Based on National Curriculum 2022’. It shows an astronaut in a spacesuit beside a rocket, giraffes, and a hand holding a seedling in soil. Available to order now for the 2027-28 session.
Ten chapters cover the Class 5 syllabus: the human body system, microorganisms and diseases, ecosystems, physical and chemical changes, light and sound, electricity and magnetism, technology, the structure of the Earth, soil, and space and satellites. It is the last primary science book, and the one that prepares a child for the secondary science course.
Full table of contents: Chapters 1 to 10
The contents list ten chapters with their starting pages, given here exactly as printed with a note on what each gives the student.
Chapter 1: Structure and Function – Human Body System
- Structure and Function – Human Body System (p. 1)
Why it helps: The opening chapter takes the body apart into systems (digestive, respiratory, circulatory and more) and shows how each does its job. It gives the child a real picture of their own body.
Chapter 2: Microorganisms and Diseases
- Microorganisms and Diseases (p. 12)
Why it helps: Germs, bacteria and viruses, how diseases spread and how hygiene and vaccination stop them. A very practical chapter.
Chapter 3: Ecosystem
Why it helps: Food chains, habitats and the balance of nature, and how living things depend on one another. The longest chapter in the first half of the book.
Chapter 4: Physical and Chemical Changes of Matter
- Physical and Chemical Changes of Matter (p. 45)
Why it helps: Melting and freezing versus burning and rusting. This is the child’s first proper chemistry, and the difference between changes that can be reversed and changes that cannot.
Chapter 5: Light and Sound
Why it helps: How light travels and how sound is made, with reflections, shadows and vibrations. A good chapter for home experiments.
Chapter 6: Electricity and Magnetism
- Electricity and Magnetism (p. 65)
Why it helps: Circuits, conductors and insulators, and magnets. The foundation for physics in later years.
Chapter 7: Technology in Everyday Life
- Technology in Everyday Life (p. 75)
Why it helps: How technology helps us at home, school and work, and the responsibilities that come with it.
Chapter 8: Structure of the Earth
- Structure of the Earth (p. 86)
Why it helps: The layers of the Earth, rocks and landforms, and how the planet changes over time.
Chapter 9: Soil
Why it helps: What soil is made of, why it matters for farming and how to look after it. Especially relevant in an agricultural country like Pakistan.
Chapter 10: Space and Satellites
- Space and Satellites (p. 101)
Why it helps: The Sun, the planets, artificial satellites and what they do for us, from weather forecasts to phone signals. A fitting finish to the year.
