- Unit 1 Scientific Learning A good experiment is a fair test, and a good formula has to make sense in its units. Science and research
- Unit 2 Classification of Living Beings All life is one family tree, and sorting it shows how each living thing is related to the rest. Living things
- Unit 3 Honey Bee A colony of honey bees works like one animal, every bee doing its part, and Nepal's bees feed us and our crops. Living things
- Unit 4 Heredity Why children look like their parents, but not exactly: how cells divide and pass on their instructions. Living things
- Unit 5 Physiological Structure and Life Process The heart, blood and blood vessels carry life around the body every second. How do we keep them healthy? Living things
- Unit 6 Nature and Environment People are changing the climate and the living world, and Nepal shows that things can also be put right. Living things
- Unit 7 Motion and Force The same pull that drops an apple keeps the Moon in its orbit and holds the universe together. Physics
- Unit 8 Pressure A push on a liquid or a gas spreads everywhere in it. That is how brakes work and why ships float. Physics
- Unit 9 Heat Heat always flows from hot to cold, and how much it takes to warm something depends on what it is made of. Physics
- Unit 10 Wave Light bends as it passes from one material into another, and that bending lets us see, make lenses and correct eyes. Physics
- Unit 11 Electricity and Magnetism Electricity and magnetism are two sides of one thing, and the link between them runs motors and generators. Physics
- Unit 12 Universe The universe is vast, old and still growing, and we can read its story in light. Earth and space
- Unit 13 Information and Communication Technology Every message, picture and song can be turned into numbers and sent anywhere, to be used well or badly. Technology
- Unit 14 Classification of Elements The elements fall into a pattern, and the periodic table is so good it foretold elements no one had yet found. Chemistry
- Unit 15 Chemical Reaction Reactions happen in a few kinds of ways, and we can make them go faster or slower. Chemistry
- Unit 16 Gases Some gases keep us alive, some keep the Earth warm, and some, in the wrong place, turn rain into acid. Chemistry
- Unit 17 Metals and Non-metals Metals lie hidden in rocks as ores, and getting them out pure is a long journey from mine to metal. Chemistry
- Unit 18 Hydrocarbon and its Compounds Chains of carbon and hydrogen are our fuels, and adding other atoms to them makes alcohols and much more. Chemistry
- Unit 19 Chemicals used in Daily Life The chemicals in our kitchens, fields and bathrooms make life easier, and some of them come at a cost. Chemistry
