Trachea: it acts as a passage for air and has cilia
and mucus that trap dust. It is a cylindrical tube
lined with rings of cartilage to prevent collapsing.
Bronchi: directs air to the lungs.
Lungs: this is where gaseous exchange takes place.
Ribs: give physical protection of the lungs.

Different forms of energy can be changed
Combustion of fuels in motor vehicles, with the help of
electric energy from a battery, results in the conversions
of chemical energy into kinetic, heat and light energy. In
the electric storage battery, chemical energy is converted
to electrical energy and later converted to light and sound
energy.

Advantages

Disadvantages

-The person must be within the premises or available to
pick up a telephone call.
-If they are not available, communication will not take

Disadvantages

feedback.
Teacher Pupils copy
-Radios can only send radio signals without visual
signals. writes brief the notes in Eclectic
-Radio signals are susceptible to interference so it can notes on the their note Method
sometimes be hard to receive a clear signal. board books
TELEVISION
Television is one of the popular ways of sending
information around the world. Nowadays. It is very
effective because it combines both audio and video
signals.
Advantages
-Television is able to combine both sound and pictures
thus making the communication process more effective.
-It has a wide geographical coverage and broad audience
-Television keeps the audience well informed of current
affairs and breaking news around the world.
Disadvantages
-It is an expensive method of communication. Buying a
television for example, can be very expensive.
-The programmes are not aired at a convenient time for
the viewer.
-Unlike the radio, one cannot watch television while
doing something else, such as driving since it requires the
full attention of the viewer.
EMAIL
E mail stands for electronic mail. It enables a person to
send well arranged text files and pictures to another
person’s e- mail address.
Advantages
-Emails are fast. They are delivered at once around the
world. No other form of written communication is as fast
as the email.
-Aside from the cost of internet connections, email is
free. One can send as many messages, files, videos,
documents and presentations as he or she wants without
having to pay anything.
.
-Thousands of email messages can be archived into
folders on your computer or handheld communication
device such as a cell phone to be retrieved when you
need them.
Disadvantages
-Emails can carry viruses which can affect the computer Teacher asks Pupils
systems. They can read your email address book and
send themselves to a number of people around the world. random responds to Teachers
questions to the teachers Exposition
-Many people send unwanted emails to others. It could
take a lot of time to them out and sometimes important check on questions
messages get lost in the many unsolicited emails. pupils
-Sending an email requires both the sender and the understanding
recipient to have email addresses and access to the
