    1. Microorganisms are tiny living things that can only be seen using a microscope. They are found all around us in places like air, water, soil, and our bodies. 2. There are four main types of microorganisms - bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. Bacteria come in different shapes and sizes and can reproduce quickly. Viruses are the smallest and can infect plants, animals, and other microbes. Fungi include mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. 3. Microorganisms undergo life processes like breathing, growing, and moving. Experiments show that yeast produces carbon dioxide when it breathes, causing dough to rise.

    MICROORGANISMS

    MEANING OF
    MICROORNISMS
    • Micro – tiny (seni)
    • Organisms – living things (benda
    hidup)
    • Can found all around us.
    • Can found in the air, water, food,
    soil(tanah) and in our bodies.
    • Microorganisms are so small that we
    cannot see them with naked eye.
    • Use microscope to see
    microorganisms.
    bacteria

    protozoa
    Types of
    Microorganisms virus

    fungi
    BACTERIA
    • Very tiny
    • Exist (wujud) in different shapes,
    sizes and colours.
    • Can found in the air, water, soil, and
    on the surface that you touch.
    • Can reproduce (membiak)very fast
    under suitable temperature(suhu),
    and with enough water and food.
    BACTERIA
    • Most active in places that are warm,
    dark, maist (lembap) and dirty.
    • Most kinds of bacteria are harmless,
    and many are even helpful.
    • Cause diseases such as
    diarhoea(cirit-birit), sore
    throat(sakit kerongkong).
    VIRUS
    • Are the smallest microorganisms
    • Can only be seen using the most
    powerful microscope.
    • Can infect plants, animals and
    bacteria.
    • Colds and flu (demam selesema) are
    caused by viruses.
    • Virus are responsible for many
    serious and sometimes deadly
    diseases likes AIDS and H1N1.
    PROTOZOA
    • Are langer than viruses and bacteria.
    • Usually live in water. (ponds, lakes,
    river)
    • Can be harmless or harmful.
    • Malaria is one diseases cause by a
    type of protozoa.
    FUNGI
    • Are the largest of four types of
    microorganisms.
    • Mushrooms(cendawan),
    moulds(kulapuk), yeast(yis) are
    example of fungi.
    • Can be found on mouldy(roti yang
    lembap), rotten food(makanan basi),
    and trees.
    FUNGI
    • Fungi get their food from dead
    organisms or dead matter on an
    organism
    • Reproduces from spores(spora).
    Mushroom is an example of fungi that
    reproduces from spores.
    • Some fungi, like yeast are so small
    that we need a microscope to see
    them
    LIFE PROCESSES THAT
    MICROORGANISMS UNDERGO

    • Microorganisms are breathing


    (bernafas)
    • Yeast is an example of
    microorganisms.
    Microorganisms Breathe
    Aim : To show that miroorganism (yeast)breathes
    Appratus & Material :
    1 cup of flour
    ½ cup of dried yeast
    1 teaspoon of sugar
    Procedure:
    4. All the ingredients are mixed.
    5. The mixture is stirred(dikacau) well to make a dough.
    6. The dough is covered with damp cloth(kain lembap) and
    place in warm spot(tempat hangat)
    7. The mixture is left 20 minutes
    Observation (pemerhatian) :
    After 20 minutes the dough rises (mengembang)

    Explanation:
    When the yeast breathes, it releases carbon
    dioxide. This carbon dioxide causes the dough rises.

    Conclusion:
    Breathing by yeast produces carbon dioxide which
    causes the dough to rise.
    MICROORGANISMS
    GROWING (MEMBESAR)
    Aim : To show that microorganisms
    (bread mould) grows.
    Apparatus & materials :
    Bread, water, plastic bag, rubber
    band, plastic knife and magnifying
    glass.
    Procedures :
    1. A slice of bread is prepared.
    2. Water is lightly sprinkled onto the
    surface of the bread.
    3. The bread is put in the plastic bag.
    4. The plastic bag is tied up with a
    rubber band and place in a warm
    place.
    5. The bread is observed using a
    magnifying glass after a few days.
    Observation :
    Greenish blue patches(tompok-tompok biru)
    were seen on the surface of the bread.

    Discussion:
    The coloured patches on the bread are the
    bread mould (kulapuk roti)

    Conclusion :
    Microorganisms grow when there is food and
    the surrounding conditions are suitable.
    MICROORGANISM
    MOVING (BERGERAK)
    Aim : to show that mocroorganism
    move
    Apparatus & material :
    Glass, slide, slide cover, microscope,
    droper(penitis) and sample of water
    of water.
    Procedure:
    2.Sample of water are collected from
    ponds or rivers.
    2. A dropper is used to place a
    droplet of water sample on a glass
    slide.
    3. The water sample is then covered
    with the slide cover.
    4. The slide is observed under a
    microscope.
    Observation :
    A lot of tiny things are seen moving
    about in the water.

    Conclusion :
    Microorganisms can move.

    Table below shows the results of an
    investigation carried out by a group of students
    from year 5 teratai to find out if water
    necessary for microorganisms to grow. They
    heated a piece of bread in the toaster to dry it
    and sprinkled a few drops of water on another
    piece. The pieces of bread were left at a dark
    corner of the science laboratory for 4 days.
