Form 2 Chapter 1 The World Around Us

This document contains a chapter from a Form 2 science textbook. It includes 5 sections with diagrams and questions about the structures and functions of the human ear, eye, and vision defects. It also covers refraction of light and a plant response experiment. The key topics covered are: 1) Labeling diagrams of the ear with structures like the cochlea and eardrum and identifying their functions; 2) Labeling diagrams of the eye with structures like the retina and cornea and their roles in vision; 3) Identifying incident, refracted, and normal rays in a diagram of light passing through glass; 4) Describing an experiment on plant responses to stimuli and predicting shoot and root growth
