- Kingdom Fungi: Multicellular organisms, including mushrooms and yeasts
- Kingdom Plantae: Multicellular organisms, including all plants
- Kingdom Animalia: Multicellular organisms with complex systems, including humans and insects
7 Level Classification System
- Kingdom: The broadest level, grouping organisms based on common characteristics
- Phylum: A subdivision of a kingdom, grouping organisms with similar characteristics
- Class: A subdivision of a phylum, grouping organisms with more specific characteristics
- Order: A subdivision of a class, grouping organisms with even more specific characteristics
- Family: A subdivision of an order, grouping organisms with similar characteristics
- Genus: A subdivision of a family, grouping organisms that are closely related
- Species: The narrowest level, grouping organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring
Diversity of Animals
- Invertebrates: Animals without a backbone, including insects, worms, and molluscs
- Vertebrates: Animals with a backbone, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals
Diversity of Plants
- Non-vascular Plants: Lack a vascular system for transporting water and nutrients, including mosses and liverworts
- Vascular Plants: Have a vascular system for transporting water and nutrients, including ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms
Structure of the Flower
- Sepals: Protect the flower bud before it opens
- Petals: Attract pollinators
- Stamens: The male reproductive parts, which produce pollen
- Pistil: The female reproductive parts, which contain the ovary, style and stigma
Pollination
- The transfer of pollen from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a pistil
- Self-pollination: Pollen is transferred from anther to stigma of the same flower
- Cross-pollination: Pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of a different flower
Fertilisation
- The fusion of male and female gametes
- Pollen grain germinates: A pollen tube grows from the pollen grain down the style, to the ovary
- Male gamete: The pollen tube carries a male gamete to the ovule within the ovary
- Female gamete: The male gamete fuses with the female gamete in the ovule, forming a zygote
Adaptations for Pollination
- Brightly coloured petals: Attract pollinators
- Scent: Attract pollinators
- Nectar: A sugary liquid that attracts pollinators
- Shape: A specific shape that facilitates pollination by specific pollinators
Distillation
- A separation method that uses the difference in boiling points of liquids
- Components of a mixture are vaporized: Based on their different boiling points
- Vapor is condensed: Back into a liquid, separating the components
Chromatography
- A separation method that uses the difference in the movement of substances through a stationary phase (paper) and a mobile phase (solvent)
- Components of a mixture are separated: Based on their affinity for the stationary and mobile phases
- The substances with a greater affinity for the mobile phase: Move faster and further up the stationary phase, and are therefore more separated from the stationary phase
Properties of Acids
- Taste: Sour
- Feel: May cause a burning sensation on the skin
- Reaction with metals: Produce hydrogen gas
- Reaction with carbonates: Produce carbon dioxide gas
Properties of Bases
- Taste: Bitter
- Feel: Slippery
- Reaction with acids: Produce salt and water
Properties of Neutrals
- Taste: Neither sour nor bitter
- Feel: Neither burning nor slippery
Acid-base indicators
- Substances that change colour in the presence of acid or base
- Examples include: Litmus paper, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange
History of the Periodic Table
- Created by Dmitri Mendeleev: Based on the observation that elements with similar properties appeared at regular intervals in the periodic table
First 20 Elements
- The first 20 elements are ordered by increasing atomic number, and their chemical properties are related to their electron configuration
Energy and change
- Atoms release energy when they undergo chemical reactions
Energy and Energy Flow Diagrams
- Energy is the ability to do work. It can be stored in different forms, like chemical energy, kinetic energy, potential energy and heat energy
- Energy flow diagrams: Show the transfer of energy between different forms and systems
Laws of conservation
- The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another
Conduction/Convection/Radiation
- Conduction: The transfer of heat by direct contact between two objects
- Convection: The transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases)
- Radiation: The transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves, including light
8 Phases of the Moon
- New Moon: The moon is not visible from Earth
- Waxing Crescent: A sliver of the moon is visible, and it is getting bigger
- First Quarter: Half of the moon is visible, and it is shaped like a half circle
- Waxing Gibbous: More than half of the moon is visible, and it is getting bigger
- Full Moon: The entire moon is visible
- Waning Gibbous: More than half of the moon is visible, and it is getting smaller
- Last Quarter: Half of the moon is visible, and it is shaped like a half circle
- Waning Crescent: A sliver of the moon is visible, and it is getting smaller
Tides
- Caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans: The moon’s gravity has a stronger pull on the ocean on the side of the Earth closest to the moon, resulting in a high tide
- High tides: Occurred on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side of the Earth
- Low tides: Occur on the sides of the Earth that are not facing the moon
Nicolaus Copernicus
- Proposed the heliocentric model: The planets revolve around the Sun rather than the Earth
- Challenged the geocentric model: The Earth revolved around the Sun
Galileo Galilei
- Made improvements to the telescope: This allowed him to make new observations of the planets and stars
- Observed the phases of Venus: Provided support for the heliocentric model
Johannes Kepler
- Developed the laws of planetary motion: These laws describe how the planets move around the Sun
- Identified the elliptical orbits of the planets: They do not move in perfect circles
Isaac Newton
- Developed the law of universal gravitation: This law explains the force of attraction between objects with mass
Classification of Living Organisms
- Five Kingdoms of living organisms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
- Levels of classification: Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
- Diversity of animals: Vertebrates (with backbones) and invertebrates (without backbones).
- Diversity of plants: Vascular plants (have a system of tubes for transporting water and nutrients) and nonvascular plants (don't have a system of tubes).
Sexual Reproduction in Angiosperms
- Angiosperms are flowering plants.
- Structure of a flower: petals, sepals, stamen (male reproductive part), and pistil (female reproductive part).
- Pollination: The transfer of pollen from the stamen to the pistil.
- Fertilization: The fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete.
Methods of Physical Separation
- Distillation: Separating liquids with different boiling points.
- Chromatography: Separating mixtures based on the different rates at which substances move through a stationary phase.
Acids, Bases, and Neutrals
- Acids: Taste sour, turn litmus paper red, react with bases to form salts and water.
- Bases: Taste bitter, turn litmus paper blue, react with acids to form salts and water.
- Neutral substances: Neither acidic nor basic.
- Acid-base indicators: Substances that change color in the presence of acids or bases.
Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements by their atomic number and properties.
- The first 20 elements are: hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, and calcium.
Potential Energy
- Energy is the ability to do work.
- Energy can be transferred from one object to another.
- Conduction: Transfer of heat through direct contact.
- Convection: Transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).
- Radiation: Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
- Law of conservation of energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
Relationship of the Moon to Earth
- The moon's gravity causes tides on Earth.
- The moon goes through eight phases as it orbits the Earth: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent.
Historical Development of Astronomy
- Nicolaus Copernicus: Proposed the heliocentric model of the Solar System (Sun-centered).
- Galileo Galilei: Made observations with a telescope, supporting the heliocentric model.
