    Study Notes

    Earth and Solar System

    • The Earth is a planet in our solar system.
    • It orbits the Sun, which is a star.
    • The Sun is the center of our solar system.
    • Planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun.
    • The Earth has one moon.
    • Earth is the only planet known to support life.
    • The Earth's atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation from the sun.
    • Earth's rotation causes day and night.
    • Earth's revolution around the Sun causes the seasons.
    • The distance from the Sun affects the temperature on Earth.

    Diseases

    • Diseases are conditions that affect the body and make it not function correctly.
    • Many diseases are caused by germs or viruses.
    • Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens.
    • Non-infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens.
    • Some diseases are genetic, meaning they are passed down from parents to children.
    • Diseases can cause pain, discomfort, or disability.
    • It's important to see a doctor if you aren't feeling well or think you have a disease.
    • Good hygiene practices can prevent the spread of many diseases.
    • Diseases can be treated with medication or other therapies.

    Electrical circuits for 6th Graders

    • An electrical circuit is a closed path that allows electricity to flow.
    • A circuit needs a source of electricity (like a battery).
    • Conductors allow electricity to flow through them.
    • Insulators keep electricity from flowing through them.
    • A switch controls the flow of electricity.
    • A simple circuit has one complete path. complex circuit has more than one path.
    • Series circuits have one path. If one bulb burns out, all will go out.
    • Parallel circuits have multiple paths. If one bulb burns out, others stay lit.
    • Electricity flows from the negative terminal of a battery to the positive terminal.
    • In a circuit, the flow of electrons needs to be continuous to complete the circuit.
    • Components such as transistors and resistors regulate the flow of electricity in electronic circuits.
    • Circuits can be used to operate various electronic devices such as lights, computers or televisions.
    • A complete circuit is essential for electricity to flow.
    • Using diagrams or schematics are important to help understand how electricity flows through circuits.
    • The current in a circuit is measured in amperes (amps).
    • Voltage in a circuit is measured in volts.
    • Resistance in a circuit is measured in ohms.
    • Ohm's Law relates voltage, current, and resistance: Voltage = Current x Resistance.
    • Static electricity is a temporary buildup of electrical charge.
    • Static electricity can build up in dry weather.
    • Static electricity can be discharged by touching a conductor.
