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.
