    Study Notes

    Interactions and Ecosystems

    • Predator-prey relationships can be visualized on graphs.
    • Understand food webs and how energy flows through them.
    • Differentiate between primary and secondary succession.
    • Distinguish abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) components in ecosystems.
    • Recognize different types of symbiosis (e.g., commensalism, mutualism, parasitism).
    • Define and understand the concept of an ecological footprint and activities that influence it.
    • Identify key terms related to species status, including endangered, vulnerable, and extinct.
    • Note various adaptations (behavioral and physical/structural) in organisms.
    • Understand the impacts of deforestation and their consequences.
    • Classify organisms into categories like carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, predators, prey, and producers.
    • Recognize biodiversity as a crucial concept.

    Heat and Temperature

    • Comprehend the particle model of matter's principles.
    • Understand different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
    • Know various phase changes (e.g., sublimation, condensation, melting).
    • Differentiate between heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection, radiation).
    • Distinguish between conductors and insulators.
    • Interpret data using thermometers.
    • Identify independent, dependent, and control variables.
    • Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various energy sources (e.g., oil, gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro).
    • Define and understand key terms associated with heat and temperature. These include thermal energy, temperature, expansion, contraction, and concepts of renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
    • Know the concept of kinetic energy.
