Study Notes

Energy

Construct and draw simple electric circuits
Identify that electric current and voltage involve electrical energy, which can be transformed into other forms of energy
power supply provides energy to the circuit
a light bulb emits light energy
wire transfers energy between circuit components
a voltmeter measures voltage across a circuit component, must be parallel to the component
an ammeter measures current in a circuit, must be in series with the component
resistor provides resistance to the circuit, controls flow
voltage is the energy provided to a circuit, measured in volts (V)
current is the quantity of charge flowing through the circuit per second, measured in Amperes (A)

Cells

MRS GREN describes the characteristics of living organisms: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, nutrition
Identify the parts of a light microscope and their functions
Animal and plant cells share a nucleus, housing genetic material and coordinating cellular activities
Both cells have mitochondria, where energy is produced through cellular respiration
Plant cells have a cell wall, made of cellulose, which provides structural support and protection
Plant cells contain chloroplasts, where chlorophyll captures sunlight for photosynthesis
Plant cells have a large central vacuole that stores water, nutrients, and waste products, maintaining cell turgor pressure

Cellular Respiration

Mitosis is the process of cell duplication, where one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells
Cells use cellular respiration to convert chemical energy trapped in glucose into energy for cells
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria
word equation for cellular respiration: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

Flower, Root, Stem, Leaf

The flower is the reproductive organ of a flowering plant, containing the male and female reproductive parts to produce seeds
The root anchors the plant in the soil, absorbs water and nutrients, and stores food
The stem supports the plant and transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant
The leaf is the primary site for photosynthesis; it captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (glucose)

Chemical World

Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, consisting of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, orbited by electrons
The nucleus contains protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral charge)
Electrons are negatively charged, orbiting the nucleus in shells
The periodic table is a chart that organizes the elements, by atomic number and properties
Metals generally have a shiny appearance, are malleable, have high melting points, are good electrical and heat conductors
Nonmetals often have a dull appearance, are brittle, have lower melting points, are poor electrical and heat conductors

Chemical Reactions

Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances
Physical changes involve only a change in the state or appearance of a substance
Change of shape, expansion and contraction are physical change examples
Digesting food, photosynthesis, baking chicken, and burning wood are chemical change examples
Physical changes can be reversible, while chemical changes are often irreversible
Boiling water is a reversible physical change
Decomposition of water is an irreversible chemical change

Rock Your World

The Earth is composed of four main layers: crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core
The crust is the outermost layer, composed of rocks and minerals
The mantle is a thick, semi-solid layer between the crust and the outer core, made of silicate rocks
The outer core is a liquid layer, primarily made of iron and nickel, generating the Earth's magnetic field
The inner core is a solid sphere at the center of the Earth, also primarily made of iron and nickel
Minerals are naturally occurring solid substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, and can be classified as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
