A systematic process for investigating phenomena and acquiring knowledge.

A testable prediction about the relationship between variables.

The types and amounts of substances that make up a chemical compound.

A chart organizing all known chemical elements by atomic number and properties.

A region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's harmful UV radiation.

The warming of Earth due to trapped heat from greenhouse gases.

Energy is the capacity to do work; work is the energy transferred when a force moves an object.

Various forms of environmental contamination affecting air, water, and soil.

Energy sources from ancient plants and animals, including coal, oil, and natural gas.

Crude oil, coal, and natural gas are key fossil fuels found in Nigeria, with major reserves in the Niger Delta.

Naturally occurring inorganic substances, like metals and gemstones, used for industry.

Includes tin, limestone, gold, coal, and iron ore, which are mined for industrial use.

Materials, such as uranium, used for generating nuclear energy.

Mineral used mainly in fertilizers, vital for agriculture.

Rare metals like gold and silver used in manufacturing and as currency.

Issues like environmental degradation and over-reliance on oil affecting Nigeria's economy.

The reduction of finite resources like oil and gas affecting economy and energy security.

Resources that can be replenished naturally in a short time, like solar and wind energy.

Resources that cannot be replenished on a human timescale, such as oil and coal.

The effect of resource utilization on the environment; renewable has minimal impact if managed well.

Renewable resources can lead to job creation in emerging sectors but are sustainable in the long run.

Dominant in economies like Nigeria, but can cause vulnerability due to resource price changes.

The ability of a country to reduce dependence on fossil fuels using renewable sources.

Mainly solar, wind, hydro, and biomass energy which could enhance energy access.

Pressure (P) is the force (F) applied per unit area (A).

Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa) in SI units.

Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as KE = (1/2) × mass (m) × velocity (v)².

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is KE = 0.5 × m × v².

Mass is the quantity of matter in an object, measured in kilograms (kg).

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and it is a vector quantity.

Mass is constant regardless of location while weight can vary based on gravity.

Errors in measurement can be systematic, random, or human; each type can be minimized in different ways.

Uses positional values based on 60 for representing numbers.

Unique symbols used for numbers: 𒐕 = 1, horizontal wedge = 10, two wedges = 60.

Fractions in Babylonian math were expressed as parts of 60.

Included addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and tables for calculations.

Calculated area and volume, including the area of rectangles and circles.

Babylonians solved them using trial and error and geometric methods.

Babylonian concepts shaped Greek and Islamic methods, especially in timekeeping.

Ancient India formalized zero and the decimal system, represented as powers of ten.

The effort required to lift an object, resulting in potential energy.

Stored energy due to an object's position or condition, like height or compression.

PE = mgh; calculates potential energy based on mass, height, and gravity.

Total energy of an object, combining both kinetic and potential energy.

Includes kinetic, potential, mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, nuclear, and radiant.

The process of converting energy from one form to another, such as potential to kinetic.
