Study Notes
Energy and Machines
- A dry cell stores chemical energy.
- Heat is always produced during energy transformation.
- A dry cell is used in portable radios to convert chemical energy into sound.
- A lever is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar free to move at a fixed point.
Earthquakes and Tsunamis
- Great earthquakes occur due to shifting crustal plates.
- The magnitude of an earthquake refers to the total amount of energy released.
- A tsunami is caused by earthquakes under the sea.
Safety and Precautions
- Before an earthquake, it's important to perform an earthquake drill regularly.
- After an earthquake, avoid elevators as they may become unsafe.
Volcanic Activity
- Mount Pinatubo in Zambales is known for its violent eruptions that reached the stratosphere.
- Signs of impending volcanic eruptions include escaping gases and changes in water level.
- An active volcano may erupt without warning, necessitating vigilance from nearby residents.
Climate and Weather
- Areas surrounded by seas typically experience a mild climate.
- Autumn is the season when most leaves fall from trees.
Astronomy
- The hottest stars are classified as bluish-white stars.
- The sun appears white in color.
Scientific Method and Hypothesis
- The correct order of the scientific method: ask a question, make a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, analyze results, draw conclusions.
- A scientific question best assessed is: Does the amount of salt in water affect the boiling temperature?
- Observation is the process of obtaining information using the senses.
- An independent variable is the one that can be changed or manipulated in an experiment.
Experiment Variables
- In an experiment concerning ostrich egg temperature, the independent variable is temperature.
- The dependent variable in the same experiment is the gender of the ostrich.
- A hypothesis is an idea or explanation tested through study and experimentation.
