    Study Notes

    Blood Vessels

    • Arteries have thick muscular walls to withstand high pressure blood flow
    • Veins have thinner walls than arteries as they carry blood back to the heart with less pressure
    • Veins contain valves to prevent blood flowing backwards
    • Capillaries connect arteries and veins, their thin walls allow materials to pass between blood and cells
    • Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products

    Blood

    • Blood is made of red blood cells which carry oxygen, white blood cells which fight infection and platelets which help blood to clot

    Respiratory System

    • The respiratory system delivers oxygen to the blood and collects carbon dioxide
    • Trachea also known as the windpipe, takes in air from the mouth and nose
    • Bronchi branch from the trachea and enter the lungs where they further divide into smaller tubes
    • Alveoli, or air sacs, are at the end of small tubes in the lungs and are surrounded by capillaries for gas exchange where oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide passes into the alveoli

    Excretory System

    • The excretory system removes waste products from the body
    • The lungs remove carbon dioxide and water vapor when we exhale
    • The skin removes excess salt and water through sweat
    • The kidneys filter waste products such as urea and excess salts from the blood to form urine
    • The ureters are tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder
    • The bladder stores urine until it is excreted
    • The urethra is a tube that releases urine from the bladder

    Skeletal System

    • The Skeletal System is made of 206 bones

    Elements and Compounds

    • Matter is composed of elements, over 110 elements are known
    • Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances
    • Metals have a shiny surface, high melting and boiling points, are solid at room temperature (except mercury), conduct heat and electricity, and are malleable
    • Non-metals are dull, have low or very high melting and boiling points, do not conduct heat and electricity (except carbon), and are brittle
    • Compounds are made of two or more elements chemically combined together
    • Compounds have different properties to the elements that make them up

    Mixtures

    • A compound contains elements joined together in a fixed ratio
    • Mixtures can be separated by physical means such as decantation, filtration, evaporation, distillation, magnetic attraction, and chromatography

    Energy

    • Potential energy is stored energy, e.g., a stretched rubber band
    • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, e.g., a moving car
    • Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation, e.g., sunlight
    • Heat energy is the energy of moving particles, e.g., a hot stove
    • Sound energy is the energy of vibrating matter, e.g., a musical instrument
    • Electrical energy is the energy of moving electrons, e.g., a light bulb
    • Energy can change from one type to another, e.g., a light bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat energy
    • The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed

    Fossil Fuels

    • Non-renewable resources are resources that cannot be replenished at the same rate they are consumed, e.g., fossil fuels
    • Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of ancient organisms over millions of years, e.g., coal and petroleum
    • Coal and petroleum are used for energy generation, transportation, and industrial processes

    Renewable Energy

    • Renewable resources are resources that can be replenished at a rate that keeps up with their consumption, e.g., solar energy
    • Solar energy is harnessed from the sun's radiation, e.g., solar panels

    Heat Transfer

    • Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact between objects, e.g., a pan heating on a stove
    • Metals are good conductors of heat
    • Insulators resist heat transfer, e.g., plastics
    • Convection is heat transfer through the movement of fluids, e.g., boiling water
    • Radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves, e.g., the sun warming the Earth

    Forces

    • A force is anything that changes motion
    • Contact forces touch the object they are acting upon, e.g., friction, air resistance, buoyancy
    • Non-contact forces do not touch the object they are acting upon, e.g., gravity

    Separation Techniques

    • Evaporation is used to separate a soluble solid from a solution, e.g., salt from seawater
    • Distillation is used to separate a pure liquid from a solution by boiling and condensation, e.g., distilling fresh water from seawater
    • Magnetic attraction separates magnetic materials like iron from a mixture, e.g., separating iron cans from aluminium cans
    • Chromatography is used to separate small amounts of chemicals based on their different attractions to the solvent and the stationary phase

    The Earth

    • The Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night
    • One rotation takes 24 hours
    • The Earth revolves around the sun, causing a year
    • One revolution takes 365.25 days
    • Earth is tilted on its axis causing seasons
    • Gravity is a force of attraction between objects
    • The sun's gravity keeps planets in orbit around it
    • The Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit around it, and keeps objects on the surface of the Earth
    • Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth
