    Study Notes

    Physics

    • Physics studies matter, motion, behaviour through space and time, and concepts like energy and force.
    • Branches include classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics (relativity, quantum mechanics).
    • Classical mechanics uses Newton's laws and energy conservation for macroscopic objects.
    • Thermodynamics relates heat, work, and other energy forms.
    • Electromagnetism describes electric and magnetic interactions.
    • Optics studies light behaviour (reflection, refraction, diffraction).
    • Modern physics explores atomic and subatomic phenomena (quantum mechanics, relativity).
    • Fundamental forces are gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear forces.
    • Key concepts include motion, force, energy, momentum, and angular momentum.
    • Mathematics is crucial for describing and analyzing physical phenomena.

    Chemistry

    • Chemistry investigates matter's composition, properties, and reactions.
    • It examines atoms, molecules, and their interactions.
    • Key branches are organic (carbon compounds), inorganic (non-carbon), physical (chemical processes), analytical (identifying matter), and biochemistry (biological processes).
    • Atoms, molecules, ions and their properties are vital.
    • Chemical bonding (ionic, covalent, metallic) explains how atoms link.
    • Chemical reactions involve changes in substance composition through bond breaking/forming.
    • Stoichiometry measures reactants and products in reactions.
    • Acids, bases, and salts affect reactions and pH.
    • Solutions (homogenous mixtures) are important.
    • Chemical kinetics studies reaction rates, and equilibrium describes final states.

    Biology

    • Biology studies life and living organisms.
    • Topics include cell structure/function, genetics, evolution, ecology, and life diversity.
    • Cell biology analyses the fundamentals of the cell.
    • Molecular biology studies biological molecules.
    • Genetics investigates heredity and variation.
    • Evolutionary biology explores life's development and diversity.
    • Ecology studies organism-environment interactions.
    • Physiology examines physical/chemical processes within organisms.
    • Organismal biology examines individual organism structure/function.
    • Life diversity encompasses prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and many species.
    • Key biological processes involve metabolism, reproduction, development, and adaptation.
    • The scientific method is used in biological research.
