    • Components: Protons, Neutrons (nucleus), Electrons (orbiting).
    • Atomic Number: Number of protons in the nucleus.
    • Mass Number: Total number of protons and neutrons.

    3. Motion

    • Types: Uniform (constant speed) and Non-uniform (varying speed).
    • Concepts: Distance, Displacement, Speed, Velocity, Acceleration.
    • Newton’s Laws:
      1. Law of Inertia
      2. F = ma (Force = mass × acceleration)
      3. Action-Reaction pairs.

    4. Force and Laws of Motion

    • Definition of Force: Push or pull that changes motion.
    • Gravity: Universal force attracting objects toward one another.

    5. Work and Energy

    • Work: Product of force and displacement (W = F × d).
    • Energy: Capacity to do work.
      • Forms: Kinetic (due to motion), Potential (due to position).

    6. Human Eye and Optical Instruments

    • Parts of the Eye: Cornea, Lens, Retina.
    • Vision Process: Light enters the eye, focused by lens, image formed on retina.
    • Vision Defects: Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), Astigmatism.

    7. Natural Resources

    • Types: Renewable (solar, wind, hydro) and Non-renewable (coal, petroleum, natural gas).
    • Conservation: Importance and methods of conserving resources.

    8. The Universe

    • Components: Stars, Planets, Galaxies.
    • Solar System: Sun, 8 planets, moons, asteroids, comets.
    • Theories of Origin: Big Bang Theory.

    9. Environment

    • Ecosystem: Interaction of living organisms with their environment.
    • Biodiversity: Variety of life in different ecosystems.
    • Pollution: Types (air, water, soil) and prevention measures.

    10. Classification of Organisms

    • Taxonomy: Science of classification.
    • Five Kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.
    • Binomial Nomenclature: Naming organisms with genus and species.

    11. Chemical Reactions

    • Types: Combination, Decomposition, Displacement, Redox.
    • Signs of Chemical Reactions: Color change, gas formation, precipitate, temperature change.

    12. Sound

    • Definition: Vibration that travels through a medium.
    • Properties: Frequency (pitch), Amplitude (loudness), Speed.
    • Applications: Communication, music, medical imaging (ultrasound).

    Study Tips

    • Focus on understanding concepts rather than rote memorization.
    • Use diagrams to visualize physical structures (like atoms or ecosystems).
    • Practice numerical problems related to motion, force, and energy.
    • Review past test papers for common question formats.

    Matter

    • Anything that has mass and takes up space
    • Exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas
    • Properties include mass, volume, and density

    Structure of the Atom

    • Composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons
    • Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus
    • Electrons orbit the nucleus
    • Atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus
    • Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons

    Motion

    • Uniform motion involves constant speed
    • Non-uniform motion involves varying speed
    • Key concepts include distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration
    • Newton's Laws of Motion:
      • Law of Inertia: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force.
      • F = ma: Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration.
      • Action-Reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Force and Laws of Motion

    • Force is a push or pull that can change an object's motion.
    • Gravity is a universal force attracting all objects towards each other.

    Work and Energy

    • Work is the product of force and displacement, represented by W = F × d.
    • Energy is the capacity to do work.
    • Forms of energy include kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (due to position).

    Human Eye and Optical Instruments

    • Important parts of the eye include the cornea, lens, and retina.
    • Light enters the eye, is focused by the lens, and forms an image on the retina.
    • Vision defects include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

    Natural Resources

    • Renewable resources are those that can be replenished naturally, such as solar, wind, and hydro.
    • Non-renewable resources are those that cannot be replaced on a human timescale, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
    • Conservation of natural resources is crucial and can be achieved through various methods.

    The Universe

    • The universe consists of stars, planets, and galaxies.
    • The Solar System includes the Sun, eight planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
    • The Big Bang Theory is a prominent model explaining the origin of the universe.

    Environment

    • An ecosystem is the interaction between living organisms and their environment.
    • Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in different ecosystems.
    • Pollution, including air, water, and soil pollution, poses significant threats to the environment.

    Classification of Organisms

    • Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms.
    • The five-kingdom classification system includes Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
    • Binomial Nomenclature uses a genus and species name to uniquely identify each organism.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions can be classified into combination, decomposition, displacement, and redox reactions.
    • Signs of chemical reactions include color change, gas formation, precipitate formation, and temperature change.

    Sound

    • Sound is a vibration that travels through a medium.
    • Key properties of sound include frequency (pitch), amplitude (loudness), and speed.
    • Sound has applications in communication, music, and medical imaging (ultrasound).

    Study Tips

    • Focus on understanding concepts, not just memorization.
    • Use diagrams to visualize physical structures and processes.
    • Practice numerical problems related to motion, force, and energy.
    • Review past test papers to understand common question formats.
