Study Notes
Connecting Wires
- Connecting wires are usually covered with plastic coating to make the flow of current easier and the circuit safer, preventing wastage.
Magnetic Force
- The magnetic force of a bar magnet is strongest at the poles.
Magnetic Poles
- North poles repel other North poles, and attract South poles.
Magnetic Materials
- Materials that can attract iron, like nails, are called magnetic materials.
Natural Magnets
- Natural magnets (stones) that attract iron are called loadstones.
Force and Motion
- Force is the act of pushing or pulling a body.
- Motion is when a body changes position.
- Gravity is a force that pulls all objects towards Earth.
- Friction is a force that opposes motion when surfaces touch.
Simple Machines
- A simple machine makes work easier.
- Examples include levers, pulleys, inclined planes, and wheels and axles.
Earth's Resources
- Earth's resources include glass, which is made from sand.
- About 71% of Earth's surface is water.
- Recycling is important to conserve non-renewable resources.
Earth's Weather and Climate
- Weather is the daily condition of the environment at a location.
- Climate is the average weather conditions over a long period.
- Meteorology is the study of weather.
- Scientists who study weather are called meteorologists.
Measuring Instruments
- An anemometer measures wind speed.
- A rain gauge measures rainfall.
- A barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
- A thermometer measures temperature.
Energy Sources
- Renewable energy sources are those that can be replaced.
- Examples include solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.
- Non-renewable energy sources are those that cannot be replaced easily.
