    • Key Concepts:
      • Atoms and Molecules: Basic building blocks of matter; atoms combine to form molecules.
      • Periodic Table: Organizes elements based on atomic number and properties; groups and periods indicate trends.
      • Chemical Reactions: Processes that transform reactants into products; involves breaking and forming bonds.
      • Acids and Bases:
        • Acids: Substances that donate protons (H+ ions).
        • Bases: Substances that accept protons or produce hydroxide ions (OH-).
      • Stoichiometry: Calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on balanced equations.

    Biology

    • Definition: The study of living organisms, their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution.
    • Key Concepts:
      • Cell Theory: All living organisms are composed of cells, the basic unit of life.
      • Genetics: Study of heredity and variation; involves genes, DNA, and inheritance patterns.
      • Evolution: Process by which species change over time through natural selection and genetic drift.
      • Ecology: Study of interactions between organisms and their environment; includes ecosystems, food webs, and biomes.
      • Physiology: Study of the functions and mechanisms in living systems; covers systems such as circulatory, respiratory, and nervous.

    Physics

    • Study of matter, energy, and their interactions.
    • Forces are characterized as pushes or pulls, with gravity and friction being primary examples.
    • Energy exists in various forms, including kinetic (motion), potential (stored), and thermal (heat).
    • Newton's Laws of Motion:
      • First Law: Objects remain in their state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.
      • Second Law: Force exerted on an object is equal to mass times acceleration (F=ma).
      • Third Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
    • Wave properties include wavelength, frequency, and amplitude, observed in sound and light waves.
    • Thermodynamics explores heat transfer and energy transformations, governed by the conservation of energy principle.

    Chemistry

    • Focuses on the properties, composition, structure, and changes of matter.
    • Atoms are fundamental units, combining to form molecules which constitute all matter.
    • The Periodic Table categorizes elements by atomic number; trends are discernible in groups (columns) and periods (rows).
    • Chemical reactions involve the reconfiguration of atoms through bond breaking and forming.
    • Acids are defined as proton donors (H+ ions), while bases are proton acceptors or produce hydroxide ions (OH-).
    • Stoichiometry involves quantitative analysis of reactants and products based on the balancing of chemical equations.

    Biology

    • Examines living organisms, their structure, function, evolution, and ecological interactions.
    • Cell Theory posits that all living organisms consist of cells, which serve as the fundamental units of life.
    • Genetics focuses on heredity and variation, encompassing the study of genes and DNA inheritance patterns.

    • Ecology investigates the relationships among organisms and their environments, including ecosystems and food webs.
    • Physiology delves into biological functions and processes, covering systems like the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems.

    Biology

    • Cell Theory emphasizes that all living organisms are made up of cells, which serve as the fundamental unit of life; new cells emerge only from pre-existing cells.
    • DNA is identified as the genetic material responsible for heredity, with genes functioning as individual units of inheritance.
    • Mendelian inheritance describes how traits are passed through dominant and recessive alleles, explaining variations in phenotype.
    • Evolution, introduced by Charles Darwin, is driven by natural selection, where species gradually adapt to their environments over generations.
    • Ecology investigates the interactions among organisms and between them and their environments, highlighting biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components in ecosystems.
    • Energy transfer within ecosystems occurs through food chains and webs, illustrating how energy flows from producers to consumers.

    Chemistry

    • Atomic Structure reveals that atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons; the nucleus houses protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit this nucleus.
    • The Periodic Table organizes elements in ascending order of atomic number, grouping elements with similar chemical properties in columns and indicating electron energy levels in rows.
    • Chemical Bonds:
      • Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, leading to the formation of charged ions.
      • Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons, resulting in strong molecular connections.
      • Metallic bonds feature a sea of delocalized electrons that can move freely among metal atoms, contributing to properties like electrical conductivity.
    • Different types of Reactions include:
      • Synthesis: combining elements to form a compound.
      • Decomposition: breaking down compounds into simpler substances.
      • Single replacement: one element replaces another in a compound.
      • Double replacement: two compounds exchange elements.
      • Combustion: a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy.
    • The Law of Conservation of Mass stipulates that in a closed system, mass is not created or destroyed during chemical reactions.

    Physics

    • Classical Mechanics, primarily defined by Newton's Laws of Motion, explains how forces affect the movement of objects, incorporating concepts such as velocity, acceleration, and momentum.
    • Thermodynamics is governed by fundamental laws that dictate energy behavior:
      • The First Law asserts that energy cannot be created or annihilated, only transformed.
      • The Second Law states that the entropy within an isolated system will always increase over time, indicating a tendency towards disorder.
    • Electromagnetism focuses on the relationship between electric charges and their respective fields; electric fields arise from static charges, while moving charges create magnetic fields.
    • Maxwell's equations provide the framework for understanding the interdependence of electric and magnetic fields.
    • Waves are characterized as energy transmitters characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed, with light exhibiting dual behavior as both a wave and a particle (wave-particle duality).
    • Key optical phenomena include reflection (bouncing of light), refraction (bending of light), and diffraction (spreading of light), which illustrate the behavior of light in various contexts.
