- Laws of Motion:
  - Newton's First Law: An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon.
  - Newton's Second Law: Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).
  - Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Wave Properties: Includes wavelength, frequency, amplitude; examples include sound and light waves.
- Thermodynamics: Study of heat transfer and energy conversions; laws include conservation of energy.

Chemistry

Definition: The study of matter, its properties, composition, structure, and changes it undergoes.
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.
Evolution refers to the gradual changes in species driven by natural selection and genetic drift over time.
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.
