    Study Notes

    Science and Technology

    • Water Filtration System: The most important factor for effective water filtration system design is the size of the filtration surface area.
    • Chemical Reaction Rate: Temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions, likely relating to enzyme activity or the speed of reactions.
    • Newton's Third Law: A rocket launching, gas expulsion from its engines, best illustrates Newton's Third Law.
    • Pendulum Period: Increasing the string length of a pendulum will increase its period.
    • Plant Growth and Light: To ensure valid results when studying light's effect on plant growth, keep factors like soil type and water amount constant.

    Social Studies

    • Downfall of Feudalism: The growth of trade and cities was a key factor in feudalism's decline in medieval Europe.
    • U.S. Constitution Principle: The president's power to veto legislation highlights the principle of separation of powers in the U.S. Constitution.
    • Manifest Destiny: Historians would use the concept of manifest destiny to explain the U.S. expansion during the 19th century.

    Fine Arts, Health and Fitness, Family and Consumer Science, and Career Development
