Study Notes
Scientific Method
- A scientific investigative question should be in the format: "What is the effect of increasing/decreasing the [variable] on the [outcome]?"
- Examples of scientific questions:
- What is the effect of increasing the amount you stretch a rubber band on the amount it stretches the next time you stretch it?
- What is the effect of increasing the amount of air going into the trumpet on the pitch it makes?
- What is the effect of decreasing the amount of wicks lit on the seed that the candle melts?
Variables
- Independent variables (IV): factors that are intentionally changed by the experimenter
- Dependent variables (DV): factors that are measured in response to the independent variable
- Controlled variables (CV): factors that are kept constant to ensure a fair test
- Examples of variables:
- IV: light intensity, driving speed, frequency of teeth brushing
- DV: pupil size, gasoline consumption, amount of plaque buildup
- CV: distance from the light source, type of vehicle, brand of toothpaste
Experimentation
- Jim's experiment: growing plants with and without red light to test the effect of red light on plant growth
- Control group: plants not exposed to red light
- Independent variable: red light
- Dependent variable: plant height
- Conclusion: red light does not necessarily cause plants to grow faster, but a larger sample size may be needed to draw a reliable conclusion
Science 9
Astronomy
- Definitions:
- Satellite: a celestial object that orbits a planet or star
- Moon phase: the different shapes of the moon as seen from Earth, caused by the changing angle of light from the sun
- Star: a giant ball of hot, glowing gas that produces its own light and heat
- Sunspots: dark, cooler areas on the sun's surface
- Solar prominence: a large, bright loop of gas that extends outward from the sun's surface
- Solar flare: a sudden release of energy from the sun's surface
- Magnitude: a measure of the brightness of a star or other celestial object
- Light spectra: the pattern of colors produced when light is separated by a prism
- Reflecting telescope: a telescope that uses a curved mirror to focus light
- Refracting telescope: a telescope that uses a curved lens to focus light
Matter
- Definition: anything that has mass and takes up space
- Examples of matter: solid, liquid, gas
Physical and Chemical Changes
- Physical changes: changes in state or form, but not in composition
- Examples: ice melting, chopping a carrot
- Chemical changes: changes in composition, resulting in a new substance
- Examples: burning a match, frying an egg
Elements
- Charged elements: elements with a positive or negative charge
- Examples: Magnesium (Mg+2), Cesium ( Cs+)
- Bohr model: a representation of an atom's structure, including protons, neutrons, and electrons
- Examples: Neon, Magnesium, Fluorine
Compounds
- Coefficients and subscripts: numbers used to describe the number of atoms in a compound
- Examples: Na₂CO₃, 3BaCl₂, 4Al₂(CO₃)₃
Electric Charges
- Laws of electric charges:
- Like charges repel each other
- Opposite charges attract each other
- Charged objects attract neutral objects
- Examples of electric charges:
- Balloons: like charges repel, opposite charges attract
Electricity
- Voltage, resistance, and current: related by the formula V = R x I
- Examples of electricity:
- Calculating voltage: V = 3 x 30 = 90
- Calculating current: I = 12 / 36 = 0.33
Mitosis
- Stages of mitosis:
- Interphase: DNA replication, nucleus, centrioles
- Prophase: centrioles, chromosomes
- Metaphase: spindle fibers, metaphase plate
- Anaphase: chromosomes, cell elongation
- Telophase: nuclear reformation
- Cytokinesis: cell division
Cell Theory
- Three points of the cell theory:
- All living things are made up of cells
- Cells are the basic units of life
- All cells come from pre-existing cells
Genetics
- Genotypes and phenotypes:
- Genotype: genetic makeup
- Phenotype: physical characteristic
- Examples of genetics:
- Purple flowers: Pp (hybrid dominant)
- Hairy knuckles: HH (pure dominant), Hh (hybrid dominant)
- Bobtail in cats: tt (pure recessive)
Genetics Problems
- Punnett squares:
- Example: dogs with grey and black fur
- Percent of possible genotypes and phenotypes
- Genotypes and phenotypes:
- Example: fruit flies with red and white eyes
- Percent of possible genotypes and phenotypes
