1. Science Final Review Notes

2. Does it Float or Sink?

3. Solids Phase of matter in which matter has a definite shape and volumePhase of matter in which matter has a definite shape and volume Molecules (small round objects) are arranged and organized in “tightly packed” order

4. Liquids Phase of matter in which matter takes the shape of its container and has definite volumePhase of matter in which matter takes the shape of its container and has definite volume Molecules are moving slowly; not fast enough to overcome the attractions between them

5. Gases Phase in which matter changes in both volume and shapePhase in which matter changes in both volume and shape Molecules move very quickly and are able to break apart from one another

6. So How Do We Classify Them? How fast the molecules move!!!How fast the molecules move!!! SolidsLiquidsGasesPlasmas Molecules move slow and vibrate in place Move faster than solids and overcome some attraction Move fast and overcome all of attraction Move incredibly fast but break apart

7. Potential Energy – Stored energy Kinetic Energy – Energy of motion

8. Circuits Complete, closed path through which electric charges flowComplete, closed path through which electric charges flow Closed Open

9. Two Types of Circuits 1. Series: all parts are connected in one loop1. Series: all parts are connected in one loop

10. Types Of Circuits 2. Parallel: different loads are located on separate branches2. Parallel: different loads are located on separate branches

11. Types Of Waves 2 Types2 Types 1. Transverse Waves 2. Longitudinal Waves These two waves can be identified by the direction in which the particles of the medium vibrate compared with the direction in which the waves travel

12. Transverse Waves Transverse: waves that move acrossTransverse: waves that move across Particles in a transverse wave move across or perpendicular to the direction of the wave

13. Longitudinal Waves Longitudinal: the particles of a medium vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travelsLongitudinal: the particles of a medium vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels

14. Properties of Waves Amplitude: the maximum distance the wave vibrates from its rest positionAmplitude: the maximum distance the wave vibrates from its rest position Larger the amplitude = taller wave

15. What Does Amplitude Mean? Small Amplitude = low energySmall Amplitude = low energy Large Amplitude = high energyLarge Amplitude = high energy

16. Wavelength Wavelength: the distance between any two adjacent crests or compressionsWavelength: the distance between any two adjacent crests or compressions

17. Frequency Frequency: the number of waves produced in a given amount of timeFrequency: the number of waves produced in a given amount of time Expressed in Hertz

18. Newton’s Laws 1.An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an motion unless acted upon by an outside force outside force 2. Force = mass x acceleration 3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

19. The seven types of energy are:The seven types of energy are: Energy Heat Light Electrical MechanicalSound Nuclear Chemical

20. What Makes An Object Move? Force: a push or pull on an objectForce: a push or pull on an object Characteristics of Forces 1. Have size 2. Direction 40.0 Newtons 3. Units = Newtons

21. Law of Gravity What goes up must come down. Gravitational force increases with increased mass of the object or decreased distance between objects.

22. Law of Conservation of Energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy can only change form.

23. Levers A simple machine consisting of a bar that pivots at a fixed point Fulcrum: pivot point

24. Inclined Planes Simple machine that is a straight, slanted surfaceSimple machine that is a straight, slanted surface The longer an inclined plane is compared to its height, the greater the mechanical advantage

25. Wheel and Axle Consists of two circular objects of different sizesConsists of two circular objects of different sizes The wheel allows the individual to spin the axle easier 1 st Circular Object 2 nd Circular Object

26. Pulleys Consists of a grooved wheel that holds a rope or a cableConsists of a grooved wheel that holds a rope or a cable

27. Compound Machines Machines that are made of two or more simple machinesMachines that are made of two or more simple machines The more moving parts, the more mechanical advantage

28. What is Friction Then? o Friction: a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching There is NO SUCH THING as a completely smooth surface!!

29. Efficiency In Machine Machines can be made to be more efficientMachines can be made to be more efficient We do this by REDUCING… Lubricants: substances that are applied to surfaces to reduce friction between them

30. Physical Properties  Can be observed without changing what the object originally was EXAMPLES OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

31. Physical Changes  Changes in size, shape, or color (the object is still the same substance) EXAMPLES OF PHYSICAL CHANGES

32. Chemical Changes  Evident when we make a NEW SUBSTANCE!! EVIDENCE OF PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL CHANGES PHYSICAL CHANGES CHEMCIAL CHANGES SizeBubbling ShapeFlammable ColorDissolving/Dissolves

33. ** A WAY TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH SUBSTANCE YOU CAN DISSOLVE AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES** ** Match the temperature at the bottom with the grams of solute on the left side…where they meet is the solubility for that substance**

34. Electromagnetic Spectrum Name for the range of electromagnetic waves when they are placed in order of increasing frequency

35. Electromagnetic Spectrum Continued longWavelengthshort lowFrequencyhigh

36. Refraction Bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another Bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another

37. Reflection Allows us to see objects that do not produce their own light When light or any other waves bounces off an object When light or any other waves bounces off an object

38. Absorption and Scattering Absorption: the transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter Absorption: the transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter

39. Light and Color Color is produced by REFLECTION and ABSORPTION!!!! Color is produced by REFLECTION and ABSORPTION!!!! The colors that are REFLECTED are the colors that you can see!!!!!!

40. What Are Our Basic Colors? THE RAINBOW!!! THE RAINBOW!!! Meet ROY G. BIV ROYGBIV = RED = ORANGE = YELLOW = GREEN = BLUE = INDIGO = VIOLET
