Review 1.1 Forces
5
Forces Definition: –A force is an action that can change the motion of an object or deform the object by pushing or pulling on it Many different types of forces –A) Gravitational –B) Strong and Weak Nuclear Force –C) Electromagnetic Force
6
Forces A) Gravitational Force –Using the following formula, we can convert mass (kg) into Weight (N) using the gravitational constant Fg = mass (kg) * g –Each planet will have its own Gravitational Constant
7
Forces B) Strong and Weak Nuclear Force –Forces found in the nucleus of the atom –Strong = glue that keeps the nucleus together –Weak = force responsible for beta radiation C) Electromagnetic Force –Force Resulting from the attraction or repulsion of charges or poles
8
Forces in Fluids Pressure : Force / surface area 3 Main principles: –Archimedes An object submerged in water experiences a buoyancy force equal to the weight of water it displaces –Pascal Force applied on a fluid is transmitted uniformly in all direction –Bernoulli The faster the fluid the less pressure Explain the lift of Air Planes

Review 1.2 Chemical Changes
10
Chemical Changes Signs of a chemical change –Release of gas –Emission or absorption of heat/light –Color change –Formation of a precipitate
11
Chemical Changes Types of chemical Changes –Synthesis –Decomposition –Precipitation –Acid-Base neutralization –A) Oxidation –B) Combustion
12
Chemical Changes A) Oxidation –Chemical Change in which Oxygen (or an oxidizing agent) is a reagent (before the arrow) B) Combustion –Form of oxidation that releases a large amount of energy

Review 1.3: Electricity, Magnetism, Electromagnetism
15
Electricity Electricity: –All phenomena caused by positive and negative charges Negatively charged object (more e- than p+) Positively charged object (more p+ than e-) Neutral object (same amount of p+ and e-) –Attraction and Repulsion Like charges repel Opposite charges attract
16
Electricity Characteristics of a circuit –Intensity –Potential Difference –Resistance V= RI –Where V = Potential Difference in Volts R = Resistance in Ohms I = Intensity in Amperes
17
Electricity –Energy –Electrical Power –Work E = W E = Pe *∆t –Where E = Energy (J or kWh) Pe = Electrical Power (W or kW) ∆ t = time interval (s or h)
18
Magnetism Magnetism: –All phenomena caused by magnets A magnet is an object that can attract other objects containing iron, cobalt or nickel
19
Magnetism Have you ever noticed? –It doesn’t matter which part of the magnet you bring to iron, it will always attract to a magnet. –Why? Iron is made up of small polarized regions called domains. Each of these act like a small magnet. When you magnetize the iron, the domains align to be attracted to the magnet. Remember opposites attract
20
Magnetism Attraction and Repulsion –Opposites attract –Like poles repel
21
Electromagnetism Electromagnetism: –All phenomena resulting from the interaction between electricity and magnetism. –Right Hand rules: Live Wire –Thumb points to the negative terminal –Fingers show the direction of the magnetic field
22
Electromagnetism Right Hand rule –Solenoids (a cylindrical coil of live wire) You fingers follow the coil and point towards the negative terminal Your thumb indicates the magnetic North
23
Electromagnetism How can you tell what is the negative terminal? –In the circuit drawings the negative terminal will either be identified with a – Or… –In the following symbol the shorter terminal is the negative one
24
Electromagnetism You can generate an electrical field by… –Moving a conductor in a magnetic field –Moving a magnet around a conductor
25
Review 1.4 Circuit Design
26
Circuit Design Types of electrical circuits A.Series circuit Definition: –Circuit that contains only one branch or path for the electrons to follow. Characteristics –If one element is defective, the electricity does not flow –The intensity is the same all around the circuit –The resistance adds up
27
Circuit Design B.Parallel circuit Definition –Circuit that contains at least one branch or paths for the electrons to follow. Characteristics –If an element is defective, the elements on that particular branch will stop working only –Resistance is shared (so resistance is lower) –Current intensity adds up
28
Circuit Design Common symbols
29
Electrical oddities A circuit must be closed in order to allow the energy to flow A light will only light up when the electrons complete a full circuit (one side of the power source to another)
30
Review 4.3 Electrical Engineering
31
Circuits in general Every circuit whether found in electronics or in electrical appliances requires components with similar electrical functions (role of the component): 1. Power supply 2. Conductors, insulators and protectors 3. A control 4. Transformation of energy
32
1. Power Supply Definition: –Any component that has the ability (electrical function) to generate electrical current in a circuit –There can be many types of power supplies: Batteries Solar Panel Wall Socket Alternators (etc.)
33
2. Conduction, Insulation, Control a)Conduction Definition: Any component that has the ability (electrical function) to conduct electricity E.g. wires, printed circuits b)Insulation: Definition: Any component that has the ability (electrical function) to inhibit the flow of electricity
34
2. Conduction, Insulation, Control c) Protection: Definition: Any component that has the ability (electrical function) to protect the circuit from a surcharge or short circuit E.g fuse and breakers
35
3. Controls Definition: –Any component that has the ability (electrical function) to control the travel of electrical current (is the circuit open or closed) **** A closed circuit allows the electricity to flow, while an open circuit does not –Types of switches Lever, Pushbutton, Flip-Flop, Magnetic controller
36
Transformation of energy Definition: –Any component that has the ability (electrical function) to convert electrical energy into another form of energy. –E.g Heating element Light bulb Fan
37
Review 2.1 Hydrosphere
38
Hydrosphere Water sheds: –Area of land in which al inland waters drain into the same larger body of water –Please do not forget that a contaminant entering the river will flow with the water. –So anything up river of the disaster will not be affect in the same matter as down river
39
Review 2.2 Atmosphere
40
The Weather Makers Combination of air masses: –Air masses do not mix, Instead they will create a front –A cold front: When cold air meets warmer air The warm less dense air rises rapidly Causing major storms –A warm front: When warm air meets colder air The warm less dense air rises slowly Causing many days of light rain
41
The Weather Makers Anticyclone: –Area of atmospheric circulation surrounding a High pressure center (H). Air turns clockwise Cyclone: –Area of atmosphere circulation surrounding a Low pressure center (L). Air turns counterclockwise.
42
Tides Tidal Facts –High tides occur twice a day –High tides occur when the moon is directly above (highest of the tides) and is directly opposite (smaller high tide) –The tide size varies during the day –The tides are created mainly by the moon but also by the Sun
43
Review 3.1: Ecosystems
44
2. Ecosystems Definition: –how living things interact with their surroundings (both living and nonliving components) –This leads us to the concept of Trophic Levels
45
a) Trophic levels Trophic level: –The feeding connections among living organisms in an ecosystem (a food chain)
46
a) Trophic Levels i) Producers –Create organic matter from inorganic matter (water, minerals, sunlight) of the ecosystem –In other words they are autotrophs; they can feed themselves without consuming others
47
a) Trophic Levels Ii) Consumers –Heterotrophic organisms that feed on other living organisms –Different degrees of consumers 1 st order: eats the producer directly 2 nd order: eats the 1 st order who ate the producer 3 rd order: eats the 2 nd order who are the 1 st order who ate …. Well you get the picture
48
a) Trophic Levels Iii)Decomposers: –Organisms that feed on the waste and remains of other living organisms
49
More definitions Primary productivity of an ecosystem –Definition: The amount of new biomass generated by the ecosystems producers –Factors: Amount of water Amount of light Amount of nutrients Temperature
50
Ecosystems Disturbances
51
Definition: –Event that damages an ecosystem. It can lead to the elimination of organisms and alter the availability of resources. Types: –Natural Disturbances Triggered by environmental phenomena –E.g. ice storm –Human Disturbances Triggered by human activities –E.g. logging
