3. Newtonâs 3 Laws of Motion:
âș 1st law: A body at rest remains at rest and
a body in motion remains in motion until an
outside force acts on it (inertia)
âș 2nd law: A forces causes an object to
accelerate
âș 3rd law: For every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction
4. Kinetic Energy: energy in motion
âș Examples: jogging, an mp3 player playing
music
âș KE = Âœ mv2
ï§ m = mass
ï§ V=velocity
5. Potential Energy: stored energy
âș The ability of a system to do work due to its
position or internal structure
âș Examples: batteries, the food we eat, a
rock on a ledge, an expanded rubber band
âș Gravitational PE = m x g x h
ï§ M= mass g = gravity h=height
6. Law of Conservation of Energy:
âș Saysthat energy cannot be created or
destroyedâŠonly converted to another type
of energy
ï§ Example: chemical energy in food converting
into different types of energy
ï§ Example: Solar (sun) energy converts to
chemical energy during photosynthesis
ï§ Example: in an mp3âŠchemical energy in a
battery is converted into electrical energy that
powers the mp3, which becomes sound energy
7. Heat (a type of energy) can be
transferred in 3 waysâŠ
1. conduction: transfer of heat through a
solid object
Example: heating on stove
âș Convection: transfer of heat by liquid or
gas
example: currents in ocean waters,
earthâs mantle layers, steam from water
âș Radiation: transfer of heat by
electromagnetic waves
example: microwaves, x-rays, infrared
8. Chemical Properties:
âș Any change that produces a new substance
âș Examples:when copper corrodes and turns
green, when iron rusts, when something is
burned
9. Physical Change:
âșA change that does not create any new
substance.
âș Examples: phase changes of water, cutting
hair, creating mixture
12. Other terms in phase changes:
âș Freezing: when a liquid becomes a solid
âș Melting: when a solid changes to liquid to
allow molecules to move more freely
âș Evaporation: liquid becomes a gas;
molecules now moving rapidly
âș Condensation: gas becomes a liquid
(clouds)
âș Sublimation: Solid directly to a gas (dry ice)
âș Precipitation: clouds release water in
rain/snow
14. Atomic Structure
âș Matter: anything that takes up space
âș Atom: smallest particle of an element that
has all the properties of that element
ï§ Protons: positive (in nucleus)
ï§ Neutrons: no charge (in nucleus)
ï§ Electrons: negative (orbit nucleus)
âș Element:pure substance that cannot be
broken down into a simpler substance
15. Periodic Table
âș Atomic number: # of protons in an atom
ï§ Hydrogen: Atomic #1, so itâs the 1st element
âșMoving left to right, the elements go up in atomic
number on the periodic table
âș Top number: atomic #
âș Bottom number: atomic mass (protons &
neutrons)
16.
17. Bonds
âș Ionic bonds: form when one or more
valence electrons are transferred from one
atom to another, creating positive and
negative ions
âș Covalent bonds: some atoms complete
their outer shell by sharing these valence
electrons with other atoms
18. Wave Properties
âș Earthquake, water, and sound waves
require matter to travel through
âș Electromagnetic waves do not require
matter (light, radio, micro, x-rays)
19. âș Wavelength: the length of one complete
wavelength cycle
âș Amplitude: a measure of the energy a wave
carries (distance from crest to midline)
ï§ Larger the amplitudeâŠhigher the sound
âș Frequency: # of waves that pass a point in a
given amount of time
âș In phase: when 2 waves match (become larger
wave)
âș Out of phase: when 2 waves do not match up
(will cancel each other out)
21. Big Bang Theory:
âș Universewas created in one giant explosion
about 13.7 billion years ago
ï§ Galaxies are moving apart from central location
ï§ Red shift: the light most galaxies give off is
close to the red end of the spectrumâŠtherefore
the light energy is longer and the color is red as
they move out
22. How a star is formedâŠ
âș In space, dust & gas get pulled together by gravity
= nebula
âș this gravity produces heat, and nuclear fusion
occurs
Massive Star Cycle:
nebula-massive star-large red giant-supernova-
black hole or neutron star
Low mass star cycle:
nebula-star similar to sun-small red giant-white
dwarf-black dwarf
23. Tools

the Earthâs view (moon is between)
âș Lunar
eclipse: when Earth blocks our view
of moon (Earth is between)
28. Plate Techtonics
âș Theory that the Earthâs crust is made up of many plates
that are floating on top of the Earthâs mantle layer (which
is molten liquid rock)
ï§ Earthquake: when plates slide past each other,
creating friction
ï§ Mountains: when plates collide & push up
ï§ Magma: comes up between 2 plates or melt
through a soft crustal plate
ï§ Convection currents in mantle push plates
around, causing continents to drift and seafloors
to spread
29. Alfred Wegener
âș Proposed Continental Drift Theory (at one
time continents were all 1 land mass)
Fossils: a piece/trace of an organism that
was once alive (found in sedimentary rock)
*Oldest rock sediments will be on the bottom
30. Non-renewable resources
âș Fossil
fuels: gasoline, oil, coal
âș We can never replace or renew them
2 negatives:
1. They will eventually run out
2. They cause global warming
32. Global Warming
âș When heat is trapped, and causes the
planet to become warmer
âș Greenhouse effect: insulation layer that
allows some heat in, and other out

bottom!!
âș Only 10% of each level gets passed on
ï§ Where does the other 90% go?
âșLost as HEAT
46. Symbiosis
(aka symbiotic relationships)
1. mutualism: both organisms benefit
Ex: bee pollinating a flower
2. Commensalism: one benefits, other is not
harmed OR helped
Ex: birdâs nest in tree
3. Parasitism: one benefits, other is harmed
Ex: flea on dog
47. Natural Selection
âș When nature chooses the most favorable
variation
âș Those organisms that are the best for that
environment will survive and reproduce the
bestï
âș Ex: giraffes with tall food (only tall giraffes
survive and reproduce)
48. Photosynthesis
âș When plants convert light energy (sun) into
chemical energy (glucose=food)
âș Must take in carbon dioxide and release
oxygen!
âș Who does this? PLANTS
49. Cellular Respiration
âș Take in oxygen and breathe out carbon
dioxide
âș Who does this? ANIMALS & PLANTS
âș Together: both cycles need each other!!
ï§ Just opposites of each other
50. Cells: smallest functional unit of
organism

52. Plants vs. Animal Cells:
Only in plants:
âș Chloroplast: contains chlorophyll (green
pigment); photosynthesis occurs here
âș Cell walls: give plants support
53. DNA
âș Located on chromosomes
âș Shaped like double helix
âș DNA in specific spot on chromosome = gene
âș Virusesare not cells; they must inject DNA
into host in order to reproduce
ï§ Ex: flu and HIV
57. Mitosis vs. Meiosis
âș Mitosis: cell division that produces 2
identical daughter cells
âș Meiosis: cell division that produces 4
different daughter cells
ï§ Sperm/egg
ï§ Each have 23 chromosomes
ï§ When sperm + egg = 46 chromosomes
58. Genetics
âș Allele: one form of a gene
âș Dominant: trait is expressed if 1 there
âș Recessive: only expressed if 2 present
âș Homozygous: same (hh, BB)
âș Heterozygous: different (Hh, Bb)
59. Sex-linked traits
âș Male: XY
âș Female: XX
âș Males are more likely to get a sex-linked
disorder, for they only need 1 affected X to
have the disorder. Females would need 2
affected xâs to have the disorder (which is
less likely).
62. 2 kinds of nuclear energy
