Particles will gain more kinetic energy and move apart
Diffusion
When you put food coloring in water it will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
A substance will diffuse faster in Warm water than Cold water
Compression
Only gas can be compressed
Density
Units
Kg per cubic meter
g per cubic centimeter
How to measure it
To find Density you have to divide mass by volume
If an object is irregularly shaped you can use a Eureka can
To find Density using a Eureka can
Find the mass
Find the volume of the water that flowed into the beaker
Divide the mass by the volume
Energy & Fuels

Oil
Nuclear Power
1Kg of Nuclear Fuel stores as much energy as 25 tonnes of Coal
Infinite
Renewable Resources
Solar Power
Wind Power
Geothermal Power
Tidal Energy
Wave Power
Reproduction
Types
Asexual
Genetically Identical to Parent
Commonly found in Plants
Sexual
Male
The male carries the sperm
The sperm are kept outside of the body to make them develop correctly
The male's penis becomes errect when he becomes excited
Takes Both genetic information from parents
Commonly found in animals
Meiosis occurs when the normal chromosome number is reduced from 46 to 23
From sperm and egg
Each carry 23 Chromosomes
Female
The female carries the egg
The egg is kept inside the body to help the baby to form in the uterus
The female creates a lubricant that causes the vagina to become slippery and easy for the penis to slide in
Solutions
The solid phase is called the solute
If a solid is insoluble it means it cannot dissolve
The liquid phase is called the solvent
Saturated solutions
A saturated solution is a solvent that can no longer dissolve the solute
For example if you add potassium nitrate to water it will dissolve but if you add too much it cannot be dissolved anymore because the solution is saturated, hence the name
Force & Motion
Newton's laws of motion
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion
continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force
Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being
accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object)
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Speed
How to calculate it
Divide distance by time
e.g. 100kph
100 kilometers
1 hour
100 divided by 1 = 100
Momentum
Depending on the weight of an object
Means that the heavier an object is, the faster it will travel downhill and slow down
Air Resistance
The more air particles that are pushed at an object the more quickly an object slows down
Friction is one of the main forces that slows things down
You are on the Highway in a car
The road is made of glossed wood
The road is made of carpet
It will take longer for you to slow down on the wood because it isn't as rough as the carpet and the friction isn't as strong
Variation & Classification
Variation
Continuous
e.g. height, shoe size, hand span, weight
These characteristics will always be different in different people
Means things will always be different
Discontinuous
e.g. tongue rollers, blood groups, sex and ear lobes
These characteristics are either present or absent
Discontinuous Variation means things can only be present or absent
The 2 main factors that cause variation are genetic and environmental
Classification
Main groups called kingdoms
Animals
Vertebrates
Birds
Characteristics
Have feathers
Warm Blooded
Lay eggs
Amphibians
Characteristics
Wet Skin
Live on land and water
Cold Blooded
Lay eggs in water
Reptiles
Characteristics
Cold Blooded
Scales
Lay Eggs
Fish
Characteristics
Covered in Scales
Cold Blooded
Absorb oxygen through gills
Mammals
Characteristics
Hair
Warm Blooded
Suckle Young
Have a Placenta
Invertebrates
Plants
Fungi
Single celled organisms with nuclear membranes are called Protocytists
Single celled organisms without nuclear membranes are called Prokaryotes
Acids,Alkalis and Salts
Acids
Are tested with Universal Indicator Paper and Litmus Paper
If Blue Litmus Paper Turns Red It means the Liquid you are testing is Acidic
Most foods are acidic
Most acids are edible some aren't
For Example HCL, H2So4, HNO3, HF, HBr, HL, H2S, H3Po4 and HCLO3
Alkalis
Are tested with Universal Indicator Paper and Litmus Paper
If Red Litmus Paper turns blue it means the Liquid you are testing is Alkali
No edible material or anything that won't harm you severely is Alkali
Salts
How to create a salt
Add some acid to a Petri dish
Add the same amount of alkali to the same Petri dish
Let the solution evaporate
A salt of the corresponding acid and alkali will appear
e.g. Potassium Nitrate, Cobalt Chloride, Copper Sulphate and Sodium Chloride
Universal Indicator Paper
Is more precise than Litmus Paper
It tells you what the pH of a Liquid is
You must compare the color on the paper to the chart
