Looks Like
Gas
Have NO Definite Shape or Volume
Looks Like
Plasma
For Example:
A balloon expands and pops when it is
heated.
A balloon contracts and gets smaller when it
is cooled.
Boyles Law
The volume of gas increases as the
pressure decreases
Example: Piston
Lifting the Plunger Decreases the Pressure
Pushing the Plunger Increases the Pressure

Density * Volume
Density Stackers
Many liquid mixtures will stack up into
layers by their densities
Example:

Physical Properties
Physically describe an object based upon
observable and measurable observations
Examples:
COLOR Density Solubility
Mass Malleability Texture
Volume Temperature State
Weight Ductility Melting
Boiling
Melting Point &
Boiling Point
Each Substance has its own Melting &
Boiling Points that are always the same
temperature regardless of the size
Particle Motion &
Temperature Increases
Melting- the change from a solid
to a liquid
Adding energy

There are more than 100 elements on the
periodic table that make up ALL things (5)

Atomic Theory
Democritus- Proposes the Atom 440 B.C.
Charge: Positive
Mass:1 amu
Location: Nucleus
Proton count determines the element
Protons = atomic number
Neutrons
Charge: none
Mass: 1 amu
Location: Nucleus
*To find the neutrons: atomic mass atomic
number
Electrons
Charge: Negative
He Chemical Symbol
Elements

Mixtures
A combination of two or more substances
that are not chemically combined.
Solid Formation
Color Change
Energy Change
Chemical Formulas & Equations
A chemical formula uses symbols and
numbers to represent a compound
Speed * Time
Velocity
Speed an object travels in a given direction
Elastic Electromagnetic
Energy
the ability to do work
Work occurs when an
object moves in the
direction of the applied
force
Energy, like work, is measured in
joules (J).
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conduction :occurs
when energy is
passed directly from
one item to another
Convection
Convection : movement of
gases or liquids from a
cooler spot to a warmer
spot.
Examples- Air Masses,
Earths Mantle; Ocean
Convection : movement of FLUIDS
(GAS OR LIQUID)
from a cooler spot to a warmer spot.
WIND
EARTH
BOILING
Radiation :The sun's rays
travel in straight lines called heat
rays. When sunlight hits the
earth, its radiation is absorbed or
reflected.
Topographic
Maps show the
elevation of an
area of land using
contour lines.
Earths Structure
The Layers of the Earth
WIND
EARTH
BOILING
Radiation :The sun's rays
travel in straight lines called heat
rays. When sunlight hits the
earth, its radiation is absorbed or
reflected.
Plant Evidence
The Changing Surface
In addition to plate tectonics, Earths
surface is ever changing due to:
Earthquakes
Volcanoes
Weathering, Erosion & Deposition
Earthquakes occur when Earths
plates shift and cause shaking on
the surface
Most Earthquakes occur at Plate
Boundaries
A Tsunami is a tidal wave in the
ocean caused by tectonic
(Earthquake) movement of
Earths plates.
Most volcanoes form at plate boundaries
Lunar Phases
The Moon appears to go through a complete set of
phases as viewed from the Earth because of its motion
around the Earth, as illustrated in the following figure.

Structure and Function of Cells
Cells are the basic units
of life.
All living things are made
of cells.
Cells are very small and
can only be seen with a
microscope.
Cells
Unlike Plants
Cells, Animal
Cells do not
contain: Cell
Wall &
Chloroplasts.
Cellular Functions
Cells function similar to living
organisms:
Extracting Energy from Food
Disposing of Waste
Reproduction (Mitosis)
Heredity
All living things have traits.
Traits are stored in chromosomes.
These are passed on from one
generation to the next in genes.
Human cells contain about 30,000
different genes on 23 different
chromosomes.
Punnett Squares show
possible inheritance.
Reproduction
There are 2 types of reproduction:
Organs
Systems
Systems in Living Things
The Human Bodys Major Systems:
Digestion: Food Energy
Respiration: Breathing
Reproduction: Population
Circulation: Blood Flow
Excretion: Waste
Immune: Protection from Disease
Movement, Control, Coordination:
Moving, Thinking, Planning, Processing
Classification of Organisms
Classification is the arrangement of
organisms into orderly groups based on
their similarities.
Hint:
Levels: King----Kingdom
Kingdom- large general group Philip---Phylum
Phylum- Came--Classes
Kingdoms are
Classes- continuously Over----Orders
broken down
Orders- into classified For------Families
groups until
Families- species Grape--Genus
Soda---Species
Genus-
Species- one kind
Kingdoms
Plantae Protista
All living organisms belong to one of the
kingdoms
There are five Kingdoms:
1. Bacteria- E. coli,
2. Protista- single-celled organisms
3. Plantae- plants, flowers & trees Animalia
4. Fungi- fungus, mold & mushrooms
5. Animalia- animals, people, pets, bugs
Fungi
Bacteria
Evolution & Biodiversity
Evolution: organisms adapt and change
over time
Evidence: geology, fossils, comparative
anatomy
Extinctions: many species have not been
able to adapt to habitat changes over time
Survival of the fittest
