Week 1 “Changes in the motion of objects”

=Motion- change in position of a body with time

Three Laws of Motion
-Law of Inertia(first)- will remain at rest
-Law of Acceleration(second)- directly proportional
-Law of Interaction(third)- there is an equal and opposite reaction

Week 2 “Balanced and Unbalanced”

=Balanced Force- if the forces acting on an object is equal

=Unbalanced Force- if the force acting on the object are unequal
=Up(+) Down(-) Right(+) Left(-)4

Week 3 “Factors affecting potential and kinetic energy)”

=Energy- ability to do work- Joules (J)

=Kinetic Energy- energy of a moving object- Kinetic Energy (KE)
=Potential Energy- energy at rest- Potential Energy (PE)

Week 4 “Effects of temperature to the speed of sound”

=Transverse Waves- travel in perpendicular

=Longitudinal Waves- travel in directional parallel
=Sounds Waves- composed of waves
=Sounds- produced when a vibration causes pressure- DECIBEL (dB)
=Wavelength- distance from one compression
=Frequency- you are able to determine the frequency
=Reflection- the turning backs
=Reverberation- occurs in a small room
=Echo- occur when a reflected sound wave reaches the ear 0.1 seconds
=Echo Sounding- (used by scientists)
=Echolocation- (used by dolphins or bats)
=Ultra sound- (used by scanning the womb)

Week 5 “Hierarchy of colors in relation to the visible light”

=Light- classified as an electromagnetic wave

=Refraction- bending light
=Dispersion- the separation of light into its different color
=Red- longest wavelength, least energetic, least harmful
=Violet- Shortest wavelength, most energetic, most harmful
The smaller the wavelength the higher the energy
The raindrops acts like a miniature prisms
=Light- travels much faster than sounds
=Color- perceptual quality of the light
=White Light- presence of ALL the color
combination of all the colors
=Black- absorb ALL the colors

Week 6 “Heat vs Temperature”

=Heat- energy in transit

transfer of energy
=Calorimeter- measuring the amount of heat
=Temperature- how hot or cold
=Thermometer- measuring temperature
=Thermal Energy- changes if heat is transferred
=Conduction- direct CONTANCT
=Convection- within the fluid or gas
=Radiation- does NOT require matter
=Change in Temperature- if heat is absorbed or given off its temperature changes
Absorb heat- temperature rises
Gives off heat- temperature lessen

Week 7 “Relationship between current and voltage’

=Circuit- arrangement of energy, connecting wires

=Open Circuit- current cannot flow
=Closed Circuit- electrical charges to flow
