What is the scientific method? Scientific Method involves a series of steps that are used to investigate a natural occurrence.
Problem/question a question or problem that can be solved through experimentation.
Observation/Research Make observations and research your topic of interest.
Hypothesis: try and predict the answer
Experiment: make and create a procedure.
Collect and Analyze Results modify the results and try and make it better
Conclusion conclude your topic
What is Matter? matter is what make up all of the universe
Properties of Matter Color
white, green.
Hardness
hard, soft.
Texture
smooth, rough, slippery.
crystal, powder.
Shape
square, no shape.
State of Matter
solid, liquid, gas
Temperature
by observation only!
hot, cold.
Kinds of Matter Elements
Compounds
Mixtures
Compounds are two or more objects chemically combined
Mixture a mixture is a add of two or more substances
Solutions are Some mixtures involve solids being dissolved in a liquid
Physical Properties can be changes without changing the composition of matter
states of matter
appearance (size, shape, color)
texture
smell
density
a change in matter which makes one or more substances.
examples of chemical changes:cooking an egg
a nail rusting
burning wood
fireworks
Examples:combustibility, reactivity with oxygen, flammability and reactivity with acids
A physical change is a change where the form of matter is not changed
Physical change examples Changing the state of matter
the size the temperature and the shape
Example Calcium and chlorine react to produce calcium chloride
ACID a compound which dissolves into water to produce hydrogen ions
PROPERTIES OF ACIDS: Sour taste
React with some metals to produce H2
Electrolytes
BASE
A compound that dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions
PROPERTIES OF BASES: Bitter taste
Slippery and soapy to the touch
Electrolytes
Parts of an Atom Nucleus: the center of the atom
Orbitals (shells): the shells are around the atoms
Ionic bonding or electrovalence Like a magnet - uses positive and negative charge to attract.
Elements elements cannot be broken down into smaller kinds of matter.
Orbital
A three dimensional region around a nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron
What is an ion? Ion: a charged atom or molecule (+ or -)
Cation: positive ion
Anion: negative ion
Why do ions form? atoms tend to lose ,gain and share to fill there valence shell
a compound formed by two atoms that are of different elements
Groups of atoms that are stable and have a net charge
you multiply coefficients with subscripts
parentheses If elements or compounds are inside of then everything behind the subscripts count inside
Common Indicators
Red litmus paper,Blue litmus paper, pH paper and Cabbage Juice
Typer of microscopes Light Microscope are models found in most schools.
Stereoscope This microscope allows for two eyes viewing of larger specimens.
Scanning Electron Microscope allows scientists to view a universe too small to be seen with a light microscope
goes through Electron Microscope also uses electrons, but instead of scanning the surface electrons are passed through very small specimens.
Microscope Viewing Field the view can be changed from the microscope
Why do cells divide? ells divide because when you skin your knee, cells divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells.
How do cells divide? Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei.
interphase cell grows to its mature size, makes a copy of its DNA, and prepares to divide into two cells.
Prophase Chromosomes and Spindle Fibers Appear
Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes.
Metaphase Chromosomes Line Along Equator
The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
Anaphase Chromosomes Split and Move to Opposite Ends
The centromeres split and the two chromatids separate.
Telophase Cytoplasm Begins to Divide
The chromosomes begin to stretch.
Cytokinesis Cytoplasm Divides The cell membrane pinches in around the middle of the cell.
What is a specialized Cell? Plants and animals consist of many cells and so are known as multicellular.
Palisade Cell Designed for Photosynthesis
Red Blood Cell Designed to carry oxygen
Found in blood.
the digestive system breaks down food
Salivary Glands breaks down starch into sugars
Esophagus moves food to the stomach
Stomach Lining Mucus prevents stomach from digesting itself
Pancreas breaks down fat
Small Intestine breaks down nutrients
Large Intestine reabsorbs water, contains bacteria to aid in digestion
main parts Heart,
Vessels, and Blood
blood can be separated into 3 layers
White Blood Cells protects from bacteria
Platelets helps damaged blood cells
Blood Vessels 3 main parts - arteries
- veins
- capillaries
Arteries large vessels with a small diameter
Veins large small wall vessels with a large diameter
Capillaries large vessels
Two cell types Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes No Nucleus
No Membrane bound organelles.
Eukaryotes Have a nucleus
Have membrane bound organelles
the 2 Main Types of Eukaryotic Cells plant cell and animal cell
Cell Membrane
Surrounds the cell and decides what comes in and out
Nucleus Control center of the cell
Stores DNA
Ribosome Smallest organelle
NOT surrounded by a membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough ER: covered with ribosomes; site of protein synthesis
Smooth ER: NO ribosomes; it makes hormones & lipids
Golgi Apparatus Delivery system of the cell
Mitochondria Powerhouse” of the cell
Site of cellular respiration
Canadian Cancer Statistics show that 1 in 4 deaths are due to cancer
Cancer can develop anywhere in the body, and at any age.
What is Cancer? Benign (non-cancerous)
Does not spread; though it can eventually become malignant in some cases.
Malignant (cancerous)
Has the potential to spread to other parts of body.
Secondary Tumors To form a secondary tumour, a tumour cell needs to leave the vessel system.
Cancer treatment Three basic treatments: surgery to remove the tumor, and radiation or chemicals chemotherapy to kill actively dividing cells.
Xrays Most common medical imaging.
Fluorscopy Technique using a continuous beam of x-rays to show the movement of organs.
Radiotherapy Radiotherapy is the use of x-rays to treat cancer.
X-rays damage the DNA of the cancer cells, either killing them or preventing them from multiplying.
CT-scans Also known as computer assisted tomography scans (CAT scans).
How is the body organized? Each specific cell is grouped with other cells similar in structure and function to form tissues
