 Building Blocks   
1 All l things are c out of t ‘building blocks’ called
c . The first c to be discovered were box-like, which is why
they are now called ‘cells’.
2 A cell is the s part of an o considered to be alive.
3 Cells are usually very small, and most can only be seen with the
aid of a m . Even so, cells are built out of thousands of
different types of m .
4 Organisms are classified as:
a) u if they are made of a single cell only, e.g. bacteria
b) m if they are made of many cells, e.g. p and animals.
 Specialised Building Blocks

 Absorbing Water   
1 Important functions of roots include a the plant in the anchorage
ground, absorbing m from the soil, and a water

2 To i the amount of w absorbed, the r
system spreads out widely through the s .
3 Each root has fi h (see diagram opposite) near its
t , which are projections from root c .
4 M of root hairs on the root system provide a large
H2O
s a for a water molecules from the soil.
5 The m (outer surfaces) of root hairs are p and allow w
m to or leave the root cells.
Diffusion and Osmosis
1 Plants use a process called o to get soil w to move into their root h .

an a , which is part of a male sex o . The female gametes ( ) of flowering
plants are found inside an o , which is part of a f sex organ.
4 Pollen grains need to be moved from the m organ of one flower to the f
organ of another flower. This event is called p .
5 If the pollen comes from the flowers on the same plant then -fertilisation
occurs. If the pollen comes from the flowers on another plant of the same s ,
then -pollination occurs. Cross-pollination helps ensure d amongst the
o , which contributes to the s of the species when conditions c .
6 Some plants will p themselves if cross-pollination does not occur. This
produces offspring that are g identical to the parent plant and e other.
 Pollinating Agents and Flowers   

1 Plants cannot m , so the pollen grains containing the m gametes must be

from one flower to another requires an a such as the w , i or b .
2 Flowers a pollinating animals by releasing a s , which sends a signal over a
wide a . They also produce c petals to indicate w the flower is, and
offer n to f the pollinating agent.
3 As the pollinating animal feeds, pollen is b off the anthers onto the animal’s
b . The animal moves to another flower, where some of the pollen may be brushed
onto the top to the f organ (stigma).
4 Some flowers have special s . This allows only one type of animal to p it,
which increases the c of pollen being transferred to a plant of the s species.

 Wasting Energy   
1 When an energy change occurs inside an appliance (or device) the o energy is
transformed into d energy f . For example, electrical energy is changed
into light and thermal energy by a lamp.
2 Some of the original energy becomes u energy utilised for the
p of the appliance, e.g. lighting a room, but the rest of the energy
is often w , e.g. the h produced by a light bulb.
3 According to the Law of Energy Conservation:
Energy I = Energy O
As the energy output consists of the useful energy and the waste energy,
the formula can be changed to:
Energy Input = U Energy + W Energy
4 To save energy (and costs), designers are keen to design appliances that produce the
m amount of useful energy by r the amount of wasted energy. The
energy e of an appliance can be measured using this formula:

Note Notemaking Worksheet Unit 11: Thermal Energy
 Hot and Cold   

1 Objects are made up of p called a or m , which are groups of atoms.
The particles can all v but some particles can also rotate and move about.
2 These particles vibrate according to how much t energy they have.
3 The particles of a hot object will vibrate much f than the
particles of a cold object. A hot object has more t energy
than a c object.
4 Supplying thermal energy to an object or substance will cause the
p to vibrate more r . They will gain more k energy.
5 If an object or substance loses t energy, then the p will vibrate more
s . They will l kinetic energy.
6 So the a of thermal energy an object possesses is r to how much kinetic
energy all of its p have.
7 Sensory cells in your s are able to sense how r the particles of an object are

Note Notemaking Worksheet Unit 12: Heat Transfer
 From Hot and Cold   

1 Heat can only be transferred from a h object to a c one.
2 As heat is t , the colder object becomes w and the hotter object
becomes c . Eventually both objects will reach the same t , unless one
object is receiving heat energy from another s .
3 ‘Cold’ cannot be a . When you have the sensation of feeling cold, it is because
you are l heat energy to the colder e around you.
4 A refrigerator makes objects c by transferring h from the objects to an
even c coolant liquid.
5 Heat transfer from hotter objects to colder objects occurs in one of t ways:
•C of heat along a s object from atom to atom.

Heat Transfer
Methods of
•C currents transfer heat through l and g .
•R of heat w away from hot objects.
6 When objects or substances gain heat energy their particles will move f .
 Conduction of Heat   
1 Conduction is the heat t process involved when a poker heats up in a fi or
the bottom of a pot on a stove e heats up.
2 Heat conduction occurs mostly in s . Heat energy travels from the h end of
the object a to the colder end.
3 In a solid the particles (atoms) are in fi positions. They can only v .
4 The more thermal energy the atoms in a solid gain, the faster they v . This
vibrating action affects n particles, which begin to vibrate f as well,
thus transferring h .
5 So heat travels from the hot end to the cold end of a solid by energetic p
jostling their l energetic neighbours, thus giving them extra h energy.

 Thermal Conductors and Insulators   
1 A t conductor is an object or substance that conducts heat w .
2 M are good thermal conductors because they conduct heat r away from
the h end of the metal to the c end.
3 The outer e of metal a are free to

5 Poor heat conductors are called thermal i .
 Convection of Heat    c h
particles particles
1 Convection is the t of t energy by c .
2 Convection currents occur in heated l , where the
particles (m ) are f to move about. (They also
occur in g .)
3 When a liquid is heated the particles move f and
s further apart. The heated liquid becomes less
d than the surrounding c liquid, so the lighter
heated liquid fl upwards. Cooler denser liquid s warmer cooler
and takes the place of the heated liquid. lighter heavier
liquid liquid
4 This rising of l h liquid and sinking of h rises sinks
c liquid causes c currents to occur in the
body of water (or gas).
 Radiation of Heat   
1 Both heat c and c can only occur through a medium of some sort
(e.g. air, water or a metal).
2 Radiation or r energy involves
rapidly v electromagnetic waves
that travel the s of light.
3 These waves can travel through different m , but they do need a medium
to travel. Radiant heat from the s travels all the way to Earth through s .
4 Heat radiation travels as i -r waves, which are i to our eyes, but we can
sense their effect on our s as it w up.
5 Infra-red waves r out from a h object (e.g. a bar heater) until they
hit another object (e.g. our skin). If the object a the radiant energy its
t will rise.
6 Other forms of radiant energy include m ,l waves, r waves, T
waves, u -v waves as well as -rays. These different types of radiant energy
form the el m sp .

 Light and Energy   

1 Light is the type of r energy that i the world for us
because our eyes are very sensitive light energy d .
2 Objects which give off their o light rays (e.g. the sun, a candle or a
light bulb) are called light s .
3 We can see other objects that are not light sources (e.g. the moon or
an image on a movie screen) when light r from a source b off
them and then e our eyes.
4 If light rays r (bounce) off an object (e.g. a mirror) in a r
way, then the object is called a r . The s surface of the
mirror reflects the light rays in a regular way that allows us to see an
i of the o light source.
5 Most objects have i surfaces and reflected light rays do form an image.
6 Light can be considered to be r that travel in a s line, but light actually
travels as energy w .
 Waves of Energy   
1 Light rays travel a from a light s
as e waves.
2 Light waves are formed by rapidly v el and m fields, so they
are called e m waves.
3 Light waves travel extremely f at the speed of l . They s out from the
light source heading away in all d .
4 There are other types of electromagnetic waves, including r waves, T waves,
m ,i -r (heat) waves, u -v waves, -rays and g rays.
5 The distance between wave crests is called the wavelength. The different types of
electromagnetic w have different w , but they all travel at the s
of light.
6 Together these different types of e
w make up the electromagnetic spectrum. The
colours of the r make up the v part of
that spectrum.
 Light Rays   
1 As of light waves travelling in the same
direction, such as the one shown above, is called a
light r .
2 A light ray can be represented by a s line with
an a at one end showing the direction in which the
light is travelling away from the s or r .
3 A ray of l light is a very concentrated, narrow

beam of light waves, all of the same c .

Even inside the curved fibre optic cable shown opposite
light t in a straight line, b off the walls.
2 Light waves are able to t through the v of outer
space. They travel from the sun to E through space.
3 Light w travel at 300 000 k per second
through s . Waves going this fast are said to be
travelling at the s of l .
4 Light can also travel through a , w and g . Each of these substances is called
am . Light waves can also travel when there is medium, such as in s .
5 Light waves travel more s in media such as air, water and glass, but still v fast.
 Light and Shadows   

1 As is an area that light rays reach because an o object is b
their pathway.
2 If the light source is s relative to the object b the light, then a s shadow
with a clearly defined edge is formed behind the object. This is called the u .
3 If the light source is l relative to the object blocking the l , then a partial
s forms around the outside of the umbra. This is the p .
4 The moon does produce its own light, which is why it is only lit on the side f

when the moon is w or waning.
5 A solar eclipse is when the sun’s l is blocked off. This occurs when part of Earth’s

 Reflecting Surfaces and Images   

1 When light rays hit the surface of an object or substance there are three effects.
a) The light rays may be a by the surface.
b) The light rays may be transmitted t the object or substance.
c) The light rays may be r off the surface.
2 The light rays that strike an object or substance
are called i rays.
3 The light rays that bounce off the surface of an i ray r ray

2 An i is a view of an object at a place o than where
it actually is. Images occur when you look at an object using a m or through a
l .
3 An image is said to be r if it can be focused on a s placed where the image
appears to be. For example, the image produced by a m projector is real because
it can be focused on the screen.
4 An image is said to be v if it can be f on a screen placed where the
image appears to be. For example, the image seen in a
mirror appears to be behind the mirror, but image will
form on a screen p behind the mirror, so the image is
a virtual one.

Types of Matter  
1 Matter is the stuff that all physical o or s are made out of. Matter
occupies s and will have m .
2 Albert Einstein, in his famous f , E = mc2, proposed that matter and e
were really the same thing. M is just a very concentrated form of energy.
3 Matter can be v (e.g. a rock) or invisible (e.g. ). Some pieces of matter, like
a lump of i , can be held, but other sorts of matter are more difficult to hold on to
such as m .
4 S classify the everyday forms of matter that we encounter into t
states of matter: s ,l and g .

Explaining the Properties of Solids, Liquids and Gases   

1 Ice, liquid water and steam are all different forms of w , but they have very
different physical p . (Physical properties are those that don’t involve
c reactions.) Scientists have sought an explanation of this in terms of the
p that make up matter and how these particles are a .
2 This explanation has come to be known as the p theory of m and it very
successfully e the properties of the different s of matter. Keep in mind
though that the particles involved are incredibly s and cannot be s individually.

1 Scientists believe that matter (except some forms that are found inside certain
stars) is made up of e small particles called a .

Melting and Freezing   

1 The three states of matter are s ,l and g . When a substance is heated

2 These states of matter occur at fi temperatures s to the substance
involved, e.g. warming ice melts at °C and heated water boils at °C.
3 During a change of state, even though heat is being g or l , the temperature
of the substance will remain c , e.g. boiling water r at 100°C even
though the element is still h it.
4 If enough heat is applied to a solid substance it will eventually start to m .

From a Liquid to a Gas and Back Again   
1 B and e are two ways that a liquid can change into a g .
a) Water boiling in the jug opposite:
• requires m heat energy
• occurs when the Boiling Point temperature is r
•r changes a liquid into a gas
• involves gas b forming in the liquid and r to the surface.
b) Water evaporating from the coffee cup opposite:
• needs l heat energy than boiling does
• occurs at temperatures b the Boiling Point
•s changes a liquid into a gas
• occurs when particles e from the liquid to form a v .
2 When heat energy is added to a liquid, its temperature will r until a certain
temperature is reached. Its temperature will then remain c while it b . This
boiling is a r change from a l to a gas state. It occurs at a fi temperature
called the B Point or , e.g. water boils at °C to produce s .
3 A liquid will slowly change from a liquid to a g state if it is left in an o container.
This process occurs at r temperature and it is called e .
4 In evaporation individual p in the liquid state gain sufficient h energy from
neighbouring particles to e from the s of the liquid to become g
particles. When water evaporates it forms w v .
5 Gas particles cool by l heat energy. If they cool sufficiently they will change
back into l droplets. This process is called c .
6 Condensation can occur rapidly to c steam at the C Point of water
( °C). Water vapour in the a will also condense when it l heat to a c
object, e.g. water vapour clouding a m in a bathroom.
Sublimation   
1 Some substances (e.g. dry ice) do have a liquid state, but change straight from a
s to a g state when heated to a certain t .
2 S is the name of the c directly from a solid to a gas.
Summary of Changes of State   

• Changes of state are r as they only involve h or c .
• Changes in state are related to the p gaining or losing h energy.

4 For particles to s moving altogether they would need to be c to a

5 How particles move depends on three factors.
a) The e of the particles – the more energy particles have, the f they move.
b) The m of the particles – the h the particles, the more slowly they move.
c) The f of attraction between particles – the s the forces between

 Evidence for Particles in Motion   
1 Evidence that m is made of extremely s particles in constant m comes
from two sources:
a) B motion - the r movement of small v particles (e.g. fine dust

b) D - the s out of concentrated p (e.g. when a bottle of
perfume is opened and the perfume molecules spread out so that they can be

2 Neither of these two events would occur if the particles (m ) were not in

The Solar System   

p s o
1 The Solar System consists of the s and
n other large spheres called p .
The planets hurtle through s around
the much more m sun.
2 The sun is actually a s . Other stars
have their planets as well.
3 Earth is one of the nine p that make up the S System.
The Sun   
s
1 The sun is only a m -sized star, but this star is a fl
still a h ball with a d of 1.4 million kilometres.
2 Our star is mostly made of incredibly hy and
he gases.
3 The sun’s g causes the gases to form a s .
4 N reactions occur inside the sun as h gas
is changed into h gas. This releases vast amounts
of h energy, which keeps the i temperature of
the sun as high as 14 °C.
5 The s temperature of the sun is about °C. The photo shows a s flare
occurring on the surface of the s .
6 R energy streams out in directions away from the sun. This energy b
the planets. We experience it as s and h from the sun.
 The Planets   
1 Satellites are h bodies that orbit l bodies. The planets are n
satellites that travel at h speed around the s .
2 All of the planets are s because of the g attraction between the
p making up the planet, particularly when the planet is in a g or l state.
3 Some planets are in a g state, some are in a s state, and one (N ) is in
a liquid state. Only Earth has a solid c , liquid o and a gaseous a .
4 Earth is the t largest planet in size after the gas giants J and S .
5 The planets travel in o around the sun, but at different d away. Earth is
the t closest plant after M and V .
6 The time taken for a planet p pl
to complete orbit around s o
the sun is called its p .
7 The d from the sun
affects how much h

Staying in Orbit   
1 The planets have all moved in r orbits around the s for
several b years.
2 The planets hurtle forward at h speed and would continue on in a s line
heading out of the Solar System if a f did not restrain them.
3 The pull of the sun’s g forces the planets to travel in c paths.

1 The s is our nearest star, but all stars are like the sun.
2 Up to stars can be seen on a clear night away from
city lights. Many more can be seen with a l telescope.
3 As distances between stars are v , astronomers use
units called L Y (LY) to measure star distances. A
light year is the distance l w travel in o year.
A galaxy of stars
4 Light travels at 300,000 k per s in space, so
the distance light would travel in one year can be calculated:
Seconds in one year = days x hours x minutes x seconds = 31,536,000 s
1 Light Year = km/s x s = 9,000,000,000,000 km approximately
5 The next nearest star is P Centauri, which is LY or 40,000,000,000,000
