CHAPTER 7 heat is a form of energy heat can be produced by the following ways:

o rubbing two objects togethero burning objectso electricity that runs through a

coiled wire heat causes solids, liquids and gases to

expand and contract differences between heat and temperature

Heat TemperatureA form of energy The degree of hotness

or coldness of a substance

Unit = Joule (J) Unit = Kelvins (K)

Heat flows in three different ways:

1. Conduction is the flow of heat through solid

2. Convection is the flow of heat through fluids such as in

gases and in liquids

3. Radiation is the transfer of heat through vacuum(Heat flows from hotter area to colder area)

Land breeze:

Sea breeze:

At night Sea is warmer than land Cool air from land flows to

the sea as land breeze

During day Land is warmer than the sea Less dense hot air on land rises Cool air from the sea flows

towards the land as sea breeze

than shiny objects

Gives out heat: A dull, dark surface, gives out heat better

than white shiny surface.

CHAPTER 6

Kinetic theory of gas gas particles move freely in all direction Gas particles collide with the wall of the

container and bounce back A force is exerted by the particles onto the

wall This force produces a pressure on the walls

of the container

Factors affecting Air pressure (AP)Volume Temperature

Volume ↑ = AP ↓ Temperature ↑ = AP ↑ Volume ↓ = AP ↑ Temperature ↓ = AP ↓

CHAPTER 7

FORCE Is an act of push and pull Cannot be seen EFFECT can be seen or felt Has magnitude and direction

TYPE OF FORCE Frictional force

o Occurs when two surface in contacto Always opposes the motion of the

objecto Acts in the opposite direction to

movemento Can slow down or stop moving object

Gravitational forceo Force that pull objects to the eartho Causes all objects to have weight

Electrostatic forceo Force of attraction or repulsion

between charged substanceo Enables charge substance to attract

neutral substance such as small pieces of paper

o Same charges repel each othero Different charges attract each other

Magnetic force

o Enables a magnet to attract magnetic substances like iron, nickel and cobalt

WORK Work is said to be done when a force moves

an object over a distance in the direction of the force

Equation for calculating work done:

POWER Power is the rate of doing work, which

means the amount of work done per unit time.

Power can be calculated using the equation:

CHAPTER 8

Vertebrates have1. Endoskeleton also known as internal skeleton Made up of bones and cartilage

Invertebrates have1. Exoskeleton Made of cuticle or calcium carbonate Examples animals: centipede, ant, crab

2. Hydrostatic skeleton Consist of a muscular wall which encloses a

body cavity that is filled with fluid This body fluid pressure gives support and

shape to the animal Examples animals: earthworm, leech,

jellyfish

SUPPORT SYSTEM IN PLANTSButtress Root thick and wide roots that grow from the stem

above the ground e.q: Angsana tree, durian tree

Prop roots Roots which grow from the stem or

branches E.q.: pandan plant, maize plant

Prickles An outgrouwth of the epidermis and can be

easily removed from the stem. E.q: Rose

Tendrils Curly string-like structures modified from

stems and leaves Curl and twine round parts of other plants or

objects to help the plant to climb E.q: Cucumber plant, bitter gourd, pumpkin

Stilt roots Roots that develop from the main stem and

grow into the ground for support. E.q: Mangrove tree (Bakau)

Clasping roots Roots that grip onto other plants or structure

to get support E.q: betel vine (sirih), orchid

Thorns (duri) Sharp modified branches that cannot be

easily removed Act as hooks to hold on to supports. E.q: Bouganvillea (Bunga Kertas)

CHAPTER 9

The point of equilibrium is the point where the whole weight of an

object appears to act on. It is also the point which an object can be

balanced on and it is present in all objects. It is also known as the centre of gravity of

the object

FACTORS AFFECTING THE STABILITY OF AN OBJECT

1. The position of the centre of gravity. the lower the centre of gravity, the more

stable the object

2. The base area The wider the base area, the more stable the

object

CHAPTER 10

LEVER is a simple machine makes work easier have 3 parts :

o F = Fulcrum

CLASSES OF LEVERNotice the middle part of the lever

L F E = 1st class

F L E = 2nd class

F E L = 3rd class

THE MOMENT OF FORCE The SI unit for moment of force

= Newton-metre (Nm) Formula for moment of force:

LEVER IN EQUILIBRIUM when a lever is in equilibrium, the sum of

the anticlockwise moments is equal to the sum of the clockwise moments.

The principle of moments can be represented by the following formula:
