  • Position a place where someone or something is located or been put
  • Motion is when a body is continuously changing it's position with respect to the frame of reference, then we say that the body is in motion.
  • distance is an amount of space between two things or people
  • direction a course along which someone or something move a lot
  • measurement the size, length, or amount of something, as established by measuring
  • SI or systeme international d'unites are; Kilometer(km), Centimeter(cm), Meter(m), Inch(in), Milligram(ml), Feet(ft)
  • meter scale a device used to measure the length of any item
  • Speed the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate
  • time the indefinite continued progress of existence and event in the past/present/and future
  • velocity is the speed in combination with the direction of motion of an object
  • light is a form of energy that can be seen when it interacts with matter
  • light waves that vibrate in the direction perpendicular to the direction of their motion are called transverse waves
  • light travels in straight lines. sometimes it bounces back into the direction of the source we call this reflection
  • refraction is produced when the light waves bounce off a surface
  • when light passes, from one material into a second material like mirror or water, the light path is either bent or reflected back
  • refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one material to another
  • diverging lenses a lense that diverges rays of light that are traveling parallel to its principal axis
  • laser light has a great deal of heat energy
  • conduction is the method of heat transfer that occurs through direct contact between particles within a substance
  • semi conductor a good material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator of heat and electricity
  • thermal conductivity the ability of a material to transfer heat
  • convection another way by which heat energy can be transferred
  • sound is a form of energy produced by vibrations that travel through a medium, such as water, or solids.
  • vibrations is a rapid back and forth movement of an object or a medium
  • conductors the material or substances which allow electricity to flow through them
  • heat is energy that is transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature
  • the molten zone acts as an electrical conductor with normal conductivity and heat is generated throughout its volume
  • electricity a type of energy that consists of the movement of electrons between two points when there is a potential difference between them, making it possible to generate what is known to be an electric current
  • electrical conductors; Silver, Gold, Copper, Steel, Sea water
  • electrical insulators; Rubber, Glass, Oil, Diamond, Dry wood
  • 1 centimeter is equals to 10 millimeters
  • 1 meter is equals to 100 centimeters
  • 1 kilometer is equals to 1000 meters
