  • All living things are made of cells
  • Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things.
  • Cells can only be seen using a microscope
  • Cytoplasm
    Nuclease
    Cell membrane
    Cellulose cell wall
    Mitochondrion
    Permanent vacuole
    Chloropast
  • Nuclease: brain of cell
  • Cytoplasm: where cell reactions take place
  • Cell membrane: controls what enters and leaves the cell.
  • Mitochondrion: powerhouse of cell
  • Cell wall: strength and support of cell
  • Chloropast: allows plant cells to make food by photosynthesis.
  • Vacuole: allows plant cells to store water, nutrients etc
  • A tissue is a group of cells working together to do something.
  • An organ is a number of tissues that work together to do one of more things.
  • Universe: vast area of space infinitely expanding.
  • Astronomy: study of universe and everything inside
  • 14 billion years ago the entire universe was inside a ball that was smaller than the size of a pinhead
  • The big bang:T
    1.The entire universe is the size of a pin head and extremely hot and dense.
    2.within a second the universe grew to an unimaginable size.
  • Moon: natural satellite of a planet, orbits a planet.
  • Moons reflect the stars light.
  • Asteroid: small rocky body orbiting the sun.
  • Comet: ice and dust ball that orbits the sun.
  • Gravity: an attractive force that acts between all objects with mass, strength of gravity depends on the mass of the object and how close it is.
  • A planet must:
    Orbit a star
    Rounded due to gravity
    Clears it's own path
  • Terrestrial planets: Rocky planets.
  • Jovian planets: gas giants.
  • Dwarf planets: eenie meenie tiny planets
  • The earth revolves around the sun and rotates on it's axis.
  • Solar eclipse: when the moon blocks out the sun .
  • Lunar eclipse: when the earth blocks out the sun.
  • The moon affects how tides are.
  • Solution: mixture of two things chemically bound
  • Mixture: mixture of two things not chemically bound.
  • Solubility: ability to be dissolved in water, changes due to temperature or mixing.
  • Filtration: a method of separating an insoluble solid from a liquid using a material that lets the liquid pass but not solid.
  • Residue: stuff that's left
    Filtrate: what you filtered
  • Evaporation: the changing of a liquid to a gas at the surface of a liquid.
  • What if we want to keep the gas after evaporation?
    Distillation is a method of condensing water vapour back into water.
  • The universal solvent is water
  • Paper chromatography: method of separating mixtures of substances in solution. The solvent in which the substances are dissolved is passed along a length of paper and the dissolved substances separate out on the paper.
  • Toxic: substances can cause death if swallowed, breathed in it absorbed through the skin.
