Revision on the following topics​

​Topics:

• ​Carbon cycle

• Water cycle

• The periodic table

• Origins of the universe

• The atom​

• ​​Evaporation

  • when water molecules are heated , ​and change from liquid to gas molecules.

• Condensati​on

  • Where water molecules change from gas to liquid

• Perspiration

  • When clouds become to heavy, they release the stored water

• Transpiration​

  • When trees/plants release water into the atmosphere​

​

​The Water Cycle

Water Cycle Animation​

• ​Photosynthesis - plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen and glucose

• The plants are consumed by animals (this is called consumption)

  ​

• If the plant dies, it releases its nutrients into the soil (this is called decomposition)​

​

​Stages of the carbon cycle

​The Carbon Cycle

​

• Combustion - when fossil fuels (formed by dead plants) is burned to produce energy

​

• Respiration - when animals take in oxygen and glucose, and produce carbon dioxide and water vapor

​

Stages of the carbon cycle

The Carbon Cycle (continued)​

​

​We will also revise elements, compounds and molecules.

​​The atom

​What is a group? What is a period?

​​Periodic Table

​An atom is the smallest building block of all matter.

​A molecule is two or more atoms joined together chemically

Molecule​

​

​A compound is two or more different atoms joined together chemically

​​Compound

​MOLECULES VS COMPOUNDS

• ​Always the smaller number

• Tells us the number of protons (which is equal to the number of electrons) ​

The Atomic Number

• Always the larger number

• Tells us the number of protons and neutrons​

​​The Mass Number

​The Periodic Table

• ​The columns on the periodic table are arranged into groups.

  ​

• The Rows on the periodic table are called periods.

​

​The Arrangement of the Periodic Table

​

​The solar system consists of:

• 8 planets

  ​

• 1 Star (our sun)

  ​

• Space Dust (which forms stars over millions of years)​

​

​The Solar System

​

• Jupiter is the largest planet

  ​

• It has 79 moons!​

​Largest Planet

The smallest planet, Mercury, is also the closest to the sun.
