Science Class Notes: Introduction to Physics and Biology

Physics Section: The Study of Matter and Energy

Physics explains how objects move, forces act, and energy transforms.

Key Concepts in Physics:

Force: A push or pull on an object (measured in Newtons, ).

Formula: (Force = mass × acceleration)

Energy:

Kinetic Energy (KE): Energy of motion:

KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

PE = mgh

Newton’s Laws of Motion:


1. An object stays at rest or moves at constant speed unless acted upon
by an external force.

2. Force equals mass times acceleration:

3. For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

Biology Section: Understanding Life

Biology is the study of living organisms. Let’s explore the basics!

Cell Theory:

1. All living things are made of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of life.


3. All cells come from pre-existing cells.

Photosynthesis:

Plants use sunlight to make food:

6CO_2 + 6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

Human Body Systems:

Circulatory System: Transports oxygen and nutrients through the blood.

Respiratory System: Takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

Digestive System: Breaks down food into energy.

Nervous System: Controls bodily functions and responses.
