CIM Review

Elements and Periodic Table- Parts of Atom
- Parts of Periodic table (symbols, number, mass)
- elements vs. compounds
- stability- outer electron shells

Chemical reactions - rates - temp, conc., pressure
- catalysts
- Equations - balance
- recognize total number of atoms (NH₄ 1-Nitrogen 4-Hydrogen)
-Ions
-Stored energy -endothermic, exothermic


Force - F=ma - force moves an object in the direction of the net force.
- equal/opposite reaction
-orbital motion
-gravitational force

Waves - electromagnetic spectrum
- parts of a wave
- reading waves
- Using waves to explain earthquakes, spectral analysis, red shift, infrared sensing

Conservation of Energy - kinetic energy vs potential energy
- energy transfer - chem - nuclear - light - mechanical
- chemical equations

Cells - structure of cells in 6 kingdoms
- functions of specific organelles
- Transport - active/passive
- diffusion/osmosis
- permeability of membrane

DNA - double helix structure
- forms chromosomes
- Meiosis/Mitosis
- Punnett squares - probability
- pedigrees

Feedback - homeostasis

Structure Function - Cellular - cell walls, organelles
- system
- whole organism

Equilibrium - O₂ in blood - increased exercise = increased respiration rate

Ecosystems - energy flow
- human impact and modification - pollution, global warming

Natural Selection - adaptive vs. non-adaptive variation
- explains biologic evolution
- classification based on evolutionary relationships(phylogeny)

Ongoing Earth Evolution - plate movement w/ evidence
- cycles - CO₂, O₂, rock
- earth origin
- superposition/ relative age
- methods for determining age- rocks, fossils, radiometric
- origins of atmosphere
- rates of change - sudden - extremely slow

Energy Transfer and Climate- Heating and cooling as cause of winds and currents
- effects of cloud cover, rotation of earth and geography on global climate.
- affects of CO₂ and other gasses in energy capture.
- human impact on global climate.

Earth Position - tilt and orbits affect on seasons
- day length

Nature of Science - cause and effect
- variables and controls
- hypothesis
- data analysis
