Physical Quantities and Their Units

Let’s learn • Identify and use the correct units for different physical quantities. • Identify the symbols and values of prefixes used in measurement. • Convert base quantity units for mass, length and time such as grams to kilograms, centimetres to metres, seconds to hours and vice versa. • Justify the importance of the use of S.I. units in daily life.

Recall the measurements that you have learned in primary school. A physical quantity in science is defined as a physical characteristic that can be measured. The common base quantities used are length, mass, time, temperature and electric current (Table 1.2).

Table 1.2 Base quantities

Base quantity Length Mass Time Temperature Electric current

S.I. unit metre kilogram second kelvin ampere

The International System of Units, known as S.I. units (Système Internationale d’Unités) is used for the consistency of measurement. This allows accurate exchange of data and scientific knowledge to the entire world.

1.5

Symbol of S.I. unit m kg s K A

S.I. units have been used as the standard unit of physical quantities since 1960 to prevent problems of inconsistent units in measurement.

Aim: To identify physical quantities, values and S.I. units Instruction 1. Look at the objects in Photograph 1.10. State the S.I. unit that you can use to measure the physical quantity of each object. (a) (b) (c)

The Importance of S.I. units in Life Inconsistencies of units used in daily life may cause a lot of problems. For example, people in certain places may measure things by using pound and ounce, whereas people in other places may use grain and stone. The use of a standard unit for measurement will make it easier for scientists to communicate at international level. Problems shown in the situations below may arise if we do not use standard units.

Recall the measurements that you have learned in primary school such as span, fathom, pace and cubit. (a) Span

(b) Fathom

(c) Pace

(d) Cubit

Okay, mother.

Uncle, I want to buy three fathoms of cloth to make a curtain. 40 paces

Teacher, why do we have different number of paces?

51 paces

They are different because the length of your paces are different.

Mother, why is the cloth so long?

Syura, your fathom is shorter because you are still a child.

Measuring Length

Vernier Calipers Vernier calipers is used to measure the thickness or outer diameter, inner diameter and depth of an object. The smallest division of the reading of a vernier calipers is 0.01 cm or 0.1 mm. Therefore, vernier calipers is much more accurate compared to a ruler which can only measure the smallest reading up to 0.1 cm or 1 mm. Main scale

Systematic errors are caused by using measuring instruments that are not accurate. For example, zero error that occurs on the measuring instruments, the error of the person who takes the measurement or environmental factors. Zero error can be determined when the jaws of the vernier calipers are closed.

To determine the positive zero error, the error has to be read from the “0” mark on the vernier scale. To determine the negative zero error, the error has to be read from the “10” mark on the vernier scale.

To obtain the actual reading, zero error has to be taken into consideration. Actual reading = Reading of vernier calipers – zero error

How to Minimise Systematic Errors and Random Errors Errors Systematic errors

Random errors

Consistent errors obtained from a measuring instrument for every measurement. Examples: • Zero error • Inaccurate measuring instrument

The uncertainties in measurement caused by the observer when taking measurements. Examples: • Parallax error • Carelessness of observer when taking the reading • Wrong technique

Ways to overcome: • Conduct experiments with caution • Repeat the experiment using different measuring instruments

Ways to overcome: • Take a few readings of measurement and take the average reading • To reduce the impact of parallax errors, observer’s eyes should be perpendicular to the scale reading

Making an Estimation before Taking the Actual Measurement When a proper measuring instrument is not available during an experiment, the best way is to make an estimation beforehand. Later, a precise and accurate measuring instrument will be used.

Density

Let’s learn • • • • • •

Arrange materials sequentially based on their density. Predict whether the materials will float or sink according to their density. Define the operational definition of density. Calculate density using the formula (density = mass / volume) and water displacement method. Explain the phenomena related to density differences in everyday life. Innovate objects, food or beverage using the concept of density.

Look at the picture. Why do people float on the Dead Sea easily? This is because the Dead Sea has an extremely high salt content. This makes the waters of the Dead Sea higher in density compared to other seas. What is density? Density of a material is the mass per unit volume of the material. Photograph 1.25 The density of water in the Dead Sea is extremely high and can make people float easily 28

Recall the information that you have learned in primary school. Materials that are less dense will float and will be above the materials which are denser whereas materials which are denser will sink and will be under the materials which are less dense (Figure 1.24). For example, ice will float on water surface and stones will sink to the bottom. Table 1.4 Density of various materials

Scientific Method Scientific method is a systematic method used to solve problems in science. This method consists of a few important steps to enable a problem to be solved or explained using the correct method.

1

Identify a problem – Identify a problem that could be tested with a scientific investigation.

2

Construct a hypothesis – We need to build a hypothesis as an initial explanation of the observation or phenomenon being investigated. The hypothesis has to be tested.

3

Control variables – Identify the type of variables involved. Variables are physical quantities that influence the observation or scientific phenomena and it consists of manipulated variables, constant variables and responding variables.

4

Plan an experiment – We have to design an experiment carefully beforehand. We also need to choose the right materials and apparatus for the experiment.

5

Conduct the experiment – While conducting the experiment, precautions must be practised at all times to obtain a more accurate data. Safety measures must also be followed to prevent accidents. Let’s test your hypothesis.

Collect data – Data collection is carried out carefully using suitable instruments while taking into consideration any random or systematic error that might occur. Make sure the measurements are carried out at least three times to obtain a more accurate and precise reading. Use a table to record your data.

7

Analyse and interpret data – Analysis must be accompanied by effective communication forms such as graphs and tables. Graphs and tables assist us to easily interpret the data.

What is a Cell? This house is built of bricks. Each brick is the basic unit of the house. The same applies to living things. Living things are composed of basic units called cells.

Oh, our bodies are made up of cells. Who was the first person to discover the cell?

In 1665, an English scientist named Robert Hooke invented a simple microscope to observe a piece of cork. He saw lots of small box-shaped structures within the cork. Therefore, he named the structures as cells.

Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis

2.2 Let’s learn • • • •

Communicate about the process of cell respiration. Communicate about the process of photosynthesis. Differentiate the process of cell respiration and photosynthesis. Explain how the process of cell respiration and photosynthesis complement each other.

What is Respiration?

Respiration can be divided into external respiration (breathing) and internal respiration (cell respiration). Breathing involves exchange of gases between the organism and environment whereas cell respiration is the oxidation process and break down of glucose that occur inside living cells to release energy.

Cell Respiration Cell respiration is the process of breaking down food to release energy. The energy released will be used for all life processes that occur inside the body. Cell respiration requires oxygen and glucose to produce energy, carbon dioxide and water. Glucose

+ Oxygen → Carbon dioxide

+ + Water Energy



Chapter Bab 2

Photosynthesis Plants make their own food through photosynthesis. Food made by plants is kept in the form of glucose known as starch. Therefore, the presence of starch in leaves shows the occurrence of photosynthesis. What are the requirements for photosynthesis? Light energy, carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll are needed for photosynthesis. Before investigating the requirements for photosynthesis (Experiment 2.1 to 2.4), we need to know how to carry out a test to identify the presence of starch in a leaf first. Test for the presence of starch

Homeostasis in Living Things

Let’s learn • • • •

Communicate about meaning of homeostasis. Explain with examples the systems involved with homeostasis in humans and animals. Explain with examples the systems involved in plant homeostasis. Appreciate the importance of homeostasis in humans and living things.

W

hat is meant by homeostasis? Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of the internal environment in the body of an organism, such as temperature, water, pH and blood pressure to be in a balanced and stable condition. The maintenance of the internal environment in the body of an organism in a balanced and stable condition, allows all living processes in the body of the organism to work well. If the internal conditions are not balanced, for example the temperature is too high, the cells of the organism may die.

Homeostasis comes from two Greek words, ‘homeo’ meaning ‘similar’ and ‘stasis’ meaning ‘stable’.

Homeostasis in Humans Have you ever used an oven? Do you know that a thermostat is used to control the temperature of an oven? If the thermostat detects the temperature of the oven is too high, the heating function in the oven will switch off and the temperature will decrease. If the thermostat detects the temperature of the oven is too low, the heating function in the oven will switch on to increase the temperature.



Photograph 3.1 Thermostat of an oven

The same goes to our body which has a mechanism that can regulate body temperature, water content and others to be in a balanced and stable condition.



Photograph 3.2 Homeostasis in our body allows processes in the body to function efficiently 72

Bab 3 3 Chapter

Homeostatic Control Process When the internal environment in our body such as the body temperature increases, the control centre at the brain will detect the changes. A corrective mechanism will then take place and the temperature will reduce to its normal range. When the body temperature decreases, a corrective mechanism will take place and the temperature will rise to its normal range (Figure 3.1). Control centre

Aim: To gather information about homeostasis in our body Instruction 1. Work in groups. 2. Each group has to collect information on homeostasis such as regulation of water content and body temperature. Information can be obtained from the Internet, magazines and other sources. 3. Discuss the information that you have collected in your group. 4. After that, each group has to present their discussion in class using multimedia presentation. Chapter 3

1 In the afternoon

Homeostasis in Plants Observe the plant condition during different times in a day. Plants need sufficient water to prevent them from withering and die. How do plants regulate water content during hot and cold days? Water from plants are lost through a process known as transpiration. During transpiration, plants lose water from leaves in the form of water vapour to the surrounding through the stoma. This involves the transport system in plants.

2 In the evening

Photograph 3.8 Banana tree leaves roll up in the afternoon to avoid excessive water loss

• Transpiration helps plants to absorb and carry water and minerals from the soil to all parts of the plant (Figure 3.5). • Evaporation of water from the leaves cools the plant during hot days.

Importance of Homeostasis to Humans and Living Things Homeostasis in human body and living things is to provide the optimum conditions in the body so that cells can carry out metabolism activities efficiently. All chemical reactions in living cells are controlled by enzymes that are sensitive to surrounding changes. Changes in temperature will influence the enzyme activities. We should be grateful that homeostasis enables the internal environment of our body to be regulated and maintained in a balanced and stable condition. Imagine our life without homeostasis. What would happen if the temperature in our body or other living things continue to increase or decrease? What would happen if the water content in our body or other living things is lost without control?

Sexual Reproduction Sexual reproduction is the main type of reproduction that is carried out by human, higher animals and plants. Human reproduction is not only to produce offsprings, but it also involves family bonding and love.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first scientist who studied sperm cell using a microscope in 1677.

Sexual reproduction involves two parents, which are • male parent that carries male reproductive cell • female parent that carries female reproductive cell

Characteristics

External fertilisation

Nucleus of the male gamete fuses with the nucleus of the female gamete inside the body of the female parent.

Happens when

Nucleus of the male gamete fuses with the nucleus of the female gamete outside the body of the female parent.

The male parent releases sperm into the body of the female parent.

Place of fusion

The male parent releases sperm and the female parent releases ovum. This fertilisation occurs in the water.

The male gamete from the male reproductive organ will be released into the female reproductive organ which has the female gamete and fuses to form a zygote.

Process

The male gamete usually swims towards the ovum and fuses with it.

Asexual Reproduction

Science Exploration Tissue culture is an example of biotechnology that produces new individuals. This technique produces new plants in a short time.

Asexual reproduction is a process of producing new individuals without involving reproductive cells.



Asexual reproduction occurs in simple organisms like Amoeba, Paramecium and Hydra. Plants like onion, ginger and potato also reproduce asexually. For asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved. Fertilisation does not occur in asexual reproduction. The new individuals produced are genetically identical to their parents. Variations do not occur among the new individuals. Various types of asexual reproduction is explained in Figure 4.5.

The head of a sperm contains nucleus that carries genetic and hereditary information to be transferred to the offspring. The tail enables the sperm to move or swim in the semen inside the vagina, uterus and Fallopian tube of the female reproductive system. The normal number of sperms released is 60 million per cubic centimetre. Ovum is spherical in shape with a diameter of about 0.1 mm. The nucleus contains genetic and hereditary information to be transferred to the offspring. The ovum is not able to move by itself. A normal woman usually produces one ovum per month.

An irregular menstruation refers to a condition where a woman does not experience menstruation every month, has too long or too short menstrual cycles. Irregular menstruation might be caused by several factors such as an increase in body weight, hormonal imbalance, emotional disruption, excessive exercise and can also be caused by cervical tumour.

Irregular menstruation can cause negative effects to a woman’s health. Some of the negative effects of irregular menstruation to woman are: 1. Infertility – Irregular menstrual cycle is an early sign of having reproductive system problems. A late treatment can cause serious health problems such as ovarian cancer, cervical cancer and uterus cancer. 2. Having difficulties in family planning – Irregular menstrual cycle causes a woman to have difficulties in determining her fertile day. Hence, it is hard to plan a pregnancy. 3. Health problems such as anaemia – Irregular menstrual cycle can cause a long menstruation. This causes an excessive loss of blood. The body becomes weak and the woman faints easily.

4.3 1. Explain the phases of menstrual cycle. 2. At what age does a woman start to experience menstruation and how long does it last? 3. What is ovulation and where does ovulation normally occur? 4. Is it true that you cannot wash your hair, drink cold water, eat ice cream or play sport during menstruation? Explain your answer.

Fertilisation and Pregnancy

Let’s learn • Communicate about the process of fertilisation and the implantation of embryo. • Justify the importance and functions of placenta and umbilical cord. • Describe the development of a zygote into an embryo and subsequently into a foetus during pregnancy until birth.

ou have learned in subtopic 4.1, that fertilisation is a fusion between sperm and

Y

ovum. What happens after fertilisation? What happens after the fertilisation between sperm and ovum?

After the fertilisation, the woman will get pregnant, zygote will form and grow in the uterus until birth.

Chapter 4

107

2 If an ovum is present in the Fallopian

tube, fertilisation may occur. Sperm will fuse with ovum in the Fallopian tube and form a zygote.

into the vagina during copulation.

Figure 4.17 The process of fertilisation and embryo implantation

The implanted embryo will grow and become a foetus that resembles a human (baby). This process is known as pregnancy. After approximately 38 weeks, the foetus will be born. Figure 4.18 shows the development of zygote to embryo until birth.

Week 1 – 4 • Hands and feet will start to form. • The embryo has a tiny tail.

Week 7-9 • Nose, ears and fingers will be visible.

Week 10-19 • Embryo will look like a baby. • The embryo is now known as a foetus.

Video on Embryonic Development

Week 20-37 • Foetus will resemble a baby.

Week 38-40 • Foetus is formed completely. • The foetus turns until the head is engaged at the cervix. • The muscle of the uterine lining will contract strongly, the amnion will burst and amniotic fluid will be released. • Foetus is pushed out of the uterus through the vagina and then out of the body.

The Importance and Functions of the Placenta and the Umbilical Cord An embryo grows and develops into a foetus in a sac that is surrounded by a membrane known as amnion. Amnion contains fluid to protect the foetus. How does a foetus obtain nutrients and oxygen inside the uterus? How does a foetus remove its waste?

Placenta • Made up of tissue from both mother and the embryo • Place where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, supply of nutrients and removal of waste materials through the mother’s blood and the foetus occur. Umbilical cord • Tube which connects the foetus to the placenta • There are blood vessels inside the tube to transport blood to and from the foetus Uterine wall • Consists of muscular wall • The place where the embryo is implanted and develops

Science Exploration Amniocentesis test is done to detect a few types of birth defect such as Down syndrome and muscle contraction. An amount of amniotic fluid is taken and tested.

Amnion • Membrane that forms a sac and contains fluid

Foetus • Embryo develops to form a foetus

Amniotic fluid • Acts as a cushion to absorb concussion and protects the foetus from injuries

Factors Affecting the Development of a Foetus and Baby

Let’s learn • Relate the importance of taking nutritious food during pregnancy to the health of both mother and foetus. • Justify the importance of avoiding the intake of harmful substances to the foetus. • Justify the benefits of breastfeeding compared to formula milk on the infant’s development. • Realise that every living creature has a right to live even if it is in the womb.

W

hy is the nutritional requirement between a woman who is pregnant and one who is not pregnant different? You have learned foetus obtains nutrients and oxygen from the mother in subtopic 4.4. A pregnant woman must have a healthy and balanced diet and take good care of her health to deliver a healthy baby. The calorie requirement for a pregnant woman is higher. Figure 4.20 shows the daily calorie requirement of a pregnant woman.

Carbohydrate • Pregnant: 11 592 kJ • Not pregnant: 9 450 kJ

Vitamin A • Pregnant: 900 µg • Not pregnant: 750 µg

Protein • Pregnant: 85 g • Not pregnant: 39 g

Calcium • Pregnant: 1 000 – 1 500 mg • Not pregnant: 400 – 500 mg

Iron • Pregnant: 15 mg • Not pregnant: 10 mg

Vitamin C • Pregnant: 50 mg • Not pregnant: 30 mg

Figure 4.20 Daily calorie requirement of a pregnant woman Chapter 4

111

The intake of nutrients by a pregnant woman must be balanced and contain more carbohydrate, fat, protein, folic acid, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron and fibre. Each of the nutrients plays a vital role for the health of the mother and her baby. Figure 4.21 shows the nutrients which are needed by a pregnant woman.

Fibre • Examples: cereal, vegetables and fruits • Function: prevents constipation

Vitamin C • Examples: citrus fruits, guava and tomatoes • Functions: for skin health of foetus and mother and to prevent bleeding gums

Iron • Examples: liver, red meat and fish • Function: formation of haemoglobin to prevent anaemia

Protein • Examples: chicken, red Folic acid meat, fish, milk and • Examples: broccoli, spinach cheese and groundnuts • Function: important for • Function: important for the the growth of new cells nervous system development of the foetus of the foetus

The Importance of Practising Frequent Health Screening to Get Immediate Treatment for Problems Related to Reproductive System An individual is encouraged to do at least one health screening per year starting at the age of 40.

Why is health screening so important?

• Health screening is done as an evaluation to detect early symptoms of chronic diseases.

• Cancer involving reproductive system such as uterine cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer can still be treated if it is detected earlier.

• Practising health screening can reduce the risk of health problems which require high-cost treatments.

The pollination is the process of transferring matured pollen grains from anther to stigma. The matured anther will burst and spread the pollen grains. Some pollen grains might fall on soil and some are brought by pollinating agents to the stigma of a flower. Pollination is divided into two, self-pollination and cross-pollination as shown in Figure 4.27. Types of pollination

Structures of a Seed and Their Functions After fertilisation, the ovule grows inside the ovary and then develops into seeds. A seed is made up of an embryo wrapped in a seed coat or testa. The other parts of the flower will wither and fall. Seeds are divided into two which are monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous. Figure 4.32 and Figure 4.33 show the structure of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous seeds.

Germination of Seeds How does the shape of a germinating seed change in terms of the growth of the radicle, plumule and the condition of the cotyledon? During germination, the testa bursts and the radicle starts to appear and grow downwards into the soil to form root. Meanwhile, the plumule grows upwards to form a new shoot. Certain cotyledons are carried out of the soil and this is known as epigeal germination (Figure 4.34). There are also cotyledons that remain in the soil during germination. This germination is known as hypogeal germination (Figure 4.35). Leaf and stem from plumule

How Can We Classify Materials by their Different Characteristics? Seawater is salty because of the salt content in it. What are the differences between the properties of salt and seawater? Salt and seawater have different boiling points. Water evaporates into water vapour as its boiling point is lower than salt. Eventually, only the salt crystals are left behind. We can classify various materials by the following characteristics: Density Melting point Boiling point Solubility

Density

The density of a material is the mass per unit volume of that material. Density determines the ability of a material to float or sink in water. A material that has a lower density will float, while a material that has a higher density will sink. For example, oil has a lower density which causes it to float on water. Table 5.1 shows some examples of classification of substances by density.

Sugar

Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a given amount of solvent to form a solution. The solubility of a substance depends on the physical and chemical Coffee properties of its solute and solvent. As different substances have different solubility, matter can also be classified by its solubility. For example, we dissolve sugar (solute) in a cup of coffee (solvent) to drink.

Changes in the State of Matter Caused by the Absorption and the Release of Heat Based on Kinetic Theory of Matter Matter can change from one state to another when heat is absorbed or released.

There are many substances that undergo changes of matter due to absorption or release of heat in our life. What happens to the matter when heat is absorbed or released? Heating or cooling can cause changes in the state of matter. For example, when a liquid is cooled, it will release heat. The particles in the liquid will lose kinetic energy and move slower. The particles will attract one another and change into solid. The liquid undergoes the freezing process. When a solid is heated, the substance will change to liquid and lastly change to gas during the boiling process. Some substances will change directly from solid to gas. This process is called sublimation. During sublimation, the kinetic energy of the particles increases as they absorb heat until it can change directly from solid to gas.

Melting • Solid absorbs heat when heated. • The particles obtain energy and vibrate faster. • Heat is used to overcome the force of attraction between the particles. • Particles move freely when the temperature reaches melting point. • Solid turns into liquid. Boiling • Boiling occurs when the temperature of the liquid is equal to the boiling point of the liquid. • Liquid absorbs heat when heated. • The particles obtain energy and move faster. • Heat is used to break the bond between the liquid particles. • When the temperature reaches the boiling point, the particles move freely and randomly. • Liquid turns into gas. Evaporation • • • •

Evaporation occurs at any temperature. Liquid absorbs heat from the surroundings. The particles obtain energy and move faster. Liquid is evaporated slowly and turns into gas.

Condensation • Heat is released when gas is cooled. • The particles lose energy and move slower and closer to one another. • When the temperature is equal to or below the boiling point, gas will turn into liquid. Freezing • Liquid releases heat when it is cooled. • Particles lose energy and move slower. • Particles start to vibrate at a fixed position when they reach freezing point. • Liquid turns into solid. Sublimation • Sublimation is a process in which a solid directly turns into gas or a gas directly turns into solid.

When a substance is heated, the temperature will increase and when a substance is cooled, the temperature will decrease. However, the temperature will not change when it reaches freezing point, melting point and boiling point during the freezing, melting and boiling processes. Heat is absorbed or released to overcome or form the force of attraction between the particles. During these physical changes, the mass remains constant because the quantity of particles does not change when heated or cooled. The only change that occurs is the kinetic energy of the particles.

Atom and Molecule An atom consists of three subatomic particles, which are protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus of an atom, while the electrons circle around the nucleus. Electron

Proton

Particle with negative charge

Particle with positive charge Nucleus Neutron Neutral particle with no charge

You can easily remember the subatomic particles in an atom by using the acronym



Figure 6.3 The structure of an atom

PEN Proton Electron Neutron

• Johnstone Stoney created the word electron in 1891. • The word nucleus is derived from a Greek word which means little nut.

The nucleus has an overall positive charge due to the positively-charged protons in it. The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons. Thus, an atom is neutral.

Molecules are neutral particles made up of two or more atoms.

What is a Compound? A compound consists of two or more elements combined chemically. It is produced from a chemical reaction. Compounds can be produced in the laboratory or in a natural environment. Examples of compounds are aluminium oxide, zinc sulphide, iron chloride, sugar, water and salt. How can the components of a compound be separated? The components in a compound cannot be separated physically but it can be done chemically, for example by using electrical energy (electrolysis). Photograph 6.1 shows examples of compounds.

In the past, some elements were named according to the substances they produced. The names end with ‘gen’ (abbreviated from ‘generator’). Hence, hydrogen means ‘water generator’ and nitrogen means ‘nitric acid generator’. Today, the names of new elements have to be approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Most of the elements were named after the person who discovered them, the place of discovery and the name of well-known scientists (Table 6.1). However, elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 have not been officially named yet. Figure 6.7 Research of elements Table 6.1 The new elements discovered by scientists

(c) Separation Using Magnet If you hold a magnet close to a box of iron nails mixed with sand, what would happen? Iron nails are metals and magnetic substance. Hence, they will be attracted to the magnet. But, sand is not a magnetic substance. Therefore, it will remain inside the box. Magnetic attraction can be used to separate two solid mixtures in which one of the substances is magnetic and the other is not. Iron, nickel and cobalt are examples of magnetic metals. Meanwhile, gold, bronze and aluminium are examples of non-magnetic metals. Science Exploration Most food industries use a magnet separator to ensure that iron particles are not mixed with the food products.

(d) Sedimentation method What can you observe when sand is poured into a beaker filled with water? Look at Photograph 6.10. Two layers are formed in which the water is at the upper layer and the sand is deposited at the base of the beaker. This is because the sand is not soluble in water and has a higher density. Therefore, the sedimentation method is used to separate a liquid and insoluble solid mixture. Let us carry out the sedimentation method in Activity 6.7.

Chromatography Method

Separation methods like filtration and distillation need a large amount of mixture to separate the substances. How is a small amount of mixture separated? One of the methods is by using chromatography. This method is usually used to check document fraud by separating the colours from the ink used. Besides that, the chromatography method also allows us to identify if there are any harmful food colourings present in our food.

Science Exploration There are athletes who use illegal drugs to increase their energy and stamina. Urine samples are tested to detect the drug content inside the body by using the chromatography method.

1. Put one spatula of sulphur powder and one spatula of iron powder into the crucible. Stir well. Record the colour of the mixture. 2. Weigh the mixture. Record the initial mass. 3. Heat the mixture until the colour changes (Figure 6.28). 4. Let the product cool. Weigh and record the final mass of the product. Questions 1. What is the colour of the mixture when it is heated? 2. Write the word equation of the chemical reaction that occurred. 3. What is the product of this reaction? 4. Is there any change in the mass of the compound before and after heating? After carrying out Activity 6.11, you can see that a metal and a non-metal form a compound when heated together and the total mass before and after heating is the same and does not change. This phenomenon always occurs in our daily life. All mineral salts that are found in nature exist in the form of compounds due to the chemical reaction that occurs, except for gold, silver and platinum.

Methods to Separate Compounds Compounds cannot be separated physically like mixtures because the elements in a compound are bonded chemically. Therefore, a compound can only be separated chemically by electrolysis. What is electrolysis?

its Electrolysis is a chemical decomposition of a compound to . elements by passing an electric current through the compound Let us see how oxygen and hydrogen are separated from water through electrolysis in Figure 6.29. Oxygen

• Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen. • Therefore, to separate the hydrogen and oxygen from water, the water must undergo the electrolysis process. • Figure 6.29 shows how electrolysis is done. This process produces hydrogen gas at the negative electrode (cathode) and oxygen gas at the positive electrode (anode).

Physical Change and Chemical Change All substances undergo changes. These changes can be divided into two; physical change and chemical change. What is meant by physical change and chemical change? The differences between physical and chemical changes

Physical change does not form a new substance.

Chemical change forms a new substance that is different from the original substances.

Examples: Ice melting, water freezing, water boiling

Examples: Rusting of iron, photosynthesis, decaying of leaf and cell respiration

Composition of Air

Let’s learn • • • • •

Plan ways to determine and record the composition of air. Synthesise the composition of air from a pie chart. Justify the importance of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and inert gases in daily life. Appreciate the carbon cycle and the oxygen cycle in maintaining the composition of gases in the air. Solve problems when there is/are interferences to the oxygen and the carbon cycle.

Y

ou have learned that air has mass and occupies space in Chapter 5. All living things need air to survive. Clean air does not have colour or smell. Therefore, we cannot see the air even though it has a lot of substances in it. (Photograph 7.1). What are the contents of air? Air is a mixture of several gases which are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), carbon dioxide (0.03%) and inert gases (0.97%) such as helium, argon, neon, xenon and krypton. Other components that exist in the air are microorganisms, water vapour and dust. The quantity of these components is low and varies according to place and time. For example, there is more water vapour in forests or after the rain than during a hot day.

How does the carbon cycle maintain the content of carbon dioxide in the air?

Carbon cycle is the cycle that maintains the content of carbon dioxide in the air by continuously taking carbon dioxide from the air and returning it to the air.

Chapter 7

• Carbon cycle begins when green plants absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. • Animals that eat the plants obtain carbon elements from them. • When the plants and animals die, they decompose. • Decomposition caused by bacteria and fungi in the soil releases carbon dioxide. • Burning of fossil fuels that contain carbon like coal and petrol also releases carbon dioxide. • During respiration, all plants and animals release carbon dioxide. • These processes such as decomposition, combustion and respiration are balanced by photosynthesis.

The Subtraction of Light How do we see the colour of opaque objects? Why do we see banana as yellow, strawberry as red and leaf as green? The light which has the same colour as the colour of the opaque objects will be reflected directly into our eyes, while the light of other colours will be absorbed by the objects. This phenomenon is known as subtraction of light.

The Principle of Light Subtraction The colour of opaque objects depends on the colour of the light reflected into our eyes. Objects with primary colours (red, blue or green) will only reflect the light which has the same colours as them. White light

Green object

A green object only reflects green light. Other coloured lights will be absorbed. Therefore, the object appears green.

Objects with secondary colours (yellow, magenta or cyan) reflect the light of the same colour and also the light of primary colours which form the secondary colour. White light

A yellow object reflects yellow, red and green colours. The overlap of red and green lights causes the object to appear yellow.

Yellow object

White objects appear white in white light because the white objects reflect all colours in white light. White light

White object

White objects reflect all colours in white light. All coloured lights overlap to produce white light again.

Black objects appear black because they absorb all colours in white light.

White light

Black objects absorb all colours in white light. No coloured lights are reflected. Therefore, the objects appear black.

Difference between Addition and Subtraction of Light After learning about addition and subtraction of light, what is the difference between them? Addition and subtraction of light are two different principles of light. The addition of light is the mixing of primary colour lights to produce secondary colour lights. However, subtraction of light occurs when an opaque object reflects the light of same colour and absorbs the light of other colours.

ave you ever thought about the structure of the Earth? What are the layers of air above the Earth? How is water on Earth such as oceans, rivers, clouds and lakes distributed? What are the Earth’s layers and its composition? Why is Earth suitable for living things? The Earth system consists of four main components which are interconnected, namely atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere.

Atmospheric Stratification

Earth’s atmosphere consists of five layers, each with its respective roles. Exosphere layer (480 km and above) • Contains light gases such as helium and hydrogen. • Air becomes thinner towards space. • Communication satellites orbiting Earth in this layer allow phone calls and television broadcasts.

Exosphere

Thermosphere layer (80 – 480 km) • Also known as the ionosphere because it contains ions that can reflect radio waves. • Aurora, a stream of colourful lights resulting from reactions of charged particles with Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric gases occurs here.

Thermosphere

Mesosphere

Mesosphere layer (50 – 80 km) Burning and destruction of meteorites occur in this layer.

Stratosphere Ozone layer

Troposphere

Stratosphere layer (13 – 50 km) • This layer is suitable and stable for aircraft flights. • The ozone layer that contains ozone gas which absorb harmful ultraviolet rays from sunlight is found here. • The ozone layer depletes when chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released from pesticides, refrigerators and air-conditioners break down ozone molecules in the ozone layer.

Troposphere layer (0 – 13 km) The layer where living organism breathes, wind blows and where clouds, rain and snow form.

Distribution of Water on Earth The ocean contains a lot of water. Where does this water come from? Seawater is evaporated by sunlight and is taken to the mainland by clouds before it falls back as rain water. The water in the rivers then flow into the ocean. The water cycle process is continuous. Therefore, it is said that the total amount of water contained in Earth, on Earth’s surface and in Earth’s atmosphere is always constant.

Earth is the Only Home for Living Organisms Recall the topic of Solar System that you have learned in primary school. Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the only planet suitable for life in our Solar System (Photograph 9.2). One of the unique characteristics of Earth that makes it suitable for all life is the Earth’s temperature, which is not too hot or too cold compared to other planets. This is due to the Earth’s position, which is not too near or too far from the Sun. Besides, the presence of water and oxygen on Earth also allows Earth to host all life. Therefore, love our Earth by taking good care of the environment!

Let’s learn • Explain the type and characteristic of rocks. • Communicate on how to differentiate the process of rock formation.

E

arth’s crust is formed from various types of rocks, which differ in colour, structure, texture and the way it is formed. Generally, the rocks can be categorised into three groups, namely igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. Each type of rock forms differently and takes thousands of years to form. All rocks contain materials known as minerals. Chapter Bab 9

261

Types and Characteristics of Rocks Table 9.1 shows the types of rocks and their characteristics. Table 9.1 Types of rocks and their characteristics

Igneous rock

Sedimentary rock

Metamorphic rock

Formed from the process of cooling and freezing of magma or lava that flows out of the mantle. Contains various minerals.

Formed by compression of deposited materials carried by the rivers, glaciers and wind.

Formed when igneous rocks or sedimentary rocks are exposed to very high pressure and temperature. Usually harder than the original rocks that formed them.

Consists of many layers which are sometimes hollow and contain fossils.

Main Processes of the Earth

Let’s learn • Explain the different Earth processes that affect the changes on Earth. • Communicate about exogenic and endogenic processes.

W

hat are Earth’s processes that cause changes on Earth’s surface? How do the changes take place? Earth’s surface is formed by two processes, namely exogenic process and endogenic process. Exogenic Process

• Process that occurs on Earth’s surface. • Examples: Weathering, erosion, mass and land depletion, transport and sedimentation. Erosion It is a process of eroding of the Earth’s surface by moving agents such as water, wind and waves.

Weathering It is a process of rock fragmentation and decomposition or decay due to changes in temperature, rainwater, frosting and microorganisms.

Mass and land depletion They involve soil movement from the top of a slope to below as a result of gravitational force.

Exogenic processes

Transport and sedimentation Weathered or corroded materials are moved by agents such as running water, wind, waves and glaciers. The materials will be sedimented when the velocity of the agents decreases. Figure 9.7 Exogenic processes Chapter Bab 9

263

• Process that is caused by forces from within the Earth. • Forms and changes the Earth’s surface. • Examples: Mantle convection process, magma activity and Earth's crust movement (Plate Tectonics).

Endogenic Process

Lithosphere

Mantle

Outer core Inner core

Mantle convection process The high temperature in the mantle and the core of Earth produces convection currents in the asthenosphere layer. These currents are able to move Earth’s crust.

Earth's crust movement (Plate Tectonics) According to the theory of Plate Tectonics, the Earth’s crust is divided into several pieces of plates. These plates constantly move resulting in collision and divergence which produce various landforms on Earth and continental drifts.

Endogenic processes

Divergence of Earth's crust

Magma activity Volcano is a vent on the Earth’s crust that allows molten and hot magma to flow out through it in a strong eruption. The erupted materials accumulate around the slope of the vent and form volcanic cones.

Surface Water and Underground Water What is surface water?

Surface water is found on the surface of Earth. Examples of surface water include seas, ponds and rivers.

Surface water can be polluted by waste materials from industrial and housing areas. Excessive fertilisers and pesticides from agricultural areas also pollute river water.

Photograph 9.5 Surface water Do you know that there is water under the ground known as underground water?

Yes, I do. Underground water or aquifer fills up the empty spaces between soil particles and the layers of permeable rocks.

Leaching of chemical fertilisers and pesticides in agriculture exposes underground water to the risk of pollution. Chemicals from industrial and domestic waste in landfills carry the risk of polluting underground water.

Economic Minerals Economic minerals in the Earth consist of metallic minerals, non-metallic minerals and rare earth minerals. Examples of metallic minerals are iron ore, tin and gold while examples of non-metallic minerals are coal and petroleum. Rare earth minerals consist of one or more than one of 17 rare earth elements found inside Earth's crust. Even though almost all rare earth minerals can be found in abundance, it is however not easy to separate them as they exist together with other rare earth elements. Because of the rare minerals' unique properties, they are very important in modern technology. They are used in computers, DVDs, communication devices, television and others. Therefore, technology based on rare earth minerals is very important to the development of the economy of the country and world in general.

Petroleum and coal are used as fuel. How are they formed? Coal

Millions of years ago, plants died naturally.

Under high pressure and heat, fossil of plants turned slowly into coal.

The remains were buried under layers of sediment and mud.

Natural gas Mud and rocks

Sea

Seabed Dead marine organisms sank into the seabed.

Petroleum After millions of years, the dead organisms became more embedded into the earth below thick layers of stone and mud.

Through the action of bacteria, partial decomposition occured in a state of oxygen shortage. The continuous decomposition by bacteria under high temperature and pressure finally produced petroleum and natural gas.

1. (i) Menstruation phase (Day 1-5)



The uterine lining breaks down as menstruation begins and is discharged together with blood, unfertilised ovum and mucus.

(ii) Repair phase (Day 6-11) Uterine lining starts to rebuild and thickens. Blood vessels in uterine lining are formed and ready to receive the implantation of fertilised ovum. (iii) Ovulation phase (Day 12-17) An ovum is released from the ovary on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle (ovulation). The uterine lining continues to thicken. Fertilisation is likely to occur if sperms are present. (iv) Premenstrual phase (Day 18-28) The uterine lining continues to thicken and becomes richly supplied with blood vessels. Implantation of an embryo is ready if fertilisation occurs. The menstrual cycle will repeat if fertilisation does not occur. 2.
