Figure 1 presents different velocity-time graphs. A velocity-time graph shows how an object's velocity or speed changes over time. The y axis represents velocity (v), while the x axis represents time (t). In the graph for constant velocity, the line remains horizontal, showing that the velocity of the object does not change over time. In the graph for constant acceleration, the line slopes upwards, showing that the velocity of the object increases over time. This increase in velocity is called acceleration. In the graph for constant retardation, the line slopes downwards, which means that velocity decreases over time. This decrease is called retardation. Retardation can also be called negative acceleration or deceleration. A moving object can both accelerate and decelerate. In the graph for irregular motion, the line moves up and down. This means that the velocity of object increases and decreases several times.

An experiment is a controlled scientific study of specific variables. A variable is a factor that can take on different values. For example, the speed of an object down a ramp might be one variable, and the steepness of the ramp might be another.

Energy changes form when something happens. But the total amount of energy always stays the same. The Law of Conservation of Energy says that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Scientists observed that energy could change from one form to another. They also observed that the overall amount of energy did not change.

A given kind of matter has the same chemical makeup and the same chemical properties regardless of its state. Thats because state of matter is a physical property. As a result, when matter changes state, it doesnt become a different kind of substance. For example, water is still water whether it exists as ice, liquid water, or water vapor.

How fast or slow something moves is its speed. Speed determines how far something travels in a given amount of time. The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s). Speed may be constant, but often it varies from moment to moment.

The scientific method is a set of steps that help us to answer questions. When we use logical steps and control the number of things that can be changed, we get better answers. As we test our ideas, we may come up with more questions. The basic sequence of steps followed in the scientific method is illustrated in Figure 1.1.

Electric current cannot travel through empty space. It needs a material through which to travel. However, when current travels through a material, the flowing electrons collide with particles of the material, and this creates resistance.

FIGURE 1.3 Usually, populations first grow exponentially while resources are abundant. But as populations increase and re- sources become less available, rates of growth slow down and slowly level off, reaching the carrying capacity. The carrying capacity is the upper limit to the population size that the environment can support. This type of growth is shown as an "S-shaped" curve below ( Figure 1.3) and is called logistic growth. Why do you think occurs?

Calculating acceleration is complicated if both speed and direction are changing or if you want to know acceleration at any given instant in time. However, its relatively easy to calculate average acceleration over a period of time when only speed is changing. Then acceleration is the change in velocity (represented by v) divided by the change in time (represented by t): acceleration = v t

It also means they will impact the environment less. Everyone can help make a difference. There are three basic ways that all of us can conserve natural resources. They are referred to as the three Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle.

FIGURE 5.7 Eukaryotic cell cycle 1. Growth phase 1 (G1): The cell grows rapidly. It also carries out basic cell functions. It makes proteins needed for DNA replication and copies some of its organelles. A cell usually spends most of its lifetime in this phase. 2. Synthesis phase (S): The cell copies its DNA. This is DNA replication. 3. Growth phase 2 (G2): The cell gets ready to divide. It makes more proteins and copies the rest of its organelles.

Investigations are at the heart of science. They are how scientists add to scientific knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world. Scientific investigations produce evidence that helps answer questions. Even if the evidence cannot provide answers, it may still be useful. It may lead to new questions for investigation. As more knowledge is discovered, science advances.

The scientific method is a set of steps that help us to answer questions. When we use logical steps and control the number of things that can be changed, we get better answers. As we test our ideas, we may come up with more questions. The basic sequence of steps followed in the scientific method is illustrated in Figure 1.1.

A life scientist would carry out a scientific investigation to try to answer this question. A scientific investigation follows a general plan called the scientific method. The scientific method is a series of logical steps for testing a possible answer to a question. The steps are shown in the flow chart in Figure 1.8.

Science is more about gaining knowledge than it is about simply having knowledge. Science is a way of learning about the natural world that is based on evidence and logic. In other words, science is a process, not just a body of facts. Through the process of science, our knowledge of the world advances.

A given kind of matter has the same chemical makeup and the same chemical properties regardless of its state. Thats because state of matter is a physical property. As a result, when matter changes state, it doesnt become a different kind of substance. For example, water is still water whether it exists as ice, liquid water, or water vapor.
