This diagram represents a sound wave and its characteristics. The peak of a wave is called compression or crest. The valley of a wave is called rarefaction or trough. Wave length is the length between two consecutive peaks, i.e. crest or two consecutive valleys, i.e. trough of a wave. Louder sound has shorter wavelength and softer sound has longer wavelength. Magnitude of maximum disturbance on either side of the normal position or mean value in a medium is called amplitude. In other words, amplitude is the distance from normal to the crest or trough. Time required to produce one complete wave is called time period or time taken to complete on oscillation is called the time period of the sound wave. The number of sound waves produced in unit time is called the frequency of sound waves. Frequency is the reciprocal of the time period of wave. Distance covered by sound wave in unit time is called the velocity of sound wave.

The SI unit for distance is the meter (m). Short distances may be measured in centimeters (cm), and long distances may be measured in kilometers (km). For example, you might measure the distance from the bottom to the top of a sheet of paper in centimeters and the distance from your house to your school in kilometers.

Graphs are very useful tools in science. They can help you visualize a set of data. With a graph, you can actually see what all the numbers in a data table mean. Three commonly used types of graphs are bar graphs, circle graphs, and line graphs. Each type of graph is suitable for showing a different type of data.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance or object. Mass is commonly measured with a balance. A simple mechanical balance is shown in Figure 3.1. It allows an object to be matched with other objects of known mass. SI units for mass are the kilogram, but for smaller masses grams are often used instead.

The diagram shows the life cycle of organisms in the Animal kingdom called Arthropods. Arthropods are invertebrates in Phylum Arthropoda. There are more than a million known species of arthropods. In addition to insects, arthropods include animals such as spiders, centipedes, and lobsters. Arthropods reproduce sexually. Male and female adults produce gametes or eggs. If fertilization occurs, eggs hatch into offspring. After hatching, most arthropods go through one or more larval stages before reaching adulthood. The larvae may look very different from the adults. They change into the adult form in a process called metamorphosis. During metamorphosis, the arthropod is called a pupa. It may or may not spend this stage inside a special container called a cocoon. A familiar example of arthropod metamorphosis is the transformation of a caterpillar (larva) into a butterfly (adult). Each life stage can evolve adaptations to suit it for its specific functions without affecting the adaptations of the other stages. In some arthropods, newly hatched offspring look like small adults. These arthropods don't go through larval stages. They just grow larger until they reach adult size.

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.

Liquid states of matter are not rigid and have no fixed shape, but have a fixed volume. They too cannot be squashed. Gas states of matter are not rigid and have no fixed shape and no fixed volume.

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.

Water vapor is an example of a gas. A gas is matter that has neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape. Instead, a gas takes both the volume and the shape of its container. It spreads out to take up all available space. You can see an example in Figure 4.6.

Water (H2 O) is an example of a chemical compound. Water molecules always consist of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Like water, all other chemical compounds consist of a fixed ratio of elements. It doesnt matter how much or how little of a compound there is. It always has the same composition.

This diagram illustrates the components and behavior of a wave propagating through water. The highest point in a wave is called the Crest, whereas the lowest point is called the Trough. Waves are periodic, meaning they maintain the same pattern as they propagate. The distance from one crest to another is called the Wavelength. The wavelength can also be measured from any point in the wave to the next point at the same elevation. Beneath the wave crests, water molecules tend to move in an orbital path. Two important properties of a wave are its Frequency and Period. The frequency of a wave is related to how fast the wave is moving. Frequency is defined as the number of times a particular point in a wave, say a crest, passes by a given point each second. Period is defined as the time it takes for a wave to move through one wavelength or cycle.

The diagram shows the 5 layers of Earth's atmosphere and their relative distance from the Earth's surface. Troposphere is the shortest layer closest to Earth's surface at about 15km away from the surface. The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere and rises to about 50 kilometers above the surface. The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere and rises to about 80 kilometers above the surface. Temperature decreases with altitude in this layer. The thermosphere is the layer above the mesosphere and rises to 500 kilometers above the surface. The International Space Station orbits Earth in this layer. The exosphere is the layer above the thermosphere. This is the top of the atmosphere.

FIGURE 15.6 This graph shows how air pressure de- creases with increasing altitude. the air pressure on the surface of the drink. Because fluid flows from an area of high to low pressure, the drink moves up the straw and into your mouth. When you breathe, a muscle called the diaphragm causes the rib cage and lungs to expand or contract. When they expand, the air in the lungs is under less pressure than the air outside the body, so air flows into the lungs. When the ribs and lungs contract, air in the lungs is under greater pressure than air outside the body, so air flows out of the lungs.

The SI unit for distance is the meter (m). Short distances may be measured in centimeters (cm), and long distances may be measured in kilometers (km). For example, you might measure the distance from the bottom to the top of a sheet of paper in centimeters and the distance from your house to your school in kilometers.
