Since models are simpler than real objects or systems, they have limitations. A model deals with only a portion of a system. It may not predict the behavior of the real system very accurately. But the more computing power that goes into the model and the care with which the scientists construct the model can increase the chances that a model will be accurate.

Water is a transparent common substance that makes up the earth's oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, streams and more. Water is essential for every living thing to replenish and hydrate. The chemical formula for water contains one oxygen atom to two hydrogen atoms. Everything from the earth's crust to the human brain contain great amounts of water. Water on earth is continually being used and then goes through the water cycle to become new and usable again. The water cycle involves evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation and runoff. Even though water does not have any calories or nutritional benefit it is essential to all living forms on earth. Fishing which occurs in salt and fresh type waters yields much food for the world's people. Water even involves exercise for those who like to swim and engage in other sports like water skiing, wakeboarding and so on.

All living things need energy. They need it to power the processes of life. For example, it takes energy to grow. It also takes energy to produce offspring. In fact, it takes energy just to stay alive. Remember that energy cant be created or destroyed. It can only change form. Energy changes form as it moves through ecosystems.

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.

this image shows the chemical structure of Acetylene. Acetylene is the chemical compound with the formula C2H2. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. As an alkyne, acetylene is unsaturated because its two carbon atoms are bonded together in a triple bond. The carbonóñcarbon triple bond places all four atoms in the same straight line, with CCH bond angles of 180ŒÁ.

If we were doing a scientific investigation we need to gather the information to test the hypotheses ourselves. We would do this by making observations or running experiments.

We use electricity for many purposes. Devices such as lights, stoves, and stereos all use electricity and convert it to energy in other forms. However, devices may vary in how quickly they change electricity to other forms of energy.

Doing science often requires calculations. Converting units is just one example. Calculations are also needed to find derived quantities.

This diagram shows a simple model of an atom. At the center of the atom is the nucleus. The nucleus contains neutrons and protons. A proton is a particle with a positive electric charge. The neutron is a particle with no electric charge. Electrons are particles with negative charges. They revolve around the nucleus in orbits. An atom typically has the same number of protons and electrons. Hence the positive and negative charges cancel each other out.

Although atoms are very tiny, they consist of even smaller particles. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons: Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral in charge.

Electrical energy is transmitted by moving electrons in an electric current. In order to travel, electric current needs matter. It cannot pass through empty space. However, matter resists the flow of electric current. Thats because flowing electrons in current collide with particles of matter, which absorb their energy. Some types of matter offer more or less resistance to electric current than others.

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.
