Answers to the Theory Questions on Integrated Science
- The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.
- An atom consists of a nucleus (composed of protons and neutrons) and electrons that orbit around the nucleus.
- An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge.
- A living cell consists of a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
- Heat energy is energy that is transferred from one body to another as a result of a difference in temperature. It is measured in joules.
- Heat energy can transfer from one object to another through conduction, convection, and radiation.
- A physical change is a change in size, shape, or state of matter without a change in chemical composition. A chemical change is a change in the chemical composition of a substance.
- An example of a physical change is melting ice. An example of a chemical change is the reaction between baking soda and vinegar.
- A simple machine is a device that helps to change the magnitude, direction, or point of application of a force. Examples of simple machines include levers, pulleys, screws, wedges, and wheel and axles.
- A harrow is used to level the soil in farming.
- A hoe is used to till the soil in farming.
- A sickle is used to harvest crops in farming.
- A thresher is used to separate the grain from the straw of harvested crops in farming.
- A cultivator is used to stir and break up the soil in farming.
- A sprayer is used to spray crops with pesticides or fertilizers in farming.
- The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the output force to the input force.
- The mechanical advantage of a pulley is the ratio of the output force to the input force.
- The mechanical advantage of a screw is the ratio of the output distance to the input distance.
- The mechanical advantage of a wedge is the ratio of the output force to the input force.
- The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the output force to the input force.
