The key elements of the mastery learning model include planning for mastery, teaching for mastery, formative evaluation, providing remediation, and summative evaluation to assess mastery across units. Benefits include helping students identify their strengths and weaknesses, individualizing instruction, and reducing variation in achievement levels.
Gandhi believed education should develop students holistically - physically, mentally, and spiritually. He emphasized character development and learning practical skills. Gandhi's educational philosophy was based on principles of non-violence and truth. He advocated for basic education - free, compulsory schooling using local languages and integrated with vocational training through crafts. While aiming to make education more socially useful and democratic, the system struggled with an over-emphasis on vocations and public perception that it was inferior.

It notes that during this stage, children experience steady growth, develop reasoning skills, gain more control over their emotions, want more independence but also want to socialize with peers, and start learning about morality and distinguishing right from wrong. The document emphasizes that it is important for schools, parents, and society to support children's development during this formative period through activities like sports, extracurricular activities, excursions, social groups, emotional outlets, creativity, and moral education.
OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING SCIENCE
Education is a process of bringing about changes in an individual in a desired direction. It is a process of helping a child to develop his potentialities to the maximum and to bring out the best from within the child. To bring about these changes we teach them various subjects at different levels of school. Science as subject is included in the school curriculum from the very beginning.
Before taking any decision about teaching science we should pose certain questions to ourselves, such as,
• Why do we teach them science?
• What are the goals and objectives of teaching science?
• What changes does science teaching bring about in the behaviour of the students?

“During the first phase of democracy the seeds of its basic institution – self-government through an assembly of equals – were scattered across many different soils and climes, ranging from the Indian subcontinent and the prosperous Phoenician empire to the western shores of provincial Europe.
These popular assemblies took root, accompanied by various ancillary institutional rules and customs, like written constitutions, the payment of jurors and elected officials, the freedom to speak in public, voting machines, voting by lot and trial before elected or selected juries. There were efforts as well to stop bossy leaders in their tracks, using such methods as the mandatory election of kings…” (The Life and Death of Democracy, p.xvi)
Best-known example – Athens, 5th century BCE
Athenian Democracy
Direct democracy: citizens (about 10% of the population) participated directly in initiating, deliberating, and passing of, the legislation. The Assembly, no less than 6,000 strong (out of 22,000 citizens of Athens), convened about every 10 days. Supreme power to decide on every issue of state policy
Citizen juries: justice is responsibility of citizens (juries composed of 501-1001 citizens)
Appointment of citizens to political office by lot
Citizen-soldiers: every citizen had a duty to serve in the army
Ostracism: a bad politician could be kicked out of office by the people
Phase TwoRepresentative Democracy
Started around 10th-12th centuries in Western Europe with the invention of parliamentary assemblies
Reaches its classic forms in the 18th century. Officially regarded as normative today.
Marquis d’Argenson, Foreign Minister of French King Louis XV, 1765.
Phase Two
The Glorious revolution laid the foundation of the first democratic principles of the Rule of Law.
Earlier it was believed that the king was the ‘representative of the God’ and that the King’s wishes were the law.
The people strongly protested the idea and dethroned King James II of England.
They passed the Bill Of Rights which firmly stated that the country should be governed by the laws passed by the people and not by the whims of the king.
The French Revolution took place between 1789 and 1851.
In the revolution King Louis XVI was executed .
It was decided that the country should be ruled by the laws passed by the people.
It laid down the ‘Declaration of the Rights of Man’ which highlighted that liberty, Equality etc. were important in a Democracy.
In 1792, France became a Republic.
Phase Three Monitory Democracy
(term coined by John Keane)- After World War II

Skill of Reinforcement
Need
Reinforcement is a term taken from Psychology of Learning. It is directly related with the learning of students. The term implies for the use of technique for influencing behaviour of individuals in the desired direction.
The concept is based on Hedonistic principle which states that an individual tends to repeat the pleasant experiences and avoid the unpleasant ones.
Thorndike’s Laws of Learning
Law of Readiness
Law of Repetition
Law of Effect
The third law is directly related to the skill of reinforcement. The action having pleasant results are learnt better.
Importance
Reinforcement hence constitutes one of the essential conditions of learning. It motivates and increases the speed of learning. The behaviour of the learner can be controlled and changed and thus can help learning.

Models of Teaching
How do models and methods of teaching differ?
Teaching is an interactive process, primarily involving class room talk which takes place between teacher and pupil and occurs during certain definable activity.
A teaching method comprises the principles and methods used for instruction. Commonly used teaching methods may include class participation, demonstration, recitation, memorization, or combination of these.
Models of teaching are nothing but planning of lesson to formulate its structure and outline useful for successful teaching.
American Educationists Bruce Joyce and Marsha Weill have invented these models of teaching.
5 aspects of a Model-
Objectives of a Model
Syntax
Support System
Social System
Principles of Reaction
Inquiry Training Model
Suchman’s Inquiry Training Model
J. Richard Suchman presented his model in the United States in 1962.
This model is designed to assist students in developing the skills required to raise questions and seek out answers stemming from their curiosity
Suchman’s Theory:-
Student inquire when they are puzzled.
They can become conscious of and learn to analyze their thinking strategies.
New strategies of thinking can be taught.
Co-operative inquiry enriches thinking, helps student to learn about the tentative nature of knowledge & to appreciate alternative explanations.
When do we use this model
The Suchman’s Inquiry Training Model is most commonly used in
Science
Social Studies
Languages in Story Telling
Objectives of Inquiry Training Model
To develop scientific process skills-observing, collecting, and organizing data, formulating hypothesis, testing etc
To develop among students the strategies for creative inquiry.
To develop among students an independence or autonomy in learning.
To develop among students the ability to tolerate ambiguity.
To make students realize that all knowledge is tentative.
To develop verbal expressiveness among students.

Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation-
Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) is an educational assessment strategy that goes beyond traditional examination-oriented assessments.
It aims to evaluate a student's performance in a holistic manner, considering various aspects of their learning and development throughout the academic year.
CCE has been introduced to shift the focus from rote learning and exam scores to a more comprehensive understanding of a student's capabilities.
It is a shift towards a more student-centric and holistic approach to education.
CCE implemented effectively, can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of a student's abilities and encourage a broader range of skills and competencies beyond academic achievements.
CCE Meaning-
CCE is a process of evaluating the child’s development in all the school-related activities.
This proposal was directed under the Right to Education Act in 2009 by the Central Board of Secondary Education of India and the state governments in India.
Using CCE, teachers can diagnose learners' deficiencies using a variety of assessment activities.
After completing the assessment activities, learners are given valuable feedback.
The teacher guides and supports them to identify the problems.
Aim Of Continuous And Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)-
Evaluate and guide the students in all aspects of education
Improve learning outcomes by focusing on skills and cognitive abilities of students
Encourage regular assessment and constructive criticism
Reduce stress and pressure on students
Enable the instructors with prolific teaching
Functions Of Continuous And Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)-
Helps in the development of new and effective teaching strategies
Aids regular assessment to understand student’s progress
Helps to understand the weaknesses and strengths of students
Enables the teacher to understand problems faced by students and make changes in teaching techniques
Encourages self-assessment among the students
Helps students to develop good habits, work on their weaknesses and correct the errors
It gives an idea about the change in student’s attitudes and values
It gives reports about student’s progress over a period of time
Reduced Exam Stress

4.2.3- Normal Probability Curve
4.2.4- Central Tendency and its importance in Evaluation.
4.2.5- Dimensions of Deviation
The Unit 4 is all about Statistics…
Statistics is the study of the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.
In other words, it is a mathematical discipline to collect, summarize data.
Also, we can say that statistics is a branch of applied mathematics.
Statistics is simply defined as the study and manipulation of data. As we have already discussed in the introduction that statistics deals with the analysis and computation of numerical data.
Projective methods of Evaluation through Statistics-
Measurement is a process of assigning numbers to individuals or their characteristics according to specific rules.” (Eble and Frisbie, 1991, p.25).
This is very common and simple definition of the term ‘measurement’.
You can say that measurement is a quantitative description of one’s performance. Gay (1991) further simplified the term as a process of quantifying the degree to which someone or something possessed a given trait, i.e., quality, characteristics, or features.
Measurement assigns a numeral to quantify certain aspects of human and non-human beings.
It is numerical description of objects, traits, attributes, characteristics or behaviours.
Measurement is not an end in itself but definitely a means to evaluate the abilities of a person in education and other fields as well.
Measurement Scale-
Whenever we measure anything, we assign a numerical value. This numerical value is known as scale of measurement. A scale is a system or scheme for assigning values or scores to the characteristics being measured (Sattler, 1992). Like for measuring any aspect of the human being we assign a numeral to quantify it, further we can provide an order to it if we know the similar type of measurement of other members of the group, we can also make groups considering equal interval scores within the group.
Psychologist Stanley Stevens developed the four common scales of measurement:
Nominal
Ordinal
Interval &
Ratio
Each scale of measurement has properties that determine how to properly analyze the data.
Nominal scale-
In nominal scale, a numeral or label is assigned for characterizing the attribute of the person or thing.
That caters no order to define the attribute as high-low, more-less, big-small, superior-inferior etc.
In nominal scale, assigning a numeral is purely an individual matter.
It is nothing to do with the group scores or group measurement.
Statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mode, and chi-square tests are used in nominal measurement.
Examples include gender (male, female), colors (red, blue, green), or types of fruit (apple, banana, orange).
Ordinal scale-
Ordinal scale is synonymous to ranking or g

Attitude Test-
An attitude test is a type of psychological assessment designed to measure an individual's opinions, beliefs, and feelings about a particular subject or set of subjects. Attitude tests are commonly used in various fields, including psychology, sociology, marketing, and human resources, to understand how individuals perceive and respond to different stimuli.
Attitude tests can be structured in different ways, and they often use scales or questionnaires to gather information about an individual's attitudes. Here are some key points about attitude tests:
Open-ended Questions: Attitude tests may also include open-ended questions to allow respondents to express their opinions and thoughts in their own words. This provides a more qualitative understanding of attitudes.
Attitude Components: Attitude tests often assess three main components of attitudes:
Cognitive Component: The beliefs and thoughts an individual holds about a particular subject.
Affective Component: The emotions and feelings associated with a particular subject.
Behavioral Component: The intended or actual behavior related to the attitude.
Thurstone Method-
In psychology and sociology, the Thurstone scale was the first formal technique to measure an attitude.
It was developed by Louis Leon Thurstone in 1928, originally as a means of measuring attitudes towards religion. Today it is used to measure attitudes towards a wide variety of issues.
Likert Scales-
Here individuals rate their agreement or disagreement with a series of statements. For example, respondents might be asked to indicate how strongly they agree or disagree with statements such as "I enjoy working in a team" or "I feel confident in my abilities."
The Likert scale is used to measure the intensity of an individual's agreement or disagreement with a particular statement or set of statements.
Named after its creator, psychologist Rensis Likert, this scale is designed to capture the strength and direction of a person's attitude towards a given subject.
Scale Structure:
Respondents are presented with a series of statements related to the topic of interest.
Each statement is accompanied by a scale of response options, typically ranging from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree."
Overall, the Likert scale is a versatile and widely used tool for assessing attitudes in various fields, including psychology, sociology, education, and business. Its simplicity and ease of use make it a popular choice for both researchers and practitioners.

Types of Tests- Psychological Test, Reference Test, Diagnostic Tests
2.2.1. Introduction-
Teachers construct various tools for the assessment of various traits of their students.
The most commonly used tools constructed by a teacher are the achievement tests. The achievement tests are constructed as per the requirement of a particular class and subject area they teach.
Besides achievement tests, for the assessment of the traits, a teacher observes his students in a classroom, playground and during other co-curricular activities in the school. The social and emotional behavior is also observed by the teacher. All these traits are assessed. For this purpose too, tools like rating scales are constructed.
Evaluation Tools used by the teacher may both be standardized and non-standardised.
A standardized tool is one which got systematically developed norms for a population. It is one in which the procedure, apparatus and scoring have been fixed so that precisely the same test can be given at different time and place as long as it pertains to a similar type of population. The standardized tools are used in order to:
Compare achievements of different skills in different areas
Make comparison between different classes and schools They have norms for the particular population. They are norm referenced.
On the other hand, teachers make tests as per the requirements of a particular class and the subject area they teach. Hence, they are purposive and criterion referenced. They want:
to assess how well students have mastered a unit of instruction;
to determine the extent to which objectives have been achieved;
to determine the basis for assigning course marks and find out how effective their teaching has been.
So our syllabus here revolves around the Tests.
2.2.2- Developing and Administering Teacher Developed Tests-
2.2.3-CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD MEASURING INSTRUMENT -
1. VALIDITY-
Any measuring instruments must fulfill certain conditions. This is true in all spheres, including educational evaluation.
Test validity refers to the degree to which a test accurately measures what it claims to measure. It is a critical concept in the field of psychometrics and is essential for ensuring that a test is meaningful and useful for its intended purpose. It is the test is meant to examine the understanding of scientific concept; it should do only that and should not be attended for other abilities such as his style of presentation, sentence patterns or grammatical construction. Validity is specific rather than general criterion of a good test. Validity is a matter of degree. It may be high, moderate or low.
There are several types of validity, each addressing different aspects of the testing process:

1.2.1-Measurement - Meaning
Measurement has been the practice with teachers since a very long time. They have been testing their students and assigning numbers regarding the progress of their students in studies, and adopt corrective measures accordingly.
According to Bradfield & Moredock (1957), ‘Measurement is the process of assigning symbols to the dimension of phenomenon in order to characterize the status of phenomenon as precisely as possible’. Measurement is the process by which a characteristic of an object, person or activity is perceived and understood on specific standards and is described in standard words, symbols or definite units.
Measurement requires the use of numbers but does not require the value judgments be made about the numbers obtained from the process. We measure achievement with a test by counting the number of test items a student answers correctly, and we use exactly the same rule to assign a number to the achievement of each, student in the class.
Example: Raman got 93 marks in a test of Mathematics. Measurement is all about the numbers and being able to quantify the performance or the abilities. Measurements are more objective as they have numerical standards to compare and record. It answers the question “how much”.
Scope of Measurement in Education
The scope of educational measurement includes measurement of educational achievement, intelligence, interest, ability, aptitude, and other traits of students. Using methods, tests, tools, and activities to determine a student's level and what he or she has learned and developed.
Need and Importance of Measurement in Education–
Measurement also helps in considering external assessment for the students, and it helps in understanding the cognitive areas of the individual.
Measuring and evaluating pupils' progress is helpful in establishing how much they have learnt.
Without measuring and analyzing what he has taught, the instructor would be unable to determine how far his students have progressed.
1. In India, teachers (gurus) have traditionally been held in high esteem and seen as instrumental in guiding students to knowledge and enlightenment.
2. Ancient Indian civilization was home to many renowned centers of learning including Takshila, Nalanda, and Odantapuri universities which taught subjects like medicine, mathematics, and astronomy.
3. Over time, the Indian education system has evolved with establishment of institutions like IITs and IIMs that are globally renowned while also aiming to promote values of secularism, democracy, and scientific temper.
Inclusion is a commitment to educate students with special education needs in the same schools and classrooms as their peers without disabilities by bringing necessary support services to them, rather than separating them, and providing special education in the least restrictive environment possible. It involves assessing students' needs, making classroom environments and lessons more accessible and meaningful through individualized plans and adaptations, and using strategies like cooperative learning and peer tutoring to support individual student requirements.
Logical or deductive reasoning involves using a given set of facts or data to deduce other facts by reasoning logically. It involves drawing specific conclusions based on premises. Reasoning is the process of using existing knowledge to draw conclusions, make predictions, or construct explanations. Three methods of reasoning are the deductive, inductive, and abductive approaches. The development of Indian logic dates back to the anviksiki of Medhatithi Gautama (c. 6th century BCE); the Sanskrit grammar rules of Pāṇini (c. 5th century BCE); the Vaisheshika school's analysis of atomism (c. 6th century BCE to 2nd century BCE); the analysis of inference by Gotama.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

16. Acids, Bases and Salts
An acid is defined as a substance whose water solution tastes
sour, turns blue litmus red and neutralizes bases. A substance is
called base if its aqueous solution tastes bitter, turns red litmus
blue or neutralizes acids. Salt is a neutral substance whose
aqueous solution does not affect litmus.
17. Methods of Separating Substances
1. Distillation. separation by boiling point differences.
2. Floatation. separation of solids by density different.
3. Chromatography. separation by inner molecular
attractions.
4. Magnetism.
5. Filtration.
6. Extraction.
7. Crystallization.
8. Mechanical Separation.
18. Magnetism
• All the magnets have two types of
poles: north-seeking poles or
north poles and south-seeking
poles or south poles.
• The magnetic strength is the
strongest at the poles of the
magnet.
• Like poles repel and unlike poles
attract (just as like charges repel
and unlike charges attract).
• Magnets attract magnetic
materials such as iron, steel,
cobalt and nickel.
• The stronger a magnet, the larger
will be the attractive or repulsive
force between other magnets.
23. Heat
• ‘Heat is an energy that spontaneously passes between
a system and its surroundings in some way other than
through work or by the transfer of matter.’
• Instrument to measure Heat- Thermometer.
• Unit -As an amount of energy (being transferred), the
SI unit of heat is the joule (J).
3 mechanisms of Heat Transfer-
• Conduction- Heat transfer between the atoms and
molecules in direct contact.
• Convection- Heat transfer by the movement of heated
substance itself such as by the currents in fluid.
• Radiation - It when heat moves as energy waves, called
infrared waves, directly from its source to something
else.
24. Measurement and Effects
of Heat
• The important effects of heat on
an object are listed below:
1) Raises the temperature.
2) Increases volume.
3) Changes state.
25. Sound
• In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave,
through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.
• In human physiology, sound is the reception of such waves and their
perception by the brain. 20 Hz and 20 kHz Acoustic Waves are
audible to humans.
• Sound waves above 20 kHz are known as ultrasound and are not
audible to humans.
• Sound waves below 20 Hz are known as infrasound.
• We measure sound intensity or sound pressure in units called
decibels.
• Hz, hertz = unit of sound frequency is called hertz (Hz).
• A decibel meter is a measuring instrument used measure sound.
• A frequency meter is an instrument that displays the frequency of a
periodic signal.
• an echo is a reflection of sound that arrives at the listener with a
delay after the direct sound.
26. Propagation of Sound
• Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure which propagates through
compressible media such as air or water. (Sound can propagate through
solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation). During their
propagation, waves can be reflected, refracted, or attentuated by the
medium.
32. Manmade Material
• Man-made materials are materials obtained
from natural materials through chemical
processes. These materials are usually made
using natural, and raw materials. Examples of
man-made materials are glass, rayon, and
nylon. paper, steel, synthetic rubber, polyester,
wax paper, concrete, and silicone rubber, etc.
34. Structure of Atom
Atom is divided into
• Nucleus
• Electron shell
Nucleus features following
• Protons
• Neutrons
• electrons
• An atom is a complex arrangement of
negatively charged electrons arranged in
defined shells about a positively charged
nucleus.
• This nucleus contains most of the atom's
mass and is composed of protons and
neutrons.
• A convenient unit of length for
measuring atomic sizes is the angstrom
(Å), which is defined as 1 x 10-10 meters.
• The diameter of an atom is
approximately 2-3 Å.
35. VALENCY
• Valency is the capacity to gain or take
electrons from other atoms when it forms
chemical compounds or molecules.
• For ex.. Oxygen
• atomic number=8
• K=2,L=6 to complete 2nd shell oxygen atom
take 2 e- for stabilization.
• Hence the valency of oxygen is 2.
36. Atomic number and Atomic mass
number
• Atomic no(Z): The no of p+
in the nucleus of an
atom.
• Ex.Carbon
• Atomic no=6
• As no of protons are 6
• Atomic mass no(A):
• also Called as Nucleon
no.
• The sum of no of p and
no of n
• Ex. Carbon
• Atomic mass no= p + n
• = 6+6
• =12
37. Balanced Diet
• A balanced diet is one that fulfills all of a person's nutritional needs.
• A balanced diet is a diet that contains differing kinds of foods in certain
quantities and proportions so that the requirement for calories, proteins,
minerals, vitamins and alternative nutrients is adequate and a small
provision is reserved for additional nutrients to endure the health.
• There are seven essential factors for a balanced diet:
1. carbs
2. protein
3. fat
4. fibre
5. vitamins
6. minerals and
7. water
39. Work • work is the energy
transferred to or
from an object via
the application of
force along a
displacement. In its
simplest form, it is
often represented
as the product of
force and
displacement.
• work (joules) =
force (newtons) x
distance (meters)
40. Energy
• Energy, in physics, the capacity for doing work.
Forms of Energy-
• heat (thermal),
• light (radiant),
• mechanical,
• electrical,
• chemical, and
• nuclear energy.
• All forms of energy are associated with motion. For example, any given body has
kinetic energy if it is in motion.
• A tensioned device such as a bow or spring, though at rest, has the potential for
creating motion; it contains potential energy because of its configuration.
• In the International System of Units (SI), energy is measured in joules. One joule is
equal to the work done by a one-newton force acting over a one-meter distance.
42. Force and Types of Forces
• Force is basically push and pull.
• Force is the external agent that
produces motion. Basically, there
are two main types of forces,
contact forces, and non-contact
forces.
• Unit of force is Newton (N).
• A Newton is a force required to
give a mass of 1 kilogram (1 kg)
an acceleration of 1 meter per
second squared (1 m/s²).
• SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg)
and acceleration is meter per
second squared (m/sec²) hence it
is written as kg m/sec² which is
denoted by Newton.
43. Chemical Change and Chemical Bond
• Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are
formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction
are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of
the reaction are known as the products.
• The five conditions of chemical change: color change, formation of
a precipitate, formation of a gas, odor change, temperature
change.
• There are four types of chemical bonds essential for life to exist:
Ionic Bonds, Covalent Bonds, Hydrogen Bonds, and van der Waals
interactions.
• We need all of these different kinds of bonds to play various roles in
biochemical interactions. These bonds vary in their strengths.
44. Light
• Light, electromagnetic radiation that can be
detected by the human eye.
• Sun, Stars, Fireflies, Glowworms, Jellyfish,
etc.
• Newton was famously credited with the
discovery that white light consists of a
spectrum of colors. The dispersion of white
light into its constituent colors is caused by a
variation of the index of refraction of glass
with color.
• When sunlight enters the atmosphere of the
earth, the atoms and molecules of different
gasses present in the air absorb the light.
Then these atoms re-emit light in all
directions. This process is known as
Scattering of light.
• Raman effect, change in the wavelength of
light that occurs when a light beam is
deflected by molecules.
45. Propagation of Light
• Propagation of light refers
to the manner in which an
electromagnetic wave
transfer it's energy from
one point to another.
Three main processes
generally occur when light
passes between boundaries
from one medium to
another:
• Transmission
• Reflection
• Refraction
• The speed of light in
vacuum, commonly
denoted c, is a universal
physical constant important
in many areas of physics.
• Its exact value is defined as
299792458 metres per
second (approximately
300000 km/s, or
186000 mi/s).
46. Reflection of Light
• The process of sending
back light rays which fall on
the surface of an object, is
called reflection of light. A
plane mirror reflects almost
all the light which falls on it.
• Laws of Reflection of Light -
a. The angle of incidence is
equal to the angle of
reflection.
b. The incident ray, the
normal and the reflected
ray, all lie in the same
plane.
47. Refraction of Light
• A swimming pool always
looks shallower than it
really is because the light
coming from the bottom
of the pool bends at the
surface due to refraction
of light.
• Formation of a rainbow is
an example of refraction
as the sun rays bend
through the raindrops
resulting in the rainbow.
48. Reproduction in Living Things
• Reproduction is defined as a
biological process in which an
organism gives rise to young
ones (offspring) similar to itself.
The offspring grow, mature and in
turn produce new offspring.
• Thus, there is a cycle of birth,
growth and death.
• There are two ways by which
living things can reproduce copies
of themselves: sexual
reproduction and asexual
reproduction.
• In sexual reproduction, male and
female sex cells of the two
parents unite and form a zygote
that will develop eventually into a
being of their own kind.
• Organisms reproduce asexually
by splitting, budding, vegetative
propagation, and the
development of eggs into new
animals without fertilization.
49.
50. Circulatory System
• The circulatory system, also
called the cardiovascular
system or the vascular system,
is an organ system that
permits blood to circulate and
transport nutrients (such as
amino acids and electrolytes),
oxygen, carbon dioxide,
hormones, and blood cells to
and from the cells in the body
to provide nourishment and
help in fighting diseases,
stabilize temperature and pH,
and maintain homeostasis.
3 Types of Circulation-
• Systemic circulation.
• Coronary circulation.
• Pulmonary circulation.
The circulatory system consists of
three independent systems that
work together:
1. the heart (cardiovascular)
2. lungs (pulmonary),
3. arteries, veins, coronary and
portal vessels (systemic).
The system is responsible for the
flow of blood, nutrients, oxygen
and other gases, and as well as
hormones to and from cells.

59. NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
1ST LAW
• Newton’s 1st law states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to
be at rest or uniform motion until and unless a net external force acts on it.
• The first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia.
2ND LAW
• Newton’s 2nd law states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a
net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the
same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the object’s
mass. F=ma
3RD LAW
• Newton’s 3rd law states that there is an equal and opposite reaction for every
action.
61. LAWS OF CONSERVATION
ENERGY
•The law of conservation of energy states that “ The energy can neither be created
nor be destroyed. Although, it may be transformed from one form to another”.
MASS
•The law of conservation of mass states that "The mass in an isolated system can
neither be created nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to
another”.
MOMENTUM
•The law of conservation of momentum states that for two objects colliding in an
isolated system, the total momentum before and after the collision is equal.
•This is because the momentum lost by one object is equal to the momentum
gained by the other.
62. NEWTON’S LAW OF GRAVITATION
• Newton’s Law of
Universal Gravitation
states that every
particle attracts every
other particle in the
universe with force
directly proportional to
the product of the
masses and inversely
proportional to the
square of the distance
between them.
F is the gravitational force between
bodies
m1 and m2 are the masses of the
bodies
r is the distance between the centers
of two bodies
G is the universal gravitational
constant.
63. SPECIAL RELATIVITY EQUATION
• mass–energy equivalence is the relationship
between mass and energy in a system's rest
frame, where the two values differ only by a
constant and the units of measurement.
• The principle is described by the physicist
Albert Einstein's famous formula: E=mc2
64. AVOGADRO’S LAW
• Avogadro’s law, also
known as Avogadro’s
principle or Avogadro’s
hypothesis, is a gas law
which states that the
total number of
atoms/molecules of a
gas (i.e. the amount of
gaseous substance) is
directly proportional to
the volume occupied by
the gas at constant
temperature and
65. OHM’S LAW
Ohm’s Law Statement: Ohm’s law states that the
voltage across a conductor is directly proportional
to the current flowing through it, provided all
physical conditions and temperature, remain
constant.
Ohm’s Law Equation: V = IR, where V is the voltage
across the conductor, I is the current flowing through the
conductor and R is the resistance provided by the
conductor to the flow of current.
66. COULOMB’S LAW
• According to
Coulomb’s law, the
force of attraction or
repulsion between
two charged bodies is
directly proportional
to the product of their
charges and inversely
proportional to the
square of the
distance between
them.

total energy
emitted/radiated per unit
surface area of a
blackbody across all
wavelengths per unit
time is directly
proportional to the fourth
power of the black
body’s thermodynamic
temperature’

EXPANSION
Hubble’s law statement is given as
The velocity of the galaxy which is also known as the
redshift is directly proportional to its distance.
v=H0dv=H0d
Hubble’s law formula: v = H0D
Where,
•v is the velocity of the galaxy in km/s
•H0 is the Hubble constant in km/s/Mpc
•d is the distance of the galaxy in Mpc (mega-parsecs)
74. BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE
• Bernoulli's principle
states that within a
horizontal flow of
fluid, points of
higher fluid speed
will always have
less pressure than
the points.
• p + 1/2 ρ v2 + ρgh =
constant
p is the pressure exerted by
the fluid
v is the velocity of the fluid
ρ is the density of the fluid
h is the height of the
container
75. ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
• Archimedes'
principle states
that a body
immersed in a
fluid is
subjected to an
upwards force
equal to the
weight of the
displaced fluid.
• Fb = ρ x g x V
Fb is the buoyant force
ρ is the density of the fluid
V is the submerged volume
g is the acceleration due to
gravity.
77. DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
• The English chemist John
Dalton suggested that all
matter is made up of atoms,
which were indivisible and
indestructible.
• He also stated that all the
atoms of an element were
exactly the same, but the
atoms of different elements
differ in size and mass.
• Chemical reactions, according
to Dalton’s atomic theory,
involve a rearrangement of
atoms to form products.
• The following are the postulates
of his theory:
Every matter is made up of atoms.
Atoms are indivisible.
Specific elements have only one
type of atoms in them.
Each atom has its own constant
mass that varies from element to
element.
Atoms undergo rearrangement
during a chemical reaction.
Atoms can neither be created nor
be destroyed but can be
transformed from one form to
another.
78. KINETIC THEORY OF GASES
• Consider some amount of gas
in a container; these gases will
be moving randomly in all
directions with all possible
velocities and these gas
molecules. Therefore, acquire
kinetic energy based on their
velocities. To explain this
observed behavior of gases,
Bernoulli proposed a model
called the Kinetic Theory of
Gas.
• The following are the kinetic theory of gases
postulates:
First, the space-volume to molecules ratio is
negligible.
There is no force of attraction between the
molecules at normal temperature and
pressure. However, the force of attraction
between the molecules builds when the
temperature decreases and the pressure
increases.
There is a large space between the
molecules resulting in continuous motion.
The free movement of molecules results in a
perfectly elastic collision.
The molecules have kinetic energy due to
random movement. But the average kinetic
energy of these molecules differs with
temperature.
Molecules exert pressure on the walls of the
container.
79. CELL THEORY
• Cell theory was expanded by
Virchow in 1855 by suggesting
that all cells arise from pre-
existing cells,
• All animals and plants are
composed of cells, which serve
as the units of structure and
function and all cell arise from
pre-existing cells.
• This is called the Cell Theory.
• It was propounded by Matthias
Schleiden and Theodor
Schwann in 1839 later on
Rudolf Virchow added to this in
1858.
• Early cell theory was
comprised of four statements,
1. All organisms are made up of
cells.
2. New cells are formed from
preexisting cells
3. All cells are similar. Finally,
cells are the most basic units of
life.
4. Cells provide the basic units of
functionality and structure in
living things.
80. THEORY OF EVOLUTION
• Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution states that evolution happens by
natural selection.
• Individuals in a species show variation in physical characteristics. This
variation is because of differences in their genes.
• Individuals with characteristics best suited to their environment are more
likely to survive, finding food, avoiding predators and resisting disease.
These individuals are more likely to reproduce and pass their genes on to
their children.
• Individuals that are poorly adapted to their environment are less likely to
survive and reproduce. Therefore their genes are less likely to be passed
on to the next generation.
• As a consequence those individuals most suited to their environment
survive and, given enough time, the species will gradually evolve.
81. GERM THEORY OF DISEASE
• The germ theory of disease states that many
diseases are caused by microorganisms such as
bacteria, virus, protozoa, or fungi. The diseases are
caused by the growth and replication of
microorganisms.
• The germ theory of disease was devised by Louis
Pasteur. He also performed various experiments to
demonstrate the relationship between
microorganisms and diseases.
82. BIG BANG THEORY
• The Big Bang Theory is an astrophysical model of the
universe that can be observed by human senses. The
theory gives details about the origins of the universe
from its early formations to its modern-day evolutions.
• The Big Bang Theory states that the universe began
to cool down sufficiently in order to allow the
formation of particles that would later become
atoms after its initial phase of expansion.
• In simpler terms, it can be stated that the universe
inflated into the cosmic system 13.8 billion years ago to
form the galaxy and the solar system as we know it.
