Objectives P2. Define mass, volume, and density. P6.2 Describing how a spring scale is used to measure weight

Mass and Weight Many people will use the words mass and weight as if they mean the same thing. Well, this isn’t true when you are working with properties of gravity. Mass is the total amount of space your body takes up. Your mass is not going to physically change no matter where in the Universe you go. Your body will still be made of the same things. You will still be the same shape you are on earth. The only time your mass will change is when you grow bigger in both height and weight. When your weight or height increase or decrease your body mass changes shape. Weight deals primarily with gravity.

Mass versus Weight 1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale. 3) The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. Weight, on the other hand does change with location, because of gravity.

Gravity 4.Gravity is a force of nature that works between two bodies of matter in the universe to try and pull them together. The best example possible to explain gravity is to look at a person. You are a body of matter. The earth is also a body of matter. Gravity pulls you down to the earth and allows you to walk around instead of floating. http://www.amnh.org/ology/astronomy#featu res/gravity?TB_iframe=true&height=500& width=600

The Moon has a gravity that is 0.165 of Earth's The moon has less amounts of gravity then the earth does so if you were to go on the moon you would bounce and float rather than walk. You would also weigh a lot less because the lack of gravity would make your body weight change. Weight change occurs because the matter would be much denser then it is on the earth. While you are on earth gravity will stop you from floating away. However, the further you get from earth the more problems you would have staying on the ground.

Volume vs. Capacity 1.Capacity is the ability to hold contain, absorb, or receive. It is the amount of space that can be filled. 2.Volume is the amount of space that is taken up within three-dimensional objects. 3.Volume and capacity are sometimes Thought about as capacity being used for how much liquid a container can hold and volume being how much space an object displaces. 4.Capacity is the total volume something has. 5.Volume = length X width X height Video Clip: United Streaming/Discovering Math: Volume and Capacity

Population Density If you have ever been in a crowded movie theater or shopping mall, you are familiar with the idea of density. Picture your school classroom with only five students in it. Now think of that same classroom with 30 students in it. The classroom is the same size in each case, but the number of people is different. Which classroom situation has a higher density? If you said the class of 30 students, you are correct. 1. More students in the same sized space means a higher population density.

Density 2. The box that has more balls has more mass per unit of volume. This property of matter is called density. The density of a material helps to distinguish it from other materials. 3.. Since mass is usually expressed in grams and volume in cubic centimeters, density is expressed in grams/cubic centimeter.

Think: You have a block that is 2 cm by 2 cm by 2 cm. This means that the volume of the block is 8 cm3. You place the block on a balance and find that its mass is 50 grams. You would calculate the density of the block by taking 50 g and dividing it by 8 cm3. The density of the block is 6.25 g/cm3. 4. Density = Mass ÷ Volume Volume = l x w x h = 2x2x2 = 8cm3 Mass = 50 g Density = 50g ÷ 8cm3 = 6.25g/cm3

Will it sink? The density of many common substances are known. For example, the density of water is 1.00 g/cm3. The density of a substance determines whether that substance will sink or float if placed in a liquid like water. Substances that are less dense than water will float on its surface and substances that are denser will sink in it. Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm3, which means it is much denser than water. Would gold sink or float if placed in water?

The density of liquids: Take a glass and add some water to it. Then carefully pour some vegetable oil on top of the water. You will notice that the oil forms a layer on top of the water. Why would this be?

It happens because oil is less dense than water, so it is able to float on top of it. If you were to add some other objects to this glass they would float or sink according to their densities. Water in its liquid form is called ice. A unique property of water is that solid water is less dense than liquid water. This means that ice floats. You have probably observed this when drinking a glass of ice water. The density of ice is very important to living things. During the winter lakes form layers of ice on the surface, but there is still liquid water (which is more dense) below. This allows fish and other animals to survive during the winter.

In chemistry, density is a physical property of something. Density depends on both mass and volume. The equation below shows this. Density = mass/volume Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies. Density can be calculated by taking the mass (usually measured in grams) and dividing it by the volume (usually measured in cm3).

We can calculate density using the formula: Density= Mass/Volume 5. Block I Mass = 79.4 grams Volume=29.8 cubic cm Density = mass/volume D= 79.4g/29.8cm3 D = g/cm3 6. Block II: Mass= 25.4 grams Volume=29.8 cubic cm. Density =

Testing Density What You Need 2 clear glasses Water 2 eggs Table salt Measuring spoon What You Do Fill one glass halfway with water and carefully place one egg in it. The egg will rest on the bottom of the glass. (Of course it does! An egg is heavy!) Fill the other glass halfway with water, add 10 tablespoons of salt, and then carefully place the egg in the concoction. The egg will float. If you add more salt, does the egg float higher?

Key Terms Salt: A crystalline compound formed by neutralizing an acid with certain bases. Table salt - sodium chloride - is an edible salt with a tangy taste. Desiccant: A substance that absorbs water and can be used to remove moisture.

Why it Works You can change the density of a substance by heating it, cooling it, or adding something to it. You can test a substance's density by putting something in it and noting how much buoyancy (upward lift) the test item has. Here you test the density of water as a liquid. The density of plain drinking water is low. Salt is a desiccant, which means it absorbs water. So, when you put it in the water, it becomes bloated with water molecules and sink, creating a highly dense layer of saltwater. The egg floats! This experiment also works with people, but you'll need a lot of salt. (Try the ocean!)

No, the water doesn’t magnify, the curved object it is in does the magnifying. The water adds the depth.

Video: The Incredible World of the Microscope

The Microscope

The History Many people experimented with making microscopes Was the microscope originally made by accident? (Most people were creating telescopes) The first microscope was 6 feet long!!! The Greeks & Romans used “lenses” to magnify objects over 1000 years ago.

The History Hans and Zacharias Janssen of Holland in the 1590’s created the “first” compound microscope Anthony van Leeuwenhoek and Robert Hooke made improvements by working on the lenses Anthony van Leeuwenhoek 1632-1723 Robert Hooke 1635-1703 Hooke Microscope

The History Zacharias Jansen 1588-1631 The “First” Microscope

How a Microscope Works Convex Lenses are curved glass used to make microscopes (and glasses etc.) Convex Lenses bend light and focus it in one spot.

How a Microscope Works Ocular Lens (Magnifies Image) Objective Lens (Gathers Light, Magnifies And Focuses Image Inside Body Tube) Body Tube (Image Focuses) Bending Light: The objective (bottom) convex lens magnifies and focuses (bends) the image inside the body tube and the ocular convex (top) lens of a microscope magnifies it (again).

Fine Adjustment Knob This knob moves the stage SLIGHTLY to sharpen the image Diagram

Base Supports the microscope Diagram

Magnification

To determine your magnification…you just multiply the ocular lens by the objective lens Ocular 10x Objective 40x:10 x 40 = 400 Objective Lens have their magnification written on them. Ocular lenses usually magnifies by 10x So the object is 400 times “larger”

Caring for a Microscope Clean only with a soft cloth/tissue Make sure it’s on a flat surface Don’t bang it Carry it with 2 HANDS…one on the arm and the other on the base

Carry a Microscope Correctly

Using a Microscope Start on the lowest magnification Don’t use the coarse adjustment knob on high magnification…you’ll break the slide!!! Place slide on stage and lock clips Adjust light source (if it’s a mirror…don’t stand in front of it!) Use fine adjustment to focus

Reading Focus: How is light affected by concave and convex lenses?  Lens- A transparent object with at least one curved surface.  All lenses refract light that passes through them. The Eye and a Camera

 Convex Lens- Thicker in the center than at the edges. Brings light rays together at focal point.  Focal Point- The point at which light rays passing through a lens come together.  When close to object, convex lens magnifies object. When further, object upside down. Lens Shape NOTES:  Concave Lens- Thicker at edges than in center. Causes light rays to spread out.  Image viewed through concave lens smaller and always right side up.

The Eye and a Camera NOTES:  Eye and camera both have convex lens.  Retina- Light sensitive layer at back of eye that image is focused on.  It sends message to brain for interpretation.  Both ‘take pictures’, but cameras takes one at a time and eye continuously takes them.  Camera focuses by moving lens in and out, with eye muscles in eye cause lens to curve more or less.

Correcting Vision NOTES:  Near-sighted people have trouble seeing things in distance.  Eyes focus images in front of retina instead of on.  Far-sighted people see objects far away clearly, but have trouble seeing close things clearly.  Concave lenses correct near-sightedness  Convex Lenses used to correct far-sightedness

Contact Lenses NOTES:  Contact Lenses- clear, thin lenses that are placed on the eye in front of cornea.  Change path of light, but concave lenses used for both types of vision problems.  First lenses hard plastic, now soft and flexible.

Concave and Convex Mirrors and Lenses Light rays can be reflected off opaque surfaces (surfaces that you cannot see through). If the surface is smooth enough, the reflected light will produce an image as mirrors do. A mirror can be flat or curved. A mirror that curves inward like the inside of a bowl is called a concave mirror. Concave mirrors reflect light rays towards a central point and produce images that can be upside- down or right side up depending on how far away the object is from the mirror. The reflected images can be smaller than the actual object or larger. A mirror that bends outward like the a dome is called a convex mirror. It spreads light rays apart. The reflected images will always be right side up and smaller than the actual object. Light rays are refracted as they pass through translucent objects (objects like windows that you can see through). Light is refracted when it passes through a new medium at an angle. Just as convex and concave mirrors produce different images, concave and convex lenses also produce different images than we would normally see. A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle. It spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object. Nearsighted people (people who see close objects fine but distant objects appear blurry) have concave lenses in their glasses to correct their vision. A convex lens is thinner at the edges and thicker towards the center. Convex lenses are bent towards a central point. Like a concave mirror, when a convex lens is held close to your eyes, it will produce an upright image. If it is held away from your eyes it will produce an upside-down image. Farsighted people (people who can see distant objects with no problem but objects very close to them appear blurry) use convex lenses in their eyeglasses. Convex lenses can produce images much larger than the actual object. A magnifying glass is an example of a convex lens.

Part One: Fill in the blank with either convex or concave. 1. A _________________ mirror curves inward. 2. A _________________ lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges. 3. The image from a _________________ mirror will always appear smaller than the actual object. 4. A lens that spreads light rays apart is a _________________ lens. 5. In a Fun House, a mirror that makes you look upside down would have to be a ______________ mirror. Part Two: Fill in the blank with the appropriate word from the word bank. Refracted Reflected Convex Concave 1. Light rays are _______________ when they hit a mirror. 2. A magnifying glass is an example of a _______________ lens. It can make objects appear bigger than they actually are. 3. Light rays are ________________ when they go through a lens. 4. A ________________ mirror can produce an image that appears larger than the actual object.

1. Light rays are reflected from mirrors. Concave mirrors: With a tennis ball and a cereal bowl, show how light rays will reflect back to a central point. It is helpful to draw the reflected rays on an overhead. Using a concave mirror, show students how they will appear upside down from far away and right side up very close to the mirror. You can use a shiny spoon as a replacement for a mirror.

Convex mirrors: With a cereal bowl and a tennis bowl, bounce the tennis ball off of the back side of the bowl to show how light rays will reflect outwards off of a convex mirror. It is helpful to draw the rays reflecting on an overhead. Using the back side of a spoon, show students that their image will always be right side up and smaller than normal. Compare this image with the front of the spoon.

2. Light rays are refracted as they travel through lenses.

Label the diagram to show the following parts of the eye: iris retina optic nerve cornea

Video: The Eye function and structure

Eye parts + functions The retina of the eye turns an image into nerve signals. The pupil of the eye contracts to protect the eye from receiving too much light. Your eye and a camera are quite similar; light rays come together. Both use convex lenses to focus the image upside-down. Your eye uses its retina to detect the image whereas the camera uses film to detect the image.

Light rays are reflected off of opaque surfaces and if these surfaces are very shiny as mirrors are, they will produce an image. A concave mirror bends in towards the center like the inside of a bowl and a convex mirror bends outward to the edges. Light rays are reflected inwards toward a focal point by concave mirrors. A concave mirror can produce images that are right side up and very large or upside down. Light rays are reflected outwards by a convex mirror. Images produced by a convex mirror will always appear right side up and smaller than the actual object. Light rays are refracted as they pass through translucent objects such as lenses.

A concave lens is thicker at the edges than it is at the center, and a convex lens is thicker in the middle than it is at its edges. A concave lens refracts light rays spreading them outward producing an image that is upright and smaller than the actual object.

A convex lens refracts light rays inward. If a convex lens is held close to a person’s eyes, they will see an image that is upright and larger than the actual object. If the convex lens is held further away from a person’s eyes, they will see an image upside down. A refracting telescope uses two convex lenses to magnify images in the sky. A reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens to do the same job. A microscope, like a reflecting telescope, uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. However, they are used to magnify very small images on slides not in the sky.

Reflected Light What happens when light hits an object that it can't pass through? If the object is black, the light is absorbed and changed to heat energy. If the object is white, most of the light is reflected back. Can you think of an object you probably use everyday that reflects light? If you guessed a mirror, you were correct! A mirror reflects almost all the light that falls on it. Try these experiments with a classmate to find out more about how mirrors reflect light. Materials: 3 mirrors 1. Place one mirror in the path of sunlight. 2. Place the second mirror in such a way that light rays are reflected from the first mirror. 3. Place the third mirror in the path of the reflected rays of the second mirror. Where can you see the light? What do you think would happen if you placed another mirror in the path of the light? Can you use the mirrors to direct the light to a specific spot? Set up your own experiment with reflected light. Start with a question you want to answer. Design an experiment that will help you find out. Write your procedure below. Materials: ruler, paper, small mirror, protractor, pencil 1. Draw a dotted or broken line on the paper with a ruler. 2. Draw a straight line across it at any angle. 3. Place a mirror upright at the point where the two lines meet. Turn it until the reflection of the dotted line is in line with the real dotted line. 4. Look into the mirror and line up one edge of the ruler with the reflection of the straight line. 5. Draw this line and then measure the angles on each side of the dotted line with a protractor. 6. Repeat, changing the size of the angle. What can you conclude? What are your overall conclusions about reflected light?

Alabama Science Test Notes Ready For Science 1.A spring scale measures in Newtons. The greater the weight, the farther down the pull on the scale. The spring scale would not measure the same in outer space as it does on Earth because of gravity. 2.A pan balance measures the mass of an object. 3.Use a balance to measure mass and a spring scale to measure weight. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. 4.In a lab, safety rules include notifying the teacher of any accidents.

Alabama Science Test Notes 5.During an experiment, you need data to justify a conclusion. 6.The hypothesis is tested during an experiment. 7.Scientists need to record all parts of their experiments so others can repeat to see if they get the same results. 8.The stage of the microscope holds the slide or object being viewed. 9.If data does not support the hypothesis, record data and repeat. 10.The difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees on the Celsius scale. The difference on the Fahrenheit scale is 180 degrees.

11.The first scientist to use a lens to observe microscopic organisms was Anton van Leeuwenhoek. 12.The amount of space an object takes up is its volume. 13.To determine the volume of an object (ex. rock), put it in liquid (beaker or cylinder with measurements) and calculate the change in the water level. 14.Mass is the amount of matter in an object. 15.If you have equal masses (ex. 1 kg) of dirt, rocks, sugar, and feathers, the 1 kg of feathers would take up the most space and have the greatest volume.

16.A brick would have a high mass, but a small volume. 17.Density is the relationship between mass and volume (density = mass X volume). The compactness of the amount of matter in the volume of an object. 18.Two blocks of wood that are the same size, but one floats in water and one sinks would have different masses and different densities. 19.Two boxes the same type and size with the same kinds of shirts, but one box has more shirts would have different densities and different masses.

20.Eyeglasses bend light to help you focus. 21.Reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface. 22.A lens is a curved transparent object that bends light. There are two kinds of lenses, concave and convex. 23.Concave and convex lenses are used to bend the light rays which will change the focal point - point of focus. They are used in eyeglasses, contacts, microscopes, telescopes and cameras etc. 24.When light travels through lenses, refraction occurs. The light bends either outward or inward, it depends on the lens. 25.A spoon is a good example of a reflecting surface with one side being convex the other concave. Concave increases the size of the object while convex decreases the size.

26.A concave lens is curved inward like a cave, magnifies, and causes light rays to spread out. A convex lens is curved outward, makes objects appear smaller, and bends light rays toward one another. 27.The retina of the eye turns an image into nerve signals. 28.The pupil of the eye contracts to protect the eye from receiving too much light.

29. Your eye and a camera are quite similar; light rays come together. Both use convex lenses to focus the image upside-down. Your eye uses its retina to detect the image whereas the camera uses film to detect the image.

30.. If one is nearsighted, the lens in the eye causes the focus to be behind the retina. These people see close-up but have some difficultly seeing far away. The lens focuses in front of the retina because the actual eyeball is too long from front to back. To correct this nearsightedness, the person would wear glasses or contacts with concave lenses. Eyeglasses shaped like a concave lens improves the view of distant objects and bend light rays outward to focus the image on the back of the eye instead of behind it.

31. The lens of your eye is a double convex lens. Its job is to focus the image on the retina of the eye. If one is farsighted, the lens in the eye causes the focus to be behind the retina. These people see far but have some difficultly seeing close- up. The lens focuses behind the retina because the actual eyeball is too short from front to back. To correct this farsightedness, the person would wear glasses or contacts with convex lenses. 32. A glass of water used to magnify is a concave lens that bends light inward.

The Great Disposable Diaper Debate Materials: (per group) #3 Disposable Diapers: 1 Pampers Custom Fit 1 Huggies Supereme 1 Luvs Ultra Leakguards Paper towels, water, measuring cup, black waterproof marker Safety! Disposable diapers should not be cut because of safety hazard. Reflect on the Introduction/Engagement Investigation, “Where Did the Water Go?” Remember that polyacrylate is found in disposable diapers. Use 3 different types of disposable diapers: Pampers Custom Fit, Huggies Supreme, and Luvs Ultra Leakguards to design your own investigation to answer the question, “Which diaper is the most absorbent?” What does absorbent mean? Concentrate on only one area of the diaper because of the time. Use the 6 components of the science notebook to record investigation.

Disposable Diapers Plan an investigation using the following disposable diapers: –Pampers Custom Fit –Huggies Supreme –Luvs Ultra Leakguards Record your procedure in your Science Notebook using the 6 components. Other materials that you may need are located at the front of the room.

How do you organize a science notebook? Question/Problem/Purpose Hypothesis Procedure/Planning Results/Data/Observations Conclusion/What have you learned? Next Steps/New Question

The Great Disposable Diaper Debate Question/Problem/Purpose Which brand of baby diapers is the most absorbent?

Hypothesis Hypothesis: If I pour water in each of the three diapers, then I believe Huggies Supreme will hold the most and be the most absorbent because it is the thickest.

Procedure/Planning Materials: (Per group) 1 Pampers Custom Fit diaper, 1 Huggies Supreme diaper, 1 Luvs Ultra Leakguards diaper, paper towels, black waterproof marker, 1 measuring cup, water. Label the first paper towel “A” using the black marker and place it down on a flat surface. Procedure: 1.Open up the Pampers Custom Fit diaper and place it on top of paper towel “A” with the absorbent pad exposed. 2.Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the Huggies Supreme and Luvs Ultra Leakguards diapers and label the paper towels “B” and “C.” 3.Fill the measuring cup to the half-cup mark with water. 4.Carefully pour the water onto the center of the absorbent pad for diaper “A.” 5.Carefully lift diaper “A” up and turn it over so that the absorbent pad faces the paper towel and observe for leakage (indicated by drops of water on the paper towel). 6.Repeat steps 4-6 until leakage is observed. On your data chart, record the number of ½ cups it took until leakage was observed. 7.Repeat steps 4-7 for diapers “B” and “C.”

Results/Data/Observations Which diaper is most absorbent? Diaper “A” Diaper “B” Diaper “C”

Conclusion/What have you learned? I concluded that Pampers Custom Fit diapers are the most absorbent. I thought that Huggies Supreme would be the most absorbent diaper. However, my data indicates that the Pampers Custom Fit diaper was the most absorbent. It held 5 ½ cups of water before leakage was observed compared with 5 cups for the Huggies and 4 cups for the Luvs Ultra Leakguards diaper. I also learned that diapers are far more absorbent than they need to be! If you change your baby’s diaper regularly, they will never exceed the 5 ½ mark!

Next Steps/New Question I do not feel my data is valid because we only conducted one trial for each brand of diaper. If I did the experiment over, I would like to test 10 brands of diapers instead of 3. I would also do a series of trials for each diaper to ensure validity. This experiment generated many new questions: How do name brands such as Huggies compare to generic brands? How do pull-ups compare to regular diapers in terms of absorbency? Which brand of diaper has the best fastener quality? From conducting this experiment, I learned that Pampers Custom Fit diapers are the most absorbent

Lesson 2: How do cells work together? 1. Cells work together to form tissues. 2. Four Types of Tissue in your Body –Epithelial – in your skin and lines your internal organs –Muscle tissue – most of your body mass –Connective tissue – bones and cartilage of your skeleton; forms bones, tendons, and ligaments. (tendons – connect bones to muscles and ligaments connect bones to bones) –Nervous tissue – “tell” muscles when to contract 3. Several kinds of tissues working together for the same function form an organ.

Lesson 2: How do cells work together? 4. Organs that work together to do a job for the body is called an organ system. 5. There are 10 major organ systems in your body. 6. Cells form tissues; tissues form organs; organs form systems; systems form our bodies 7. Why are cells specialized to carry out specific functions? Organisms are very complex. If cells all have a job, then organisms can become complex and build to form tissues, then organs, then organ systems.

Lesson 3: How do body systems work together? 1.Cells to tissues to organs to organ systems 2.The circulatory system is made up of the heart, the blood vessels, and the blood that transports oxygen, nutrients, and wastes through the body. 3.The liquid part of the blood is called plasma. 4.Involuntary muscle tissue forms the walls of the heart.

Lesson 3: How do body systems work together? 5.Compare organelles in a cell to organs in a human body. Both have specific functions to perform. Organelles do their jobs in the cell and organs carry out their functions for the body as a whole. 6.Describe the skin as the largest organ in the human body and tell about the types of tissues that make up the skin. The skin carries out multiple functions in the body such as protection, sensation, and excretion. The skin contains all four kinds of tissue – epithelial, muscle, connective, and nerve tissue.

Lesson 3: How do body systems work together? 7.The respiratory system is a group of organs and tissues that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between your body and the environment. 8.The lungs are the major organs of the respiratory system. 9.Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. In certain diseases of the lungs, fluid or other material can build up in the alveoli. How can this affect lung function? And What symptoms might tell a person that a problem exists? Fluid would interfere with the gas exchange in the lungs which would affect the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. A good symptom might be a shortness of breath.

Lesson 3: How do body systems work together? 10. The skeletal system protects your organs and gives your body form. It is mainly bones. 11.The muscular system includes muscles and tendons that move bones. 12.An adult’s skeleton is made up of 206 bones. 13.Connective tissue holds bones together.

Lesson 3: How do body systems work together? 14.Muscles contract and relax at joints and are voluntary muscles. 15.The nervous system directs other systems activities and allows you to react to the world. It also connects all the tissues and organs in your body to your brain. 16.The central nervous system has two parts: the brain and spinal cord. 17.The excretory system removes wastes from the body. 18.All body systems work together to carry out life functions

The Major Body Systems COS 9 Identify major body systems and their functions, including the circulatory system, respiratory system, excretory system, and reproductive system.

The Circulatory System The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins.

As blood begins to circulate, it leaves the heart from the left ventricle and goes into the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The blood leaving the aorta is full of oxygen. This is important for the cells in the brain and the body to do their work. The oxygen- rich blood travels throughout the body in its system of arteries.

On its way back to the heart, the blood travels through a system of veins. As it reaches the lungs, the carbon dioxide (a waste product) is removed from the blood and replaced with fresh oxygen that we have inhaled through the lungs.

What is Blood? Blood is thicker than water and has a slightly salty taste. In an adult’s body there is 10.6 pints of blood circulating around. In their blood there are billions of living blood cells floating in a liquid called plasma. The red blood cells are the heavier, more solid parts. The plasma is lighter.

The Respiratory System The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen to be delivered to all parts of the body. http://www.umm.edu/respiratory/images/respiratory_anatomy.jpg

Respiration is achieved through the mouth, nose, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm. Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. http://hes.ucfsd.org/gclaypo/repiratorysys.html

The oxygen then passes through the larynx (where speech sounds are produced) and the trachea which is a tube that enters the chest cavity. http://library.thinkquest.org/5777/resp1.htm

In the chest cavity, the trachea splits into two smaller tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus then divides again forming the bronchial tubes. http://library.thinkquest.org/5777/resp4.htm

The bronchial tubes lead directly into the lungs where they divide into many smaller tubes which connect to tiny sacs called alveoli. http://library.thinkquest.org/5777/resp3.htm

The diaphragm's job is to help pump the carbon dioxide out of the lungs and pull the oxygen into the lungs. http://hes.ucfsd.org/gclaypo/repiratorysys.html

There are many diseases that can harm and even destroy the respiratory system. Asthma is an increasingly common disease that causes coughing and makes it hard to breathe. Lung cancer is a major cause of death particularly among smokers. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria that can destroy the lungs.

The Excretory System The excretory system regulates the chemical composition of body fluids by removing wastes and retaining the proper amounts of water, salts, and nutrients. Components of this system include the kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin. www.faqs.org/health/images/uchr_02_img0199.jpg

The kidneys are organs that filter wastes (such as urea) from the blood and excrete them, along with water, as urine. Cross section of a kidney http://www.imcpl.org/kids/guides/health/excretorysystem.html

The kidneys funnel the urine into the bladder along two separate tubes called ureters. http://library.thinkquest.org/5777/urin1.htm

The bladder stores the urine until muscular contractions force the urine out of the body through the urethra.

The liver acts as a filter for the blood. As blood passes through the liver, it removes amino acids that do not need to be in your body. http://www.livercancer.com/images/anterior.liver.gif

Human Body Student Notes Worksheet

NOTES 1.The cells that cause blood to clot are called platelets. 2.The white blood cells protect you from infection and diseases. 3.The trachea is also called the windpipe. 4.The valves are flaps in the heart that keep blood flowing in one direction. 5.The nephrons in the kidneys separate materials in the blood and return nutrients. 6.The two tubes that carry air to the lungs are bronchi.

7.The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries. 8.The esophagus is a tube that food travels to the stomach. 9. The small intestines are 21 feet long. 10. The liver produces bile. 11. The pancreas produces three different enzymes that break down fats, protein, and carbohydrates. 12. The tiny filtering unit of the kidney is called Bowman’s capsule.

Chapter Review and Test

Alabama Science Test Cells to Body Systems Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts, animal cells do not. They both have a nucleus, mitochondria, at least one vacuole, and cytoplasm. The mitochondria provide energy for the cell and look like wavelengths in an oval. Mitochondria and chloroplasts both change energy from one form to another. Cytoplasm contains chemicals to keep the cell healthy. Chloroplasts, only in plant cells, make food for the cell. The cell membrane protects the cell, holds its contents together, and controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Alabama Science Test 5.The nucleus directs the cells activities. 6.Chromosomes are inside the nucleus and contain information about the cell. 7.Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form organ systems. Of all of these, organ systems contain the most cells. 8.Bacteria and amoeba are single-celled organisms. 9.All organ systems have jobs (ex. they allow animals to reproduce and get rid of wastes).

Alabama Science Test 10.The nervous system sends messages to the muscular and skeletal systems. 11.The excretory system removes wastes from your body and includes the kidneys, urethras, and urinary bladder. 12.The circulatory system transports oxygen to cells and includes the heart, blood vessels, arteries and blood. 13.If you have a cut, the circulatory system responds by transporting white blood cells to the wound. 14.The heart has atriums and ventricles.

Alabama Science Test 15.The respiratory system moves gases in and out of the body and includes the nasal passage, trachea, lungs, diaphragm, alveoli, and bronchioles. 16.The reproductive system produces offspring. 17.Blood oxygenated in the lungs with breathing and blood circulation involves the circulatory and respiratory systems. 18.The circulatory and excretory systems both remove wastes from the body; the excretory, digested wastes, and circulatory, carbon dioxide. 19.The skin is the largest organ on your body. Epithelia tissue makes up most of your skin.
