Scientific models are used to help explain things or concepts that are not readily visible. These models change and develop over time. Our ideas about the atom and the composition of matter have changed a lot, and its history shows us some of the ways in which scientific knowledge is built on and developed.1 Choose one of the following pioneers of atomic theory.

1.2A C T I V I T Y
Matter has mass and volume (it occupies space). All matter is made up of atoms, which are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom, and the electrons live in electron shells at set distances around the nucleus. Because we cannot see atoms, scientists use models to try and understand the structure of an atom.1 Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false.
a matter has mass. ___________
b Atoms are the smallest particles that we know of. ___________
c All matter is composed of atoms. ___________
d mass is the amount of space that something occupies. ___________

Electrons are arranged in electron shells around the nucleus of an atom. The first (innermost) shell holds up to 2 electrons, the second shell is full when it has 8 electrons and, up to calcium, the third shell also holds 8 electrons. We represent the number of electrons in an atom by listing the electron configuration or using a shell diagram.
For instance, the element lithium has atomic 3, so it has 3 electrons, its electron configuration is written as 2,1, and its shell diagram is shown below.

The half-life of a radioactive substance (a radioisotope) is the time taken for half the substance to decay. As a radioactive substance decays, the radioactivity also drops.The following is a whole-class activity.1 Gather 100 counters or two-sided tokens; these will represent the 100 atoms initially in the substance.
2 make a mark on one side of each counter or token. Put all of them into a tray.
3 shake the tray randomly. Examine the counters or tokens and remove those that land with the marked side up; these represent atoms that have decayed. record the numbers remaining in the results table (below).

2.5A C T I V I T Y Electrons and
properties of elements
When an atom gains or loses electrons it becomes charged, and is called an ion. The elements in group 7 need one more electron to become stable; they tend to try to gain an electron and become ions with a charge of 1-. The elements in group 1 need to give away one electron to become stable; they tend to give up one of their outer electrons and become ions with a 1+ charge.1 Classify each statement as either true or false.
a Helium has two outer electrons.
b beryllium is chemically reactive because it has no outer electrons.
c magnesium is chemically reactive because it has two outer electrons.

3.2energy flows through ecosystems in many ways. The movement of matter through the different levels of the ecosystem is shown in food chains and food webs. a balanced ecosystem will retain its biodiversity for a long time, and the number of individual species will tend not to fluctuate too radically.Many types of relationships exist between different species in ecosystems. Symbiosis is important, as are competition and predator–prey relationships.1 Complete the statements below using words from the following list.
movement excreted heat plant biomass carnivore herbivores
Plants use the sun’s ______________________ that falls on their leaves for photosynthesis. when a rabbit eats a ______________________ it digests the food to provide energy and raw materials for its body. some of the plant material is indigestible and is ______________________ as droppings. some of the energy is lost as ______________________. rabbits will convert approximately 10% of the grass they eat into energy for ______________________ or flesh in their body. rabbits are ______________________, whereas a fox that eats the rabbit is a ______________________.

4.5Medicine's cutting edge: RegRowing oRgans
By wyatt Andrews, 11 february 2009
three years ago, lee spievack sliced off the tip of his finger in the propeller of a hobby shop airplane. what happened next, Andrews reports, propelled him into the future of medicine. spievack’s brother, Alan, a medical research scientist, sent him a special powder and told him to sprinkle it on the wound. ‘i powdered it on until it was covered,’ spievack recalled. to his astonishment, every bit of his fingertip grew back.
‘Your finger grew back,’ Andrews asked spievack, ‘flesh, blood vessels and nail?’ ‘four weeks,’ spievack answered. Andrews spoke to Dr steven Badylak of the university of Pittsburgh’s mcGowan institute of regenerative medicine and asked whether that powder was the reason behind spievack’s new finger tip. ‘Yes, it is,’ Badylak explained. ‘we took this and turned it into a powdered form.’ that powder is a substance made from pig bladders called extracellular matrix. it is a mix of protein and connective tissue surgeons often use to repair tendons and it holds some of the secrets behind the emerging new science of regenerative medicine.
‘it tells the body, start that process of tissue regrowth,’ said Badylak. Badylak is one of the many scientists who now believe every tissue in the body has cells that are capable of regeneration. All scientists have to do is find enough of those cells and ‘direct’ them to grow. ‘somehow the matrix summons the cells and tells them what to do,’ Badylak explained. ‘it helps instruct them in terms of where they need to go, how they need to differentiate—should i become a blood vessel, a nerve, a muscle cell or whatever.’ if this helped spievack’s finger regrow, Badylak says, at least in theory, you should be able to grow a whole limb.
in his lab at wake forest university, a lab he calls a medical factory, Dr Anthony Atala is growing body parts. Atala and his team have built, from the cell level up, eighteen different types of tissue so far, including muscle tissue, whole organs and the pulsing heart valve of a sheep. ‘And is it growing?’ Andrews asked. ‘Absolutely,’ Atala said, showing him. ‘All this white material is new tissue. when people ask me “what do you do?” i say, “we grow tissues and organs”. we are making body parts that we can implant right back into patients.’
Dr Atala, one of the pioneers of regeneration, believes every type of tissue already has cells ready to regenerate if only researchers can prod them into action. sometimes that prodding can look like science fiction. Emerging from an everyday ink jet printer is the heart of a mouse. mouse heart cells go into the ink cartridge and are then sprayed down in a heart-shaped pattern, layer by layer. Dr Atala believes it’s a matter of time before someone grows a human heart.

The mercalli scale is based on what people in an affected area feel and the damage done to the surroundings. The effects of any one earthquake vary greatly from place to place, so many mercalli intensity values (e.g. iV, Vii) may be measured for the same earthquake.
each earthquake should have only one magnitude on the richter scale, although the various methods of calculating it may give slightly different values. The richter scale is based on measurements recorded by seismographs and other instruments that help determine the speed, or acceleration, of the ground when it moves suddenly to get a reading of the energy released. note that the richter scale is a type of scale called a logarithmic scale, and each whole-number step represents a tenfold increase in magnitude. Thus, a magnitude 7 earthquake is ten times larger than a magnitude 6 earthquake and 100 times larger than a magnitude 5 earthquake.

a uses roman numerals i–Xi? _______________________________________________________________
b uses a description of damage to buildings? ___________________________________________________

A switch is often placed in a circuit to complete or make and break the circuit, enabling the components to be turned on and off. A series circuit has the components connected along one complete line. A parallel circuit has the components connected along separate lines that branch off from the main line.1 Complete the passage below.

developments have involved teams of specialist scientists
• describe how energy transfers and transformations are not 100% efficient
• discuss how the needs of society can influence scientific research in increasing energy efficiency
• discuss viewpoints that need to be considered in the use of non-renewable energy resources
Any electrical device such as a battery-powered toy car converts electrical energy into other forms of energy. An energy transformation diagram shows the energy input and the energy outputs in terms of arrows. The thicker the arrows, the more energy. For example, Figure 6.15 shows the energy transformation diagram for a particular toy car.
As you can see, as well as the form energy of energy that we wanted – the kinetic energy of the car moving – we also get forms that we didn’t want: heat and sound energy are lost to the surroundings. We say that the car is not very energy efficient. energy efficiency can be calculated using the formula:
Efficiency = amount of usable energy/amount of initial energy × 100%
energy efficiency is becoming more and more important in the modern world. This is because some of the earth’s energy resources are finite and will not last forever. using energy efficiently allows us to get more out of the resources we have and to produce less pollution.1 Define the term ‘energy efficiency’.
2 state the energy transformation, and calculate the efficiency, for the following devices:
a a solar cell that uses 100J of sunlight to produce 40J of electrical energy
b a heater that uses 1000J of chemical energy (in natural gas) to produce 600J of heat energy
