🔑Concepts
Science is the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation. The process involves identifying a problem, forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments, and drawing conclusions.
Measurement is a fundamental part of science. The International System of Units (SI) ensures consistency. Fundamental units include length in , mass in , and time in .
Motion is defined as the change in position of an object with respect to time. It can be uniform (constant speed) or non-uniform (changing speed).
Speed is a scalar quantity representing the distance covered per unit of time, calculated as .
Heat is a form of energy that flows from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature. Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness, measured using a thermometer in units like , , or .
In chemistry, substances are classified based on their composition into elements, compounds, and mixtures. A chemical formula like represents the proportion of atoms in a molecule.

💡Examples
Problem 1:
A cyclist covers a distance of in . Calculate the speed of the cyclist.
Solution:
Explanation:
To find the speed, we divide the total distance () by the time taken (), resulting in .
Problem 2:
Convert the human body temperature of into Fahrenheit.
Solution:
Explanation:
Using the relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit, we substitute into the formula and solve for .
Problem 3:
A scientist measures two liquid volumes in a lab: and . Find the total volume using vertical addition.
Solution:
Explanation:
By aligning the digits in their respective place values (units, tens, hundreds) and adding them, we find the total volume is .
