UNIT 7 MACHINES AND ELECTRICITY

Simple machine video
What is a lever?



7. MACHINES AND ELECTRICITY
Energy: is the ability to produce changes in an object

1.Forces
1.1 Forces move object
Force: is an interaction that can produce changes in motion between 2 bodies=things

                     produce
Force can   modify       motion
                    stop

1.2 Forces on the shape of objects
-          Forces attract or repel
-          Gravity

2. Simple machines
Machine: are instruments which make our work easier
The lever: is a rigid bar that pivots on a point of support, called a fulcrum



-          The effort (E): the force we apply to move an object= load
-          The load (L):  the object we are trying to move
-          The fulcrum (F): the point the balance where the pivot is located

Load = the object you’re lifting. weight  carga

Three classes of lever:
-          1st class lever: where the pivot is  between the effort and the load. E-F-L




-        


2nd class lever:where the load is between the fulcrum and the effort. E-L-F






-         


3rd class lever: where the effort is between the fulcrum and the load. F-E-L



The inclined plane: is a ramp that connects surfaces of different levels




The pulley: is a wheel with a groove around rim that supports a rope.


3. The wheel and machines
The wheel

The wheel in the ancient times: Cart,   potter’s wheel





The evolution of the wheel in transport : solid rubber tyres, Pneumatic tyres



The uses of wheels;
-          Machines that help us to move objects: wheelbarrows, cars, bicycles, roller skates


-          Machines that  reduce the effort needed: cranes, lifts

-         


Machines that use hydraulic power: watermills, irrigation wheels, hydroelectric power plants


-          Machines that power a rotary motion: washing machines, dryers , drills



4. Electric charge and electric current

4.1. Matter and electric charge

Electric charge—— example: rub a balloon on a jumper, the balloon have electric charge

4.2 Types of electric charge

Positively charge (+)    Objects have more positive charge than negative
Negatively charge (-).  Objects have more negative charge than positive
Neutral charge.   Objects don’t have an electric charge

4.3 Charged objects

Objects with Oppositive charges  +  -         ————attract




Objects with like charges    ++.    - -            ————repel


4.4Electric current
An electric current
A battery



4.5 Conductors and insulators
Conductors: are materials that allow an electric current to pass through them. Example: metal

Insulators: are materials that don’t allow an electric current to pass through them.

Example: wood
                 Glass
                 Plastic


5. Electric circuits

5.1 What is an electric circuit?
An electric circuit: is a series of connected components that allow electric current to flow through them
-          Generator
-          Cables and wires
-          Switch
-          The light bulb



5.2 Electrical appliances
Electricity and lighting

19th century the gas lamp to illuminate streets
Candles and oil lamps to light homes

Today the electric light 


You can watch this video to know what is an Atom. I hope you like it!!!
The next day, we have to answer some questions.


This is an Atom song. You can sing it.


This is an Atom




UNIT 5 MATTER AND MATERIALS
Game to review mixtures and method of separation

You can play to this game and learn each method of separation. Enjoy it!

Playing with materials

You can review with this game the origen of these materials.

Mixtures and separations

This video talks about how are the mixtures and how can you separate them.


Game change in matter

Homogenous and heterogenous mixture video 
This is a cartoon episode, you can learn what mixtures and solutions are


It is a video about hamogenous and heterogenous mixture
