Rolly's Notes

CURRENT UNIT

NOTES - Genetics Part 4 - Reproduction and Genetic Variation

NOTES - GENETICS PART 4 - REPRODUCTION & GENETIC VARIATION

These are Rolly's notes on the role of sexual and asexual reproduction on genetic variation. These notes also discuss the importance of genetic variation and the ways this variation occurs, specifically looking at the use of Punnett squares as a model for predicting the outcomes of different trait variations.

PREVIOUS UNITS

NOTES - Genetics Part 3 - Mutations

NOTES - GENETICS PART 3 - MUTATIONS

These are Rolly's notes on genetic mutations. These notes discuss some of the causes of genetic mutations and some of the different types of genetic mutations. These notes focus main on the harnful, beneficial, and neutral effects of genetic mutations on organisms.

NOTES - Genetics Part 2 - Genes-Proteins-Traits

NOTES - GENETICS PART 2 - GENES, PROTEINS, & TRAITS

These are Rolly's notes on what genes are and how they can be similar and different in organisms. These notes also discuss what amino acids are and how they make proteins, as well as how those proteins help to determine the gene for specific traits.

NOTES - Genetics Part 1 - Chromosomes

NOTES - GENETICS PART 1 - CHROMOSOMES

These are Rolly's notes on an introduction to genetics. This set of notes is a general overview of what the study of genetics is and introduces concepts such as DNA, chromosomes, genes, and traits.

NOTES - Tides

NOTES - OCEAN TIDES

These are Rolly's notes on the tides, how they occur, and the differences between them.

NOTES - Eclipses

NOTES - ECLIPSES

These are Rolly's notes on eclipses. They cover information on both solar eclipses and lunar eclipses, including what they are, how they happen, and the position of the Earth-Sun-Moon during each eclipse.

NOTES - Phases of the Moon

NOTES - PHASES OF THE MOON

These are Rolly's notes on the different phases of the Moon and the position of the Moon around the Earth during the different phases.

NOTES - Earth’s Seasons

NOTES - EARTH'S SEASONS

These are Rolly's notes on the seasons, how and why they happen. These notes also discuss why the length of day and night changes throughout the year, and why different seasons have different temperatures.

NOTES - Our Solar System

NOTES - THE SOLAR SYSTEM

These are Rolly's notes on the solar system. These notes contain information about the different objects in our solar system and there characteristics.

NOTES - Gravity In Space

NOTES - GRAVITY IN SPACE

These are Rolly's notes on gravity and it's effect on the motion of objects in the universe, specifically related to galaxies and planetary systems.

NOTES - Wave Properties

NOTES -
WAVE PROPERTIES

These are Rolly's notes on the different types of waves and their properties. These notes include the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves. The notes also discuss the properties of frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and wave speed.

NOTES - Digital Waves

NOTES - DIGITAL WAVES

These are Rolly's notes on digital waves. These notes contain information on how and why we use waves for communication, as well as why using digital waves is more effective over analog waves.

NOTES - Electric and Magnetic Forces

NOTES - ELECTRIC & MAGNETIC FORCES

These are Rolly's notes on the non-contact forces of electricity and magnetism. These notes describe what electric and magnetic fields are and how they can move objects without touching them. The notes also describe electromagnets.

NOTES - Gravity

NOTES - GRAVITY

These are Rolly's notes on the non-contact force of gravity. These notes describe what gravity is and what things determine the gravity of an object.

NOTES - Newton’s Laws of Motion

NOTES - NEWTON'S LAW OF MOTION

These are Rolly's notes on Newton's 3 laws of motion and how they describe the balanced and unbalanced forces that govern the universe.

NOTES - Balanced & Unbalanced Forces

NOTES - BALANCED & UNBALANCED FORCES

These are Rolly's notes on balanced and unbalanced forces and how they cause objects in the universe to move, and the forces involved in motion of objects when they come in contact with other objects.

NOTES - The Scientific Method

NOTES - INQUIRY /
SCIENTIFIC METHOD

These are Rolly's notes on the scientific method and the processes of scientific inquiry. It has a breakdown all the different steps of the scientific method.

Notes - Lab Safety

NOTES - LAB SAFETY

These are Rolly's notes on Lab Safety. There is nothing here that is not on the Lab Safety Contract. In fact, the contract probably has more on it than these notes. I would study the contract if it were me.
