Alloy 3 is a mixture of metals e.g. bronze is a mixture of copper and tin.
Alloys =4 to know • Bronze = • Copper and Tin • Brass = • Copper and Zinc • Solder = • Lead and Tin • Steel = • Iron and Carbon
Acid • has pH less than 7 • turns blue litmus paper RED • sour taste
Area W = length X width cm2 L
Atom smallest part of an element that has the properties of the element.
Atomic Number The number of protons in an atom (of an element)
A.C. Alternating Current Electricity that changes direction 50 times a second (50 Hz)
Aerobic Respiration Using oxygen to release energy from food in all cells
Acceleration = change in velocity time taken Units = m/s2
Anther makes pollen in a flower (male part)
Antagonistic Muscles pairs of muscles that pull a bone in opposite directions e.g. biceps and triceps
Asexual Reproduction Reproduction using just one parent producing identical offspring (young) e.g. cuttings or runners in plants
Atmospheric Pressure • The weight of the atmosphere (air) pressing down on earth. • Gets smaller as you climb higher • Measured by BAROMETER
A.C. • Aerobic Respiration • Acceleration • Anther • Antagonistic Muscles • Asexual Reproduction • Atmospheric Pressure • Do I know it?? • Alloy • 4 examples of alloys • Acid • Area • Atom • Atomic Number
