1 Conservation of Mass and Energy The properties of matter are determined by the arrangement of atoms Topic focuses on the empirical evidence for the arrangements of atoms on the Energy can be transformed from one form to another or Periodic Table of Elements, conservation can be transferred from one location to another, but is of mass and energy, transformation and never lost. transfer of energy. Energy can be transferred through a variety of ways

2 Cycles and Patterns of Earth and the The hydrolytic cycle illustrates the changing states of Moon water as it moves through the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Topic focuses on Earth’s hydrolytic cycle, patterns that exist in atmospheric Thermal energy transfers in the ocean and the atmosphere and oceanic currents, the relationship contribute to the formation of currents, which influence between thermal energy and the currents, global climate patterns. and the relative position and movement of the Earth, sun and moon.

3 Earth and Space (continued) The atmosphere has different properties at different elevations and contains a mixture of gases that cycle through the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.

The relative patterns of motion and positions of the Earth, moon and sun cause solar and lunar eclipses, tides, and phases of the moon. 4 Cycles of Matter and Flow of Energy Matter is transferred continuously between one organism to another and between organisms and their physical Topic focuses on the impact of matter and environments. energy transfer within the biotic component of ecosystems. In a particular biome, the number, growth and survival of organisms and populations depend on biotic and abiotic factors.
