An image that illustrates light reflecting off a plain mirror.

An explanation of how LOL diagrams allow us to visually represent what we mean by conservation of energy as well as what we mean by an energy system.

Managing time involves accurately predicting how much time it will take to do a task, and then setting aside that amount of time to complete it. Managing time is much more difficult than it may seem, which is why there are entire courses of study and research on the best approaches. But if you develop a method to undertake each component, you’ll be successful.

In this chapter, you will learn why it is important to identify a reference frame in order to clearly describe motion. For now, the motion you describe will be one-dimensional. Within this context, you will learn the difference between distance and displacement as well as the difference between speed and velocity. Then you will look at some graphing and problem-solving techniques.

By the end of this short course, you will be able to:

• Multiply integers
• Divide integers
• Simplify expressions with integers
• Evaluate variable expressions with integers
• Translate English phrases to algebraic expressions
• Use integers in applications

• Use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in multiple contexts.
• Explain the meaning of positive values, negative values, and zero, in multiple contexts.
• Describe the location of a point on a number line with respect to another number.
• Describe the location of a point on a number line with respect to its opposite
• Define the absolute value of a number as its distance from zero.
• Interpret inequality statements as statements about the relative position of two integers on a number line diagram.

Outcomes

In this unit you will learn that: 

• Osmosis is the movement of a liquid from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until it reaches equilibrium.

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Osmosis helps regulate the flow of water in and out of cells, which is crucial to their function.

The particle model of matter is one of the most useful scientific models because it describes matter in all three states. Understanding how the particles of matter behave is vital if we hope to understand science!

The model also helps us to understand what happens to the particles when matter changes from one state to another.
