If very much of this is too new, or too tough, maybe this is not the class for you
Laws and the Scientific Method
Through to Dogma and Stagnation
Matter: stuff which has mass and occupies space
Conservation of matter
4 States of Matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma
Absolute zero and temperature scales
Gravity: a property of all matter
Einstein and beyond: space vs. nothing
Stuff: Elements & the Periodic Chart
Describe in detail
Only 8 really matter (98.5%). Importance of oxygen (46%/94%) & silicon

All this stuff is doin' something got to be able to describe what's going on
Units: SI and English
Scientific Notation
Units & Dimensional Analysis
Mass: the amount of matter in a body
Does not change with location
Weight: mass in a given place, relative to gravity
Does change with location
Area: a 2-dimensional value
Volume: a 3-dimensional value
How much space occupied by a mass
Density: mass per unit volume
To summarize...
Mass = How Much Volume = How Big Density = How Tightly Packed
Air and Water Pressure
Energy: potential (mgh) and kinetic (mv^2/2)
Vectors and Vector addition
Speed vs. Velocity: scalar vs. vector
Acceleration/Deceleration: vector
