Luminous flame ( nyalaan berkilau )Luminous flame ( nyalaan berkilau )

Yellow flame ± air hole is closed Easy to see because it is luminous

Gives out a lot of soot ( jelaga )

Not so hot Not suitable for heating

NonNon± ±luminous flameluminous flame

(nyalaan tidak(nyalaan tidak berkilau)berkilau)

Blue flame when the air hole is open. Difficult to see because it is non-luminous

Does not give out soot

The flame is very hot It is suitable for heating

The concept of weight

1. The weight of an object is the pull of the

Earth on that object.

2. The S.I unit for weight is the newton (N)3. To measure the weight is spring balance.

The concept of massThe concept of mass

1. The mass of an object is the amount of matter in the object.

2. The mass on object does not change.

3. The S.I unit is kilogram (kg).

4. To measure mass is

a) lever balance

b) triple beam balance

c) electronic balance

The different between weight andThe different between weight and

massmass

1. The pull of the Earth 1. The amount matter

2. Not always the same 2. Always the same3. Measured by using

Spring Balance.

3. Measured by using a

triple-beam balance,a

lever balance,electronic

balance

4. Measured in newtons

4. Measured in kilogram

Measuring lenghtMeasuring lenght

1. The S.I unit is metre (m ),centimetre(cm),

milimetre(mm), and kilometre (km).

1 cm = 10 mm

1m = 100 cm

1 km = 1000 m

The metre rule ± short straight lines

The measuring tape ± long straight lines

Thread and metre rule ± curved line External ± external diameters

Internal calipers- internal diameters

1. Estimate the area of regular or irregular shape using graph paper.

2. Counted using the following method :

a) count the number of complete square

b) an incomplete square is counted if half

or more of the square is covered

c) do not count an incomplete square if

less than half.

1. To measure the volume of liquids, for example, water.

2.To measure the volume of a liquid:

a) measuring cylinder b) burette

c) pipette

3. We usually measure the volume in liquidmililitres(ml), volume of solid centimetres(cm).

Finding the volume of a regular Finding the volume of a regular

object and an irregular object usingobject and an irregular object using

the water displacement methodthe water displacement method..

1. The volume of a regular and an irregular object

can be measured by using the water

displacement method.

The volume of water displaced =(y-x) ml

The volume of the stone = The volume of water displaced = (y-x) ml

= (y-x) cm3
