One Dimensional Motion

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

By one dimension, one means motion along a line, or in one particular direction. Think of a car going down a straight road, or a person running on a straight track.   Types of Motion: 1.Translational :An example is a car traveling on a highway. 2.Rotational :An example is the Earth’s spin on its axis. 3.Vibrational :An example is the back-and-forth movement of a pendulum.   The object’s position is its location with respect to a chosen reference point.

Magnetism

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Magnetism is the force of attraction or repulsion in and around a material. Magnetism is present is all materials but at such low levels that it is not easily detected. Certain materials such as magnetite, iron, steel, nickel, cobalt and alloys of rare earth elements, exhibit magnetism at levels that are easily detectable.

Gravitational Force

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Gravitational force is not a force of contact. Any object on the Earth or at least close to Earth, will experience a gravitational force. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, yet it is the dominant force in the universe for shaping the large scale structure of galaxies, stars, etc.   Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is used to explain gravitational force .The law can be explained as : Every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two…

Archimedes Principle

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.   Through the video, we can learn: 1. When a body is partly or completely immersed in water, it loses weight. 2. A body loses its maximum weight when it is completely immersed in water. 3. When a body is partly or completely in water then:   Loss in weight of the body = Weight of water displaced by the body = Buoyant Force or up-thrust exerted by water on the body.   Volume of…

Newton’s First Law of Motion

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Newton’s first law of motion states that: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.   This law is really only a definition of force. It says that when a body is acted upon by an external resultant force it will accelerate. An object resting will remain at rest, permanently, so long as nothing pushes or even pulls onto it. An object within motion will remain in motion, driving a straight line, eternally, till something forces or…

Sound- Production and Propagation

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Sound is produced due to vibration of different objects. Sound travels as a longitudinal wave through a material medium.Sound travels as successive compressions and rarefactions in the medium. In sound propagation, it is the energy of the sound that travels and not the particles of the medium. Sound cannot travel in vacuum.

Plant Tissues

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

These tissues can be simple, consisting of a single cell type, or complex, consisting of more than one cell type. Above and beyond tissues, plants also have a higher level of structure called plant tissue systems. There are three types of tissue systems: dermal tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue systems.   In plants the tissues that transport things around the plant are called xylem and phloem.

Living and Non Living Beings

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

The living world is rich in variety. Millions of plants and animals have been identified and described but a large number still remains unknown. The very range of organisms in terms of size, colour, habitat, physiological and morphological features make us seek the defining characteristics of living organisms.

Rutherford’s Model of Atoms

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

The Rutherford model of the atom was simplified in a well known symbol showing electrons circling around the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. This symbol became popular and has been used by various organizations around the world as a symbol for atoms and atomic energy in general.   In 1908, Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the transmutation of elements and the chemistry of radioactive material.   The element ‘rutherfordium’ was named in Rutherford’s honor.

Functional Groups

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

In organic chemistry, functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reaction(s) regardless of the size of the molecule it is a part of. I

Acyclic Compounds

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Organic compounds are large class of compounds which contain carbon and hydrogen as the main constituent elements. For example, sugar, fatty acids and natural rubber are organic compounds.   One important class of organic compounds is acyclic compounds. They are also called open chain compounds, due to their open chain structure. Open chain compounds contain long carbon-carbon chains. Branching of such chains is possible. Consequently, more than one structure may be written for the same molecular formulae.   Acyclic compounds or open chain compounds can be further classified into saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Displacement Reaction

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Oxidation-reduction reactions (or redox) reactions, are a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.   Displacement reactions is one of the type of redox reactions, also known as replacement reactions, involve compounds and the “replacing” of elements. They occur as single replacement and double replacement reactions.

Chemical Equations

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

A chemical equation represents the way in which reactants form to make new substances. An accurate chemical equation has the correct ratio of reactants and products called Coefficients. These are the numbers in front of the reactant or product.   Two principles to remember while writing a chemical equation: 1. Every chemical compound has a formula which cannot be altered. 2. A chemical reaction must account for every atom that is used. This is an application of the Law of Conservation of Matter which states that in a chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.   To make a…

Chemical Reaction

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

A chemical reaction is when there is a change in the molecular makeup of a material. This can happen when two substances are combined to create a new substance. Chemical reaction rates can be increased or decreased by various factors such as concentration, temperature, surface area, and catalysts or inhibitors. The four types of chemical reactions that can occur are synthesis, decomposition, replacement, and ionic. Chemical reactions are also chemical change.   A physical change in a substance doesn’t change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and…

Allotropes of Carbon

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Allotropes are different physical forms of the same element. All elements are made up uniquely of their own atoms and therefore any physical differences must be a consequence of how the atoms are joined together – their arrangement within the bulk structure.   Many elements exhibit allotropy as there are often various ways in which the atoms can be linked together into molecules and also different ways in which the molecules can be arranged to make larger structures. The two most common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite.   The crystal structure of diamond is an infinite three-dimensional array…

Acids and Bases

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

By the 1884 definition of Svante Arrhenius (Sweden), an acid is a material that can release a proton or hydrogen ion (H +) and base, or alkali, is a material that can donate a hydroxide ion (OH-). By the definition of both Thomas Lowry (England) and J.N. Brønsted (Denmark) working independently in 1923, an acid is a material that donates a proton and a base is a material that can accept a proton. When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt.   Basically, if you’ve got something…

Laws of Chemical Combination

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

Chemical combination occurs in definite proportion by weight or by volume. Based on various experiments performed by different scientists, the laws of chemical combinations were formulated.   There are five laws of chemical combinations. The first four deal with combination of substances by weight and the fifth with combination of gases by volume.

Bohr’s Model of an Atom

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

In 1913 Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus. The motion of the electrons in the Rutherford model was unstable because, according to classical mechanics and electromagnetic theory, any charged particle moving on a curved path emits electromagnetic radiation; thus, the electrons would lose energy and spiral into the nucleus. To remedy the stability problem, Bohr modified the Rutherford model by requiring that the electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy. The energy of an electron depends on the size of the orbit and is…

Mixtures

In Atal Tinkering Labs ATL, More Info | No comment

A mixture is a substance made by combining two or more different materials in such a way that no chemical reaction occurs. A mixture can usually be separated back into its original components.   Most natural substances are mixtures. eg:Graphite   A homogeneous mixture has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. Many homogeneous mixtures are commonly referred to as solutions. A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances or phases. The three phases or states of matter are gas, liquid, and solid.
