| How to find the Density | Density is found by dividing the mass by volume. D = m/v |
| What is an element? | An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom. It cannot be broken down into simpler substances |
| What is the function of the nucleus? | The nucleus controls cell activities and stores DNA. |
| What is the function of the cytoplasm? | The cytoplasm is the watery substance containing sugars and salts inside the cell. |
| What is the function of the vacuole? | The vacuole is the fluid filled space inside the cell. |

| Chemical VS Physical reactions | A chemical reaction is a reaction between two substances that produces a new substance. Often hard to reverse. A physical reaction is a reaction that produces no new substances. |
| What is a molecule? | A molecule is a two or more atoms joined together by chemical bonds. |
| What is a mixture? | A mixture is a combination of different atoms or molecules which can be broken down into its elements. |
| What is a compound? | A compound is a pure substance made up of a combination of different elements in a fixed ratio which can be broken down into its elements by chemical reactions. |
