They are called  energy food  becausethey help us become alert and energetic. They make us always on the go. Go foods are rich in carbohydrates. Grow Food Grow food helps us grow fast. They make us grow tall and strong, too. They make us become bigger because they are rich in protein. Grow foods repair broken tissues in our body. These kinds of foods belong to the group of grow foods, also called  body-building foods.  Chicken, fish, pork, and beef are example of foods in this group. Glow Food Fruits and vegetables are glow foods. They are rich inminerals  and vitamins. These also fight sickness.  Vitamins   protect you from variuous diseases.  Fruits  like kalamansi and fuava are very rich in vitamin C. They help o...

Matter

According to Chem4Kids, " Matter  is everything around you. Matter is anything made of atoms and molecules. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. If you are new to the idea of mass, it is the amount of stuff in an object. We talk about difference between mass and weight in another section. Matter is sometimes related to light and electromagnetic radiation." 5 STATES OF MATTER States of Matter  are the different forms in which matter exists.  Be Condenstates Solid Liquid Gases Plasma  is found in stars and between planets, stars, and systems of every galaxy  PROPERTIES OF MATTER Physical Properties - The measurement of mass and other characteristics that can be seen without changing how that object looks are its physical properties. Mass Color Shape Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. Density  is the mass of a substance per unit volume.  Chemical Properties - These are properties that can only be obs...

GREGOR JOHANN MENDEL

GREGOR JOHANN MENDEL (July 22, 1822 - January 6, 1884) Austrian Botanist and Plant Experimenter SUMMARY: One hundred years ago in Austria a man of medium height, corpulent figure, high forehead and friendly blue eyes, was engaged in teaching physics and natural history at the Brunn Modern School. His grab distinguished him as a Catholic priest and member of the Augustinian order. He was Gregor Mendel, a man interested in all aspects of natural science. As a teacher, his exposition was clear and luminous. He aimed more at stimulating interest than imparting facts.  His pupils concurred in praising his method of instruction, his justice and his kindness. These traits won the praise of his contemporaries, but his permanent fame rests on his experiments and discoveries in biology. In his monastery garden he followed carefully for many years the results of the hybridization of plants. His painstaking method and penetrating observation led to the discovery of the basic laws ...

What are Characterisitcs of Liquids?

According to Chem4Kids, " Liquids  are in-between state of matter. They can be found between the solid and gas states." WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LIQUIDS? Have definite mass and volume but indefinite shape Liquid are fluid Liquids, like gases, undergo diffusion when mixed. Liquids are usually considered incompressible Liquids, unlike gases, have a distinct surface -- they need not take their container's shape.

What are Solids?

According to Solid Basics, " Solids  are usually hard, because their molecules have been packed together. The key is that the solid hold their shape  and they don't flow like a liquid .
