Organisms require a supply of energy and materials for which they are often dependent on or in competition with other organisms.

Organisms are organised on a cellular basis. Changing the movement of an object requires net force to be acting on it.

The total amount of energy in the Universe is always the same but energy can be transformed when things change or are made to happen.

The composition of the Earth and its atmosphere and the processes occurring within them shape the Earth’s surface and its climate

Organisms are organised on a cellular basis.

All material in the Universe is made of very small particles.

Organisms are organised on a cellular basis

Organisms require a supply of energy and materials (for which they are often dependent on or in competition with other organisms).

Genetic information is passed down from one generation of organisms to another. Diversity of organisms, living and extinct, is the result of evolution.

The composition of the Earth and it’s atmosphere and the processes occurring within them shape the Earth’s surface and it’s climate. Objects can affect other objects at a distance.
