There are four types of forces: Gravitational Electromagnetic Weak Nuclear Strong Nuclear

Science: Motion Motion is an act of changing position with respect to a reference point. It can be measured by: speed (scalar quantity) – m/s, km/hr, mi/s (magnitude)  velocity (vector quantity) – m/s eastward (magnitude direction)  acceleration – m/s 2 , km/hr 2 Laws of Motion Law of Inertia The resistance to change in motion Law of Acceleration directly proportional with force and inversely proportional with mass; a=F/m Law of Interaction for every action, there is equal / opposite reaction Law of Universal Gravitation G=6.67 x 10 -11 F=GM 1 M 2 /d 2 W=mg

Science: Astronomers and their Contributions Ptolemy, Claudius – Geocentric model (earth-centered) Copernicus, Nicholaus – Heliocentric model (uniform circular motion) Tycho Brahe – astronomical instrument Johannes Kepler – Law of Orbit, Law of Equal Areas, Law of Period Galileo Galilei – telescope, thermometer, compass, pendulum, satellite of Jupiter Isaac Newton – Law of Inertia, Law of Acceleration

Measurement is a process of comparing unknown quantity with a standard. (7) Seven Fundamental Quantities 1. length – meter 2. mass – kilogram 3. time – seconds 4. temperature – Kelvin 5. amount of substance – mole 6. electric current – ampere 7. luminous – candela

The Scientific Method Identify the problem Observation Senses (quality) Measure (quantify) Gather data (table, chart, graph, diagram) Formulate the Hypothesis (wise guess) Experiment Independent variable Dependent variable Interpret Draw Conclusion Recommendation/Application

Filipino or English: Which language should I use for this blog? I am wondering which language should I use for this blog. Looking back to my real purpose of creating this site is to share my notes to Filipino students. So it should be in Filipino. However, we simply cannot write Math or Science in pure Filipino because there are so many English terms that don't have Filipino translation. I am thinking of posting both Filipino and English version of every topic whenever possible. Though it may take so much time, I think that is much better and it would help those who search for what they needed. I hope Google would easily search my blog so it will list on top 10 searches. It means I'm getting the writings on the right format. I need to ponder this for a while so I can actually come up with a much precise solution. You, dear reader, do you have any idea or suggestion on how I can improve this? Any comments are welcome! Thank you so much! ~Angel Filipino Translation:

Read. Read. Read. I didn't say that you have to read every book that you would encounter, or that you have to read 24 hours a day. Actually, I remember a quote I once read through chain text messages and it goes like this: "Read anything 5 hours a week, and you'll soon be learned." by Samuel Johnson. He's right, isn't he? When you are traveling from home to school and you happen to pass by poster hanging on some establishments, read what it says. When log on to Facebook and browse some fan pages, read their information. When you are looking at a college brochure, read it from top to bottom. Just read. you can always learn something. Anyways, I would like to share to you my reading habit. This habit actually makes me earn more English vocabulary. This also helps me in making English sentences, especially in making conversations. I read Sir Nicholas Sparks ' novels. His stories are love stories enveloped in a simple southern life of Nort

Tip No. 3: Practice Makes It Common We always say that practice makes perfect. Actually, I'd rather say that practice makes it common. Let's put it like this: How many times do you actually write your name before it seemed like the easiest thing to write? Or how many times have you made a coffee for yourself? We have written our names since we started to go to school, so whenever we write our name, it seemed like we can write it even with our eyes closed. I have made myself a cup of coffee every now and then, and even though I don't have a rule on how many teaspoons of sugar or creamer was right for the kind of coffee that I want, I always get the same taste that I learned to appreciate. When you make things so common in your life by putting it on a daily routine, doing in a regular basis, thinking about it more often, or appreciating it as a valuable thing, you wouldn't even recognize that you actually know so much about it.

Tips for Capturing Photos How can we improve our photography skills? Well, just so you know, I am not a professional photographer. But here are some tips that I learned in school. These are options you can choose when conceptualizing your shots. Capture a moment  If you see it, shoot it  Back off and show the terrain  Get closer  Watch the background  Try different angles  Put people in landscapes  Shoot at sunrise and sunset  Combine blur and sharpness  Keep your camera still  Blur the action  Stop the motion  Get super closer  Look for telling/speaking details  Give more space to where the subject is pointing

Interview with Anastacio “Tato” Padua about his experiences and insights during the Japanese period Tato [my grandfather], who was ten (10) years old during the Japanese period started in 1941, is silent before he spoke; his mind drifting back to the past and we knew enough not to interfere his thoughts. Though he is not a soldier during those times, he, like the ones who witnessed the Japanese occupation in the Philippines, has something to tell. Later, when the interview started, we let him speak his mind with the least interruptions of some questions. And here is his story. TATO : Lahat ng mga pagkain sa Maynila, lahat ng pagkain natin [mga Pilipino], kinuha nila. Wala naman kasi silang dala nu’n [na pagkain]. Apat na taon sila nandito, 1941 hanggang 1945, wala namang dumarating sa kanilang pagkain, ‘yung pagkain sa Maynila ang kinakain nila. Interviewer : Nasa Maynila ba kayo noon? TATO : Oo, pero umuwi kami dito nu’n nakakariton lang kami. Lahat ng gamit namin doon naka
