CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA =πr²(adjective+noun): The area of what you see when you cut through the middle of something so that you can see its layers. • If a cable’s cross-sectional area increases, it can carry more elecricity safely.
SURFACE AREA (noun+noun): The amount of surface that is in contact with the air • To find the surface area of a cylinder, you need to add the top, bottom and side areas together.
SMALL-SECTION (adjective): Something that has a small cross-sectional area • A group of small section cables are used in power lines
LARGE-SECTION (adjective): Something that has a large cross-sectional area • We are changing the pipes in our house. We are replacing then with large-section pipes.
WEIGHT (noun): how heavy something is, which can be measured in kilograms • She is trying to lose weight.
WEIGH (verb): To have a particular weight • You need to weigh your luggage before going to the airport.
MASS (noun): The quantity of material that something contains which can be measured in kilograms or Newtons. Weight is used in non-technical language for this meaning. • The mass of an object is the same on Earth and Moon, but the weight of an object is different.
GRAVITY (noun): The force that attracts objects in space towards each other and pulls them towards the centre of Earth • Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
WEIGHTLESS (adjective): Having no weight because there is no gravity • Astronauts work in weightless conditions.
VOLUME (noun): The amount of space that an object fills. It is measured in m³ . • There are jars of different volumes in the kitchen.
DENSITY (noun): The amount of matter in a certain volume of space and it is measured by mass per unit of volume • Density can be changed by pressure or temperature.
DENSE (adjective): Having high density • As you go up a mountain, the air becomes less dense.
LIGHTWEIGHT (adjective): not heavy • I bought a new lightweight bike.
Tic-Tac-Toe Directions: Divide the class into two teams (Xs and Os). Draw a grid on the board. Ask the X group to answer one of the questions. If they get it right, Put an X on the grid. Do the same for group O. The group with a row of Xs or Os win. Books are closed.
