Inherited Traits: Traits passed from parents to children, like eye color or height.
- Example: If both parents have brown eyes, their child might also have brown eyes.
Acquired Traits: Traits developed due to the environment or experiences.
- Example: Learning to ride a bicycle or getting a scar from a cut.

Definition: Energy that comes from heat.

Definition: A form of energy that makes things warm or hot.
- Example: Cooking food on a stove uses heat energy.
Transfer Methods:
- Conduction: Heat moves through solid objects.
  - Example: A metal spoon getting hot from a boiling pot.
- Convection: Heat moves through liquids and gases.
  - Example: Warm air rising and cool air sinking in a room.
- Radiation: Heat moves through space without touching anything.
  - Example: Feeling the warmth from the sun on your skin.

Definition: Substances with specific properties used in reactions.
- Example: Water (H₂O) is a chemical made of hydrogen and oxygen.
Uses: Cleaning, cooking, medicine, and more.
