Ohm's law: V = IR; electrical power P = VI = I²R = V²/R.
Water boils at 100 °C and freezes at 0 °C at 1 atm; density of water is 1 g/cm³.
Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, occurring in chloroplasts.
pH below 7 is acidic, 7 is neutral, above 7 is basic; litmus turns red in acid, blue in base.

Mathematics
Area formulas: rectangle lb, triangle ½bh, circle πr², trapezium ½(a+b)h.
Volume: cuboid lbh, cylinder πr²h, sphere (4/3)πr³, cone (1/3)πr²h.
Pythagoras: in a right triangle, a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.
Simple interest = PRT/100; compound amount A = P(1 + R/100)^T.
Average = sum of values ÷ number of values; speed = distance ÷ time.
