Species Research homework: Due Wednesday 15th

This expedition we are working with Potteric Carr to produce a field guide.

All students have been given a different species today that can be found at Potteric Carr. Their homework is to research this species and produce a research document on it for next Wednesday.  A sample document and the homework document can be found on Google Classroom.

Reminder to parents and students: The Chefistry revision homework that was set for completion over half term is due to be completed on Monday 2nd March. The MyMaths and I am Learning homework has been set to help students to prepare for their test. Students should refer to Google Classroom for extra help and guidance and see Mr Said and Mr Voltaire’s blog. Students are reminded to mark work as ‘done’ n Google Classroom to avoid being marked as late.
Many thanks

CHEFISTRY REVISION

CHEFISTRY REVISION.

You will be sitting the test in your Music X-Block in the first week back. 

You have been set a number of I AM LEARNING and MyMaths exercises.

There are also lots of links and advice in the announcements further down this stream.

What has chemistry got to do with boiling an egg? Chefistry: Admiral

LT: I can plot positive and negative points on x and y axes.

You will be expected to plot some given points on axes.

LT: I can backwards plan using units of time.

You will be expected to work with given time values to work out how to cook a specific meal.

LT: I can comment upon experimental observations in terms of percentage change.

You will be expected to be able to calculate 1% and 10% of any whole number. The use these two values to work out any percentage between 2% and 99%.

Remember:

To calculate 10% of an amount, divide by 10.

To calculate 1% of an amount, divide by 100.

LT: I can calculate the volume of simple 3D shapes.

You will be expected to know the formulae and calculate volumes of cuboids and cylinders. This means you will also need to know the formula for area of a circle.

LT: I can compare and contrast states of matter using the particle model.

There will be questions on the test asking you to draw and comment upon diagrams. You will also be expected to know the properties of each state i.e density, whether they can be compressed, if they strong weak or no bonds etc.

LT: I can explain the difference between atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures.

LT: I can explain how diffusion happens using the particle model.

LT: I can explain how molecules mix in a solution using the particle model.

There will be questions on the test asking you to draw diagrams. You will be expected to be able to explain diffusion (i.e. why could we smell the toast?) and dissolving (i.e. where did the salt crystal go?)

Admiral Homework – Wednesday 7th Jan

Learning Target: I can plot positive points on x and y axes

In Maths Books:
Plot the data for T1 and T2 (data from Heating Curve of ice experiment is in Science Journal Books)
Add labels and units to the x axis
Add labels and units to the y axis
Add a legend showing which line is from which data set

The homework is due in tomorrow’s STEM lesson after break.

Admiral Homework – Friday 12th Dec

Students have to finish the glossary for their site report in Google Drive. I have put key terms in bold in the body of their text. They need to make sure all of these terms are explained in their glossary. The deadline is Tuesday at 8pm.
