Homework 1 from the cells topic is due within the week –

1D3 – due in Thursday 11th May

1G3 due in next Monday, 15th May

The homework sheet is available below –

Using a Microscope Homework 1

1D3 and 1G3 are now experts in using the microscope, preparing materials to look at under the microscope and drawing what they see accurately. We have made a fantastic scientific discovery – living things are made up of much smaller units called cells. These cells all have similarities in their structure, but may be different in shape, size, form and arrangement depending on what they do.

The next part of the topic is to look at cells – what makes cells different in animals and plants? What are the parts of the cell and what do they do? What makes different cells suited to the jobs they do?

I have enjoyed this topic because it has been fun and interesting. My favourite experiment was the separating iron from sulphur

i have enjoyed this topic because i got to do lots of different experiments and work individualy  and in groups it also improved my confidence in doing experiments

I really enjoyed this topic on Chemical reactions it was very enjoyable with all the experiments that we had to do ,

This Term Our topics were based on chemical reactions. I personally enjoyed learning about this and learning about the periodic table.

From Monday, 1D3 and 1G3 will be starting the new topic on Microscopes, cells and inheritance.

We start off with learning how to use a microscope and how to prepare living material for viewing. You will even be looking at some of your own cells!

The teaching materials for the start of the topic are shown below –

1D3 and 1G3 have now completed the Chemical Reactions topic by completing their small scale distillation experiments. We are waiting for MM to post the photos.

1D3 are sitting the test next Tuesday and 1G3 next Wednesday. Both classes have been issued with revision sheets for the topic. The homework, for the day of the test, is to provide evidence on the sheets that they have been doing active revision – highlighting, underlining or key words, making up vocabulary lists, making extra notes on the sheets or changing the format of the information (e.g. text to mind map). The sheets – including this evidence – will be taken in on the day of the test as a homework exercise.

Revision sheets are included below –

1D3 and 1G3 have been working on posters to show how the atoms of different elements combine to form compounds. One group also went on to show what happens to the atoms in a compound when it is broken back down into its elements.

Here are some of the posters –
