We will start unit 3 this week.  The beginning of this unit will cover neurobiology.  Learning grid for week 8 is in your HHB Team.  Please see grid for all your work.  There will be a live lesson on Wednesday P2 and 3.  Plus a tutorial on Friday P2. A “drop in” will be available to any HHB with their teacher on Friday P6, to cover any aspects of the work they may have difficulty with.  The “drop in” will also look at past paper questions from 1.2.

This week pupils will investigate the life cycle of the parasitic infection Schistosomiasis and viral life cycles.  Pupils will then begin to learn about transmission, virulence and ways that the immune system defends against parasitic attack.

Please complete the assignment posted on your biology team by Thursday 4th March.

This week pupils will begin to work on the Ecosystems topic.  Pupils will have recorded lessons and extended response questions to complete before their tutorial on Thursday.

A reminder of the work that has to be completed this week. All documents can be found on your class Team.

1. Watch the recorded PowerPoint (mp4) on forming ions. This has less slides than the main PowerPoint so after watching this please then access the PowerPoint and complete all tasks within this. There are a few video’s to watch, some notes to copy and some examples to try.
2. Attend the live sessions. I will be holding 2 sessions this week (from your feedback I have adapted the times to make sue that they don’t clash with other subjects)
   • Tuesday @9.45am – this will be a live lesson and I will go through how Ions are formed
   • Thursday @9am – This will be a tutorial. I will have some examples for us to work through and also there will be a chance for you to ask any questions.
3. Complete homework exercise 4 by Thursday this week as I will spend some time at the tutorial going over these answers and will also post the answers on the Team after this.
4. Complete the quiz – once again this will be posted as an assignment that your teacher will give you feedback on. I will post this after the tutorial on Thursday, so you have time to complete it by the end of the week.
