This week pupils will be learning about the cardiac cycle. A PowerPoint has been recorded so that students can watch and listen to their teacher explaining the stages of the cardiac cycle at a time suitable to them. Pupil notes and homework 6, covering this work is due for Tuesday 19th Jan.

Students should join the tutorial on Wednesday Period 3 so that any issues about this week’s work can be addressed. Students will need to submit their assignment on the cardiac cycle before Thursday 21st.

On Friday 22nd a live lesson will occur at 9am to look at “The Conducting System of the Heart”.

For Week 2  WB 18/1/21

Higher Chemistry students will continuing with their work on Unit 3 – Getting the Most Reactants. We will be focussing on “Gas Volume” calculations.

There is a recorded lesson, recordings of calculations and live tutorial on Friday followed by the weekly assignment. Great effort from all so far. Keep it up.

Pupils are continuing with unit two’s synthesis topic. Mr Choi is hosting live lessons every period you would usually be in Chemistry.

Pupils have started Unit 2 and are working on Alkanes and Alkenes. Mr Choi is hosting live lessons every period you would usually be in Chemistry.

Pupils should complete the following tasks:

• Consolidation this week attempting given Electricity Past Paper Questions
• Weekly tutorials with Mr Phairs Thursday 1&2, 5&6
• Live Lesson Tuesday – Factors affecting capacitors charging and discharging, electrons at work.

• Quiz will be available in assignments on Monday 18th, to be submitted for Wednesday 20th.
• Tutorial Thursday 21st October 3&4

 

Live Higher Chemistry and Physics support sessions. These look like a good resource if you get a chance log in and attend.

All S1 Science classes will be working through and Acids topic over the next 3 weeks. They will be working through a PowerPoint presentation completing tasks, watching videos and there is a few simple home experiments for them to try. Once this is completed they with have a research task to complete and a quiz set so that teachers can see how they are getting on with home learning.

Remember the Science staff are here to help so if you have any questions at all please get in touch either through the teams page where all the work is being posted or you can e-mail the class teacher.

Good luck!
