Physics P8 - Space, Bio P5 - Indicator species

Today we're going to be doing one of three things:

1. Physics P8. We started this yesterday, but some people haven't handed it in yet. Complete on a powerpoint and Mr. Cole will save it to print.
2. Bio P5. Some people haven't drawn the graphs to show how the the levels of pollution indicators. if not, this is your job for today.
3. If you've finished with those two assignments, these questions will help you revise for the electricity section with Mr. Lawrence:

1. What is resistance in a circuit?
2. Copy Ohm's Law into your books, including the units.
3. What are 2 things that affect the current in a circuit? (Use the image above)
4. Draw the symbols for a battery, light bulb, ammeter and voltmeter
5. What do series and parallel circuits mean?
6. How do ammeters get connected to a circuit?
7. Show what a voltmeter connected to a circuit should look like using circuit symbols (use the link above):
8. What is the unit for resistance?
9. How could you calculate the resistance in a circuit?
10. Try this activity.
11. Complete this challenge. What charges attract and repel each other?
12. Watch this video. Why is static electricity dangerous?

Feedback, physics P8

Today we're going to do some different things, the first one is a survey about this subject so far. It's anonymous and I'd really value hearing your feedback and what you think about the course. You can tell us more if you like, and not answering questions is fine too!

1. What have you enjoyed about science so far this year?
2. How would you feel about catch up sessions after school if you were behind with coursework?
3. What would you change or like to improve in class?
4. Do you think there should be a consequence if people don't hand in assignments on time?
5. How do you think we could improve attendance at school?
6. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Once you've finished, print your work out and place it in the folder for Mr. Cole. Thank you!

Once you've done that, Mr. Cole will give you your work that has been marked so far. You should print off the assignment sheets so that it can be formally marked. Please make sure you write your name on each sheet to save time!

Physics P8
For physics P8, you need to show the order of the planets in our solar system, as well as their relatve sizes and info about each one. To do this, work from the 'physics Assignment 3 task 1' post further down this page. Instead of a psoter, we will work in a powerpoint.
