Today we will be completing a powerpoint on the criteria lister on the 'Humans and Environment' task sheet. Use one slide for each effect on the environment, and use the internet to find the information you need.

Catch-up

Today we will be catching up on any old assignments that are incomplete, or upgrading marks.
You could look at:

• Completing the cartoon section for the space assignment (merit work)
• Looking at why reativity inreases as atomic number increases (distinction work)
• Making sure all your assignmet front sheets are named and signed

As always, leave anything that needs re marking with me in the red folder.
Ask me if you're no sure what to do!

Space Assignment

To write the paragrpah, you could start with 'There are three pieces of evidence that show the Universe is expanding.  The first one is..... (use the table at the bottom of the bitesize page to help you write about the three pieces of evidence).

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/aqa_pre_2011/radiation/originsrev2.shtml

Write them up in a word document and hand them to Mr. Cole at the end with your name on them.

Once you're done, try any of the activities on this site - http://www.nobelprize.org/educational/

Ohm's Law assignment

Today we will be finishing our Assignment on Ohm's Law. 

1. Find the photos on the school server ( W:\Science\Mr Cole\11y1 circuits ) and paste a few into your word document, then save and print it off.
2. If you haven't completed the drawing of the circuit or the questions about Ohm's Law, ask me for help.
3. After that, we need to think about finishing off any assignments that we ahven't already completed.  Go through your folders and find any bits you haven't done.  if you're up to date, find an assignment that you can do the merit work for.  Please ask me for help, but make sure you've read the question first.

Remember we only have two weeks until term finishes so use this time well!!!

Catch up/Ohm's Law

Today we will be continuing with the assignment we started yesterday, but you can also
FINISH OFF ANY PARTS OF ASSIGNMENTS YOU HAVEN"T COMPLETED.
If you know what this would be, feel free to go ahead. If you don't, use the tracking sheet on your folder and the comments on your assignments to help. Remember that there are lots of links on this blog to help you with different bits.

Assignment and new topic

Today we have a tiny bit more to do on the lat assignment before starting work on the next topic.  On paper that you already have in your assignment folders, answer the following questions:

1. Define relative atomic mass - http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryglossary/a/atomicmassdef.htm
2. Explain why the relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa_pre_2011/chemcalc/chemcalc_bothrev2.shtml

Once you've answered these, submit your assignment back to me so I can re-mark them. Next, answer the questions below that relate to the subject we are going to start on today, Humans and the Environment.

1. How many humans live on the Earth now? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15391515
2. From the link above, write down the number of births while you were on the site -

Assignment work

Today we will be continuing on our assignments from last week.  First of all, finish your table for the first pass criteria using the link below. 
Once you're done with that, make sure you've saved and printed your table and put it in your assignment pocket.
Secondly, use your assignment sheet to start on the next criteria for task 2.  You will need to use the same tbale link - http://ptable.com/ to name the elements in group 1 (on the left hand side) and group 7 (second from the right). 
For the different reactions of sodium, use these links - http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_Chemical_equation_for_sodium_added_to_water , http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Whats_the_balanced_equation_when_sodium_reacts_with_chlorine_to_form_sodium_chloride , http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Word_equation_for_sodium_and_oxygen

This site will help you answer the last question about how reactivity changes as you move down the group - http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/group1/reacth2o.html

Atoms Assignment

Today we will be completing some more work for our assignment. For p3, you will need to complete the following table -
Element     Symbol     Atomic number     Mass number     Electronic structure


Use this link - http://www.ptable.com/ to find the information you need and enter it into an excel table.  If you finish early, let me know and you can start on the next section.
This link will help you with the mass numbers, or use the 'weight' part of the interactive table. - http://nobel.scas.bcit.ca/chem0010/unit3/3.1.3_numNeutrons.htm
