Recent chemistry homeworks

Due tomorrow (Wednesday 13th) are answers to the questions on pages four to seven of this workbook:
Elements, Water and Organic Chemistry Questions.

The first three pages are worth having a go at too.

Last week's homework was to colour a periodic table to show the alkali metals, alkali Earth metals, transition metals, semi-metals, halogens and noble gases. You should also show how the reactivity of the elements in groups 1 and 7 varies up/down the groups.

Here is a periodic table to download if you don't have one.

The homework before that was a page of writing on the following:
"Describe how a hydrogen powered vehicle works, and evaluate the use of this fuel in vehicles such as cars."

ISA Glossary

Here is a link to the AQA How Science Works glossary - important to revise before your Section 1 ISA papers coming up next week.

Revision resources

This is a link to a blog filled with practice questions and answers based on the old Additional Science specification - http://cheneygcsesciencey11.blogspot.co.uk/

We don't have so many resources for the new specification, and it hasn't change hugely, so make use of these. Bear in mind that some content has been removed from B2, C2 and P2, and some has been added. You can check exactly what you need to know here:

The 'what's changed' tab shows what's gone in and come out of each topic.

RADIATION lesson 1

Dear 11yq, this is today's lesson.

Next time, more about NUCLEI!...

New Kerboodle material

Dear 11yq, new exciting revision material has been just created in KERBOODLE for your new RADIATION topic. The material is divided in 2 parts: ONLINE TESTS and DOWNLOADABLE.
The ASSIGNMENT won't be there for ever, and I would like to have it all done BEFORE our progress test in less than 2 weeks time.
See you in the classroom!
Dr. Pontecorvi

Physics trip opportunity

We have been given an exciting opportunity to take a group of students to a talk about The Higgs Boson at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.  This event takes place on Friday 7^thDecember.  It will begin at 1.30am and we should be back in school by 4.00pm. It is entitled “The Higgs Boson: a weight off all our minds” and is given by Dr William Murray – from STFC and CERN.  It is open to Y11 and there are only 14 places, so it is first come first served.

Please collect a letter from Ms Hamnett and return to the school shop
