Welcome to Applied Science!

We are looking forward to working with you. Applied Science will require you to build upon your knowledge from GCSE in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics but also involves some coursework modules.

Task 1: Chemistry

Identify how many protons, electrons, and neutrons there are in each of these elements and draw electron diagrams for each

1. Lithium

2. Oxygen

3. Aluminium

4. Calcium

Research what s, p, and d orbitals are and how many electrons each can hold

Task 2: Biology

Draw and label a plant cell to include all of these parts. You need to describe the functions of each part as well

1. Nucleus

2. Mitochondria

3. Cell membrane

4. Cell wall

5. Vacuole

6. Chloroplast

7. Ribosome

8. Endoplasmic reticulum

9. Golgi apparatus

10. Lysosomes

11. Centrioles

Task 3: Physics

Draw a transverse wave and label these parts:

1. Wavelength

2. Peak

3. Trough

4. amplitude

Research 3 uses and 3 dangers of the electromagnetic spectrum

Task 4: Science Skills

Define these terms

1. Independent variable

2. Dependent variable

3. Control variable

Design a method for how to investigate whether pH of soil affects the height of a plant
