Year 9: Summer 2022

More recently, Chemistry has made way for Physics and some groups are currently learning about energy stores and transfers whilst others are developing their knowledge of electricity - investigating the resistance in a wire and the factors that affect resistance help us to understand what happens in a filament lamp! After May half term we will be returning to biology and will look at the body's defence systems by completing the Infection and Response topic.

Miss Brown's group have been investigating the I-V characteristics of different components - this requires the boys to construct a circuit and take various readings from the ammeter and voltmeter so they can calculate the resistance and see how resistance is affected when the current is varied.
