Week 1:

You are to make a poster (either on paper or digital) showing your learning of the last topic. Use pictures or YOUR OWN WORDS to show the following learning objectives on your poster.

Parts of a wave.
Parts of the eye.
The 8 types of energy.

Use the slides at the bottom of this page to remind you if you need help. Be as creative as possible!

Week 2

Famous Scientist research blog:

Name, age, hometown, alive/ dead.
What were they famous for?
Do we use any other their inventions today?
What are 2 random facts about your scientist?
Picture

Week 3:

Go on to the following site and find an experiment that interests you, try to find one which uses things that you can easily find around the house.

https://www.weareteachers.com/easy-science-experiments/

Write up a scientific blog for the experiment you've chosen to do.

Aim: What's the point of the experiment?

Method: Steps you followed.

Results: Picture of final product

Discussion: Try explaining the science behind the experiment.

Conclusions: Did it work? Would you do anything differently next time?

Final Blog on Effect of Heat

The final assessment for this topic is to make a blog which shows your learning of the last 4 weeks. You need to show your learning of the following key ideas related to the mentioned experiments:

Contraction (Imploding can)
Expansion (ball and hoop)
Conduction (dropping pins)
Convection in liquid (permanganate crystal in water)
Convection in gas (tea bag rockets)

You need to talk about how heat affected the particles in each of these instances. Remember to include relevant pictures off the internet.

Use the notes you took during the experiments to help you write this blog.

House Project Term 4

Science (Electricity) learning objectives:

To be able to define electricity terms (Eg voltage, current).

To be able to calculate current and voltage in a circuit.

Math (Algebra and Measurement) learning objectives:

Substituting into equations.

Rearranging equations.

Measuring areas of different shapes.

Choose house floor plan

You can choose to make your house plan on paper or digitally. First step is to choose your base house plan, depending on what level you are aiming for and recreate it on either paper or digitally.

Working towards the level (WL):

Working at the level (AL):

Level Exceeded (LE)

Decorate

Decide what types of rooms you have in your house (dining room, indoor pool, cinema) and decorate accordingly.

Allocate your bulbs in lines with the arrows on the house plan. Depending on the house plan you picked.

WT house plan

WL = 5 bulbs
AL = 7 bulbs
LE = 9 bulbs

AL house plan

WL = 6 bulbs
AL = 8 bulbs
LE = 10 bulbs

LE house plan

WL = 8 bulbs
AL = 10 bulbs
LE = 12 bulbs

Calculate

Knowing that the main power supply is 200 Volts and the resistance of each bulb is 25 Ohms.

Total area of the house.
The voltage and current of each bulb in the house,
The total current of the whole house.

Your working out should be shown.

Report

Aim: What is the aim of this project?

Method: What template did you pick and how many bulbs? What rooms did you give your house?

Results: Area and Ohm’s Law calculations (Picture of house)

Discussion: What do the terms voltage, current, resistance mean? How did you do the calculations? Do the calculations make sense?

Conclusion: Did you enjoy the project? Would you do anything differently if you were to do it again? Different level? Number of bulbs?

Bonus Inclusions

What is a fuse? How does it work?
Design a back garden using different shaped areas to equal 30m2. What vegetables would you plant in it for this time of year? Why?
Discuss what scientist invented the idea of electricity? How did he come up with the idea? When?
