Mrs Gardners Biology Homework


Hi!

Here is the homework for this week and for half-term for my Biology classes:




Year 13: Please complete the excretion questions for Wednesday. Remember you are working on your presentations in your double lesson to show on Thursdays lesson. Half-term homework is to make notes on chemical regulation by hormones plus revise excretion for a test.

Year 12: Despite rumours to the contrary you have to do all the questions EXCEPT the one I mentioned, not the other way round. These MUST be done for Friday. Also do not forget there is a short test on test on the molecules we have covered so far. Half-term homework will be to complete the booklet of molecule exam questions.

Year 11: Coursework experiment is due in on Thursday. Multiple-choice test will be set on Friday covering the Coordination chapter. Half-term homework will be to complete Homeostasis booklet.

Year 10: Half-term homework: Complete the osmosis in potatoes write-up. This is due in on the Tuesday lesson after half-term. This is a difficult one so feel free email to eicscience@gmail.com to this post asking for help.
Also note that the homework that will be set on that Tuesday will be to revise chapter 2 for a test on the Thursday after half-term.

Year 9: Homework this week will be to carry on producing resources for the current project. Deadline for this is Friday. Half-term homework is to visit this site:

www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/index_interactivebody.shtml


Complete the organs game and email me your score at eicscience@gmail.com (I got 40% when I did because it is so fiddly to get the rotation and the position precisely right) and your most interesting fact for an organ (look in the top right hand window for the facts for each organ). Make sure you sign your name so I know you have completed it (and be honest!).
Have a look around the site and play a few of the other games.

Have fun and enjoy half-term. I will check in for any emails (see the email address above) over half-term if anyone needs help.

Welcome to the EIC Science blog


Hi!
Welcome to the Science departments blog. At the moment we just have one blog for all three Science subjects. However if this proves useful and popular we will expand it to individual subject blogs. We will publish articles by students and teachers, all of which you can comment on. Also homeworks for the week may be added so that you can always find out what you need to do...even if you have been away (bet you are really thrilled by that). Any ideas you may have for the blog please feel free to add a comment to this post with suggestions. Note that it is moderated and anonymous comments are frowned on. Please respect this resource.
Meanwhile have fun researching the periodic table and completing the polls. Theoretically all the answers should be correct if you use the periodic table research facility correctly. Just click on an element and then click on the link saying more and this will take you to the full table (in a new window). Also check out the pictures and news feeds at the bottom of the page, plus the wikipedia search facility.
Have fun!
Mrs Gardner
