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.
