Science Quiz 1 End of term is coming. This quiz comprises eight rounds of ten questions. Fully menu driven so you can do it in any order, the whole thing or just a couple of rounds. The slides in each round are timed so you can start it and leave it, with the ability to go back, mark after each round or at the end. Includes two sound rounds which students love. Challenging from year 7’s to staff!

OCR GCSE GATEWAY SCIENCE SUITE 2016 Electrical Cables Controlled Assessment Practical Preparation Additional science B B723 / Physics B753 / Further Additional Science B B763 Five experiments for students to prepare for controlled assessment. Suitable as a standalone double lesson or over a longer period with electrical resistance theory. 1 Tensile strength; 2 Resistance and type of metal; 3 Resistance and cross-sectional area; 4 Resistance and temperature; 5 Resistance and length. These experiments have been fully tested and work well with simple equipment from the prep room. I’ve done all the trial and error work for you! (Who’d have thought it takes 1.5-1.7 kg to break 36 swg constantan wire?) All variables covered allowing students to discover relationships with resistance or tensile strength. Experiment 4 enables students to write a meaningful risk assessment in due course. Curriculum

Extinction (Hybridisation of Wildcats) Biology GENETICS AND EVOLUTION Objectives Outline the process of extinction Give examples of endangered and extinct species Explain different causes of extinction Analyse the traits of different cats to estimate their genetic composition Consider the limitations of this phenotypic data Organisms are adapted to survive and compete in their environment. If the environment changes they can struggle to survive and reproduce If this happens to a whole species it can go extinct Causes of Extinction: catastrophic events, habitat change, over exploitation, alien invasion, disease, hybridisation Use a series of questions to evaluate photos of cats and identify wildcats. Complete the table for each of the four cats using the trait descriptors. Total the scores and decide which cats are wildcats, hybrids or domestic cats. Links to BBC Winterwatch 2016.
