Edexcel - Light and the electromagnetic spectrum

(0)
This lesson is made for the following specification for revision purposes. Recall that all electromagnetic waves are transverse, that they travel at the same speed in a vacuum [5.7] Explain, with examples, that all electromagnetic waves transfer energy from source to observer [5.8] Recall the main groupings of the continuous electromagnetic spectrum [5.10-5.12] Recall that the potential danger associated with an electromagnetic wave increases with increasing frequency [5.20] Describe the harmful effects on people of excessive exposure to electromagnetic radiation [5.21] Describe uses of the electromagnetic radiation [5.22]

Vaccination GCSE

(0)
Spec included: Explain the role of the specific immune system of the human body in defence against disease [5.13] exposure to pathogen the antigens trigger an immune response which causes the production of antibodies the antigens also trigger production of memory lymphocytes the role of memory lymphocytes in the secondary response to the antigen Explain the body’s response to immunisation using an inactive form of a pathogen [5.14]

Evolution - Edexcel

(0)
Spec included: Explain Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection [4.2] Explain how the emergence of resistant organisms supports Darwin’s theory of evolution including antibiotic resistance in bacteria [4.3] Describe the evidence for human evolution, based on fossils, [4.4] Ardi from 4.4 million years ago Lucy from 3.2 million years ago Leakey’s discovery of fossils from 1.6 million years ago Describe the evidence for human evolution based on stone tools [4.5] the development of stone tools over time how these can be dated from their environment
Life cycle assessment revision

Life cycle assessment revision

(0)
Made for the Edexcel specification. However the overlap to AQA is essentially the same Contents: basic explanation and PEQs, both from edexcel and AQA for quantity Evaluate the advantages of recycling metals, including economic implications and how recycling can preserve both the environment and the supply of valuable raw materials [4.10] Describe that a life-cycle assessment for a product involves consideration of the effect on the environment of obtaining the raw materials, manufacturing the product, using the product and disposing of the product when it is no longer useful [4.11] Evaluate data from a life cycle assessment of a product [4.12]
