Year 10 GCSE (Higher) LIVING FOR THE FUTURE OCR Gateway Science Suite Lessons 5–6 (P2c) 1) …of different energy sources. 2) … using the equation: power = voltage x current 3) …kilowatt–hours using the equation: energy supplied = power x time 4) …of nuclear power.

Year 10 GCSE (Higher) OCR Gateway Science Suite LIVING FOR THE FUTURE Lessons 1–2 (P2a) 1) Describe how light produces electricity in a photocell. 2) Describe how the power of a photocell depends on light intensity and the surface area exposed. 3) Explain why passive solar heating works. 4) Describe other ways that the Sun’s energy can be harnessed.

Year 10 GCSE (Higher) LIVING FOR THE FUTURE OCR Gateway Science Suite Lessons 11–12 (P2f) 1) …planets, stars, comets, meteors, galaxies and black holes. 2) …gravitational force determines the motion of planets and satellites. 3) Describe a light-year. 4) …unmanned space craft to explore the Solar System.

Students and graph drawing need I say more. I’ve finally written this set of simple rules to help with the new OCR Gateway Coursework but this should be useful with KS3, KS4 and VI Form for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Use the PowerPoint with the class as a reminder before they draw a graph and print and laminate the summary to put on the desks while they draw the graph. I've included a video by Semaj Nosugref the robot to explain things..

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.
