Year 7 Science : AM

This week in class we are looking at specialised cells, and how their shape suits their jobs. We are also reviewing how to prepare specimens under a microscope, and how to then view them!

This weeks homework was to draw red blood cells, nerve cells, and xylem cells with explanations of how they work.

If you have any questions, please come and see me, or post here. (23/9)

Year 7 Science : BC

This week we have been revising the topic of particles using various techniques. By the end of the week, you should have produced a mind map, answered a levelled task on how ice melts, and completed a revision exercise.

Homework is to revise for the unit test, which will contain 8 levelled multiple choice questions, and a short answer question. Pupils must choose which level (3 -6) they will take.

Any questions or issues please post here or come and see me (24/9)
