Year 11 ISA

Today we're going to start the year 11 ISA - this isn't a practice, but the real one that will count towards your final marks. The tasks for today are as follows:

  1. Watch the demonstration at the front of the class, thinking about different variables involved with the tests.
  2. Copy out the hypothesis - 'The extension of a rubber band depends on the force applied'.
  3. Write the method that you will use for the practical next week (we will sit section 1 on Friday). There are similar experiments here and here. BBC bitesize has some good material about Hooke's Law too.
  4. Hand your named planning sheet back to Mr. Cole.

Biology: Cells, tissues and organsorganisms and their environment, enzymes, respiration.
Chemistry: Structure and bonding, structure and properties/quantitative chemistry (moles).
Physics: Forces, energy and momentum.
Remember to use your revision guides to help you, and feel free to come and find either Miss Chandarana or me if you have any questions tomorrow morning. Good luck!
