p.s. if you need to catch up on missing items that should be on your site, half term might be a good opportunity to do so.

1. Find 5 images for a key and then use Picollage to produce the key. Publish it to your website.
2. Bring in or post your Pea Diary. 

]]>Wed, 08 Jan 2014 08:43:59 GMThttp://www.confeyscience.com/homeworkt/january-homework-pea-diaryThis is a recap of the instructions you were given in class. Remember... If your peas die you can always collect more from me.

1. Soak your peas in cold tap water for 24hrs
2. Place your peas on damp tissue in a saucer in a warm light place
3. Every day make sure that they have water and record any changes you see. For example:

• My seeds swelled up
• One of my seeds has a white root which is 2 mm long

Hint: It might be sensible to design a table to record your results in which might have the following columns: Day; Root length; Shoot length; Observations; etc

• Food Tests - Tests for starch, sugar, protein and fat
  
• Energy in Food - Converting the chemical energy in food into heat energy
• Separating Mixtures - Filtration, distillation and chromatography
• Energy Conversions - Chemical to electrical to light and heat, electrical to magnetic to kinetic, light to electrical to kinetic
• Hooke's Law - Experiments on the extension of a spring

]]>Wed, 20 Nov 2013 08:52:56 GMThttp://www.confeyscience.com/homeworkt/homework-for-monday-25th-novemberAdd a page to your web site titled "Energy Conversions" and write up the three experiments we did in class. Remember that you can, if you wish, take a picture of the work in your copy and post that. The experiments show:

• The conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy to heat and light energy
• The conversion of electrical energy to magnetic energy (and then to kinetic energy)
• The conversion of light energy to electrical energy to kinetic energy

Your website should now have ALL of the following:

• A Home Page with a brief introduction... Remember NO contact details
• A page on Separating Mixtures where you have written up the experiments
• A page on Energy in Food covering the experiments where we burnt food 
• A page on our work on The Skeleton where we cut up chicken wings and feet
• A page with your What is Energy picollage
• A blog page called Reflections which has a post on My First Weeks in Confey and The Human Body

1. Complete the questions started in class on the skeleton. These are on pages 67 and 68 of your e-book.
2. Add a 'new post' on your Reflections blog page about the work you did on the topic "The Human Body"

It should have a home page with a bit of information about you... remember NO CONTACT DETAILS... A blog page where you have written a reflection of your time in Confey and in Science in particular....Something about separating mixtures, probably what you did with Picollage... and finally, a page about energy in food.
]]>Mon, 07 Oct 2013 10:34:29 GMThttp://www.confeyscience.com/homeworkt/homework-for-thursday-10th-octoberCollect a number of items of food packaging that include food labels.
Ask first before you remove any labels off any unopened tins or packets.
