Plot a graph of the results of your insulation experiment as discussed in class. Remember to label the axes and include a key and title.

Make a list of three things that you could change in the insulation experiment and a list of three things that you could change but should keep the same.

Read Chapter 6 'The Circulation System'. Complete section A in your copy and also answer Section B questions 3, 4 and 7.

Choose any element from the Periodic Table, research the element and then produce a poster/pamphlet or a page on your website to display this information. Do not cut-and-paste.... I want to see your work, not that of others!

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."


Those are the first two sentences of a very good book that you should read if you haven't done so already.

Your homework is to practice your creative writing, or use of other media, to describe the passage of food/nutrients through the human digestive system.

You might like to approach it like we did with Splash the water molecule. Be factual but also creative in your description of this amazing journey.

You have a number of pieces of red and blue Litmus Paper. After asking your parents for permission first, test a number of household chemicals with small wet bits of each colour paper. Do not test anything you are going to eat later or put the strips in your mouth. Record your results in your copy. Remember.... Blue for Base.

Write up your key in best. Remember each question must have a 'yes' or 'no' answer. The best presented key will win the mystery prize. (You don't have to have identified all the available flavours). Here is the information you were given in class:

In your jelly bean selection you will have some or all of the following flavours: apple, banana, blackberry, black pepper, blueberry, bubblegum, candyfloss, cherry, cinnamon, cola, dirt, earthworm, earwax, grass, green apple, marshmallow, nose snot, passion fruit, peach, pineapple, raspberry, rotten egg, sausage, lemon, lime, soap, tutti-frutti, vomit, strawberry cheesecake watermelon, vanilla.

In addition to the revision you are doing for the Christmas exams you must add a new comment on your blog page.

Read Chapter 37 'Energy' from p242 to 246 and then answer questions 1 to 17 in full sentences in your copy

Read the Chapter on Food in your textbook as a revision aid and then answer the questions on pages 24 and 25 in your copies. Do all of section A (questions 1-16) and from section B only questions 3, 4 and 6. Write your answers to A in full sentences.

For those of you going to W5 on Monday I would like you to take pictures that you can add later to your efolio as a record of your first year work.
