G28 and G29 Science Assessments

Both G28 and G29 will have an end of topic assessment in science in their first lesson during w/c 22 January. An Seneca assignment has been issued, although students are encouraged to use a study strategy they have used in class to complete some of this revision too.

The Topics in G28 are

Chemistry

  • Structure of the atom :Protons, Neutrons and Electrons 
  • Electronic configuration of atoms
  • Structure and trends  of the Periodic Table
  • Developing the periodic table.

Physics

  • Density calculation and practical
  • Specific heat capacity calculations
  • Thermal conductivity 
  • Isotopes and calculations
  • Decay equations 
  • Decay properties alpha, beta and gamma decay.

The Topics in G29 are

Circulatory System

  • The role of the circulatory system.
  • Structure and function of blood and blood vessels

Gas Exchange system

  • Structure and function of Lungs
  • Process of gas exchange

Cell structure and Respiration 

  • Labelling plant and animal cells
  • Function of cell organelles
  • Chemical reaction of aerobic respiration

Reproductive system

  • Structure and function of male and female reproductive systems
  • Structure and function of male and female gametes
  • Process of pregnancy and role of placenta 
  • Types and causes of variation
