Phase 1: Organisms (2.8) Students will study: the importance of having a balanced diet to avoid malnutrition and deficiency diseases, what physical and chemical digestion, the difference between respiration and breathing by being able to label different parts of the respiratory system and describing how gas is exchanged in the lungs.
Phase 2: Matter (2.5) Students will study: the periodic table and how elements in the same group react in a similar way, the properties of elements with the properties of the compounds they form, the structure of an atom, elements and compounds, and the physical and chemical trends found in the periodic table.
Phase 3 Energy (2.3) Students will study: how to calculate work done and how levers and pulleys can make the work being done easier, the difference between temperature and energy and the cooling curves formed when substances cool down.
Phase 4 Ecosystems (2.9) Students will study: how the leaves of plants are adapted to enable them to use the sun’s energy to make their own food and how to test for starch in leaves aerobic and anaerobic respiration along with the different gas exchange systems of different organisms.
Phase 5 Reactions(2.6) Students will study: different types of reactions such as combustion and thermal decomposition, chemical changes by referring to atoms and molecules in reactants rearranging to make the products Students will learn that during reactions the total number of atoms is conserved.
Phase 6 Waves(2.4) Students will study: the properties of waves in water and light and how they transfer energy. Light consists of transverse waves with a range of frequencies and wavelengths and that white light can be split into a spectrum of colours, reflection, refraction and absorption of light by materials.
