Knowledge Homework Year 8 Summer 2020 Cycle Three | Page 2

ction

Don’t just copy material from the knowledge organiser into your book. This will not increase your retrieval strength, since you are not actually trying to remember anything. It won’t stick!

TOP TIP

If you find the cover–write–check method too simple, try one of the following strategies:

a) Practice paragraphs / exam questions – use the key information on your knowledge organiser to write a paragraph response to the topic. This will show that you can use key vocabulary in context.

b) Revision clock – draw a clock and add the topic in the middle. Break the clock face into 10 minute sections. Add notes from the knowledge organiser in each section. Cover the clock and recite the information aloud.

c) Transformative tasks – take the information from the knowledge organiser and present it in a different format: e.g. a newspaper report, a page from a text book, a comic strip, a set of quiz questions (make sure that you include the answers).

d) Additional research – Complete your own research into the topic set on your knowledge organiser. Present this new information in your homework book.

e) Use your knowledge organisers to create flashcards. These could be double sided with a question on one side and the answer on the other. Alternatively, a keyword on one side and a definition or diagram on the other. These are then used for self-quizzing.

f) Draw a mind map, jotting down everything that you can remember from the knowledge organiser. Check accuracy, correct in green pen and then repeat.

Self-QuizzingWhy should I self-quiz?Your mind is split into two parts: the working-memory and the long-term memory. Everybody’s working-memory is limited, and therefore it can very easily become overwhelmed. Your long-term memory, on the other hand, is effectively limitless.

You can support your working memory by storing key facts and processes in long term memory. These facts and processes can then be retrieved to stop your working memory becoming overloaded.

Research shows that students remember 50% more when they test themselves after learning something.

This booklet contains knowledge organisers for all of your subjects. Each knowledge organiser has the key information that needs to be memorised to help you master your subject and be successful in lessons.

How should I self-quiz, and how often?Research shows that regular testing improves knowledge retention; in order to learn the information in your knowledge organiser, you will need to work with it more than once! If a subject sets homework more than once per week, it is highly likely that they will ask you to work with the same information on both nights – this is so that you learn it more effectively. There are many different ways to learn the material in your knowledge organiser.

You could:

Cover – Write – Check: Cover up one section of the knowledge organiser, and try to write out as much as you can from memory. Check the knowledge organiser to see if you are right; correct any mistakes and fill in any missing information in your green pen. Repeat this process at least twice to fill your page. You could also include content from the previous week’s homework – especially if there were some parts you struggled with.

How should I present my work?Please remember that the same rules apply to the presentation of your homework as apply for your class work: dates and titles (which should be the name of the subject) need to be underlined with a ruler and you should present your work as neatly as you are able to.

If you are self-quizzing correctly, there should be evidence of green pen on your page. Here are some examples of how to set out your work:

Week 7 / 8

Alberto GiacomettiBorn 1901 in Stampa, Switzerland.

Giacometti was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. His work was particularly influenced by artistic styles such as Cubism and Surrealism.

Around 1935 he gave up on his Surrealistic influences in order to pursue a more deepened analysis of figurative compositions.

Between 1938 and 1944 Giacometti's sculptures had a maximum height of 7cm. Their small size reflected the actual distance between the artist's position and his model.

Died 1966 in Chur, Switzerland.

HTMLHyper Text Mark-up Language or HTMLis a computer coding language used inthe development of websites andwebpages.

HTML instructs the browser how todisplay the text and images on websites.

HTML is one of three major codinglanguages used on the web. The othertwo are CSS and JavaScript.

These 3 languages work together to from most websites.

CSS Cascading Style Sheet or CSS is a coding

language that is used to alter how elements are displayed on webpages.

CRUCIAL INFO: IN ORDER TO USE CSS IN A PAGE YOU MUST ADD THE CSS CODE

INSIDE THE HEAD & STYLE TAGS.

body { } - code added between these curly brackets, will change the appearance of the whole page.

p { } - code added between these curly brackets, will change the appearance of

the paragraph tags.

Img { } - code added between these curly brackets, will change the appearance of

images on the page.

h1 { } code added between these curly brackets, will change the appearance of

headings .

2 important things to Remember!

The STYLE tags sit inside the HEAD tags.

All CSS code goes between the STYLEtags.

DIVA DIV tag can be used to add a division

or section to your webpage.

This allows each of the divisions to have their own styles.

The CSS code can focus on a particular division by using the # symbol followed

by the division’s ID.

We define a division using the DIV tag and we add an ID (which can be thought

of as the division’s name).

This is important so that the CSS can tell the different divisions apart from one

another.

STRUCTURETo create a layout for a webpage we

need to split the page into the various sections we want using the ‘DIV’ tags.

Each section an needs an ID, to apply CSS code to the divisions individually. Here

are 3 sections (‘header’, ‘nav’ and ‘main’)

The CSS code can now be applied using the <head> & <style> tags.

These three languages allow for the huge variety of website on the internet.

HTML is made up of pairs of tags. These tags allow the browser to interpret what the coder wants and display it.

For example: <h1> Title </h1>Will display the world Title as a heading.

<html>

<head><title> Divs and Layouts </title><style>

#section1 p {font-size: 20pt;}

#section2 p {font-size: 50pt;}

#section3 p {font-size: 5pt;}

</style></head>

<body><div id = “section1”>

<p>This is section 1</p></div>

<div id = “section2”><p>This is section 2</p>

</div>

<div id = “section3”><p>This is section 3</p>

</div></body>

<body><div id = “header”>

<h1>The Solar System</h1></div><div id = “nav”>

Mercury <br>Venus <br>Earth <br>Mars<br>Jupiter <br>Saturn <br>Uranus <br>Neptune<br>

</div><div id = “main”>

<h1>Earth</h1></div>

</body>

<head><title> Space</title><style>

}#nav {

font-size: 50pt;}#main {

. Adding images Images can be added to HTML pages

using the follow tag.

<img src =“name of picture.jpg”>

The picture must be saved in the same folder as webpage otherwise it will not

work.

The file format of the picture must also be included e.g. .jpg .png .jfif

For example

<img src “picture1.png”>

To change the size of pictures additional tags are required.

<img src “picture1.jpg” height = 200 width = 300>

This will set the pictures height at 200 pixels and its width at 300 pixels.

AlignmentTo change the alignment of elements on

the page you need to add

align = (position) to your code

For example

<p align = center> text </p>

This will move the paragraph into the centre of the page.

Note the American spelling as with other spellings in HTML

Linking pages together In HTML pages can be linked using the <a

href = “ ”> </a> tag

This tag can either be used to link a page locally on the pc or externally to the

internet.

For example:<a href = “ www.bbc.co.uk”> BBC </a>

Would create a link called BBC, that when clicked, will take the user to the

BBC website.

To link pages together locally, you need to make sure all of the pages are saved in the same folder. Then using the same tag

as before<a href =“name of local page.htm”> </a>

Any text written between the tags will be displayed on the page as the link.

Embedding videosTo embed videos you first need to find

the videos embedded address. On YouTube this can be found after

clicking the share button.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com"

frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope;

HTML similar to this will be shown, which can be pasted straight into the body tags

of a webpage.

TheStoryPyramus and Thisbe are a couple of young Babylonians in love. Unfortunately, their families totally hate each other. The star-crossed lovers whisper sweet nothings through a crack in the wall that separates their houses, until they eventually can't take it anymore and decide to elope.But when Thisbe arrives under the mulberry tree where they're supposed to meet, a bloody-jawed lioness is prowling there. Thisbe screams and runs, leaving her shawl behind.Pyramus arrives a little while later and finds the bloody lioness ripping apart the shawl. Uh oh—we can see where this is headed. Assuming Thisbe has been devoured, he stabs himself with his sword. Later, Thisbe returns, figures out the horrible thing that's happened, and stabs herself with Pyramus's sword, too.To this day, the formerly white berries of the mulberry tree are stained red with the blood of these tragic lovers.

Migrant workers travelled from all over the country, with over half a million heading to California in search of work

As more and more migrants arrived in California, there were far more workers than jobs available. This meant that migrant workers could be paid less because they were ‘disposable’.

After the First World War, many women had entered the workforce for the first time.

However, with the Great Depression many of the rights that women had gained were lost.

As a capitalist country, American society in the 1930s was built around the idea that people or resources are only useful if they can generate profit or value for businesses.

The Emancipation Proclamation brought an end to slavery in the USA in 1863. However, by the 1930s the vast majority of African Americans in the southern states continued to be oppressed.

Migrant workers, or ‘Okies’ were often met with scorn by California farmers and natives, which only made their dislocation and poverty even more unpleasant.

When he was a young man, John Steinbeck had worked on ranches himself and saw first-hand how migrants and migrant workers were treated.

In the 1930s, women were broadly expected to return to more traditional roles like looking after the home, raising children and supporting their husbands.

The Wall Street crash led to widespread bank failures wiped out savings that had taken a people a lifetime to save. With little of value to offer employers and the loss of savings, many elderly Americans were left isolated and emasculated

The Jim Crow laws of the 1930s were designed to segregate black and white citizens. They touched on many aspects of society including restaurants, waiting rooms, drinking fountains and burial grounds.

Isolation Week 6b

Dreams Week 7b

The End Week 8b

Key Vocabulary Week 9b

All the characters in Of Mice and Men presented as lonely in some way, reinforcing Steinbeck’s message that the Great Depression led to widespread hostility and isolationism.

The American Dream is rooted in the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims that "all men are created equal" with the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

The ending of Of Mice and Men represents the conflicting philosophies in American society; the comfort and compassion of Slim compared to the callous disregard for human life illustrated by Carlson.

Significantly - importantly

Notably – importantly

Remarkably- worth mentioning

Paradoxically- absurd or self-contradictory

Diametrically- extremely opposed to

Unequivocally- leaves no doubt

In of Mice and Men, Steinbeck appears to suggest that the Great Depression has damaged American society to the extent that is has become savage and inhumane.

In of Mice and Men, Steinbeck appears to suggest that the Great Depression has made the American dream unachievable by creating a clear contrast between the aspirations or his characters and reality of their situation.

“Everyone in the world has a dream he knows can’t come off but he spends his life hoping it may. This is at once the sadness and greatness and the triumph of our species” - John Steinbeck

hyWeek One

How do waves form?

• Waves are created by wind blowing over the surface of the sea. As the wind blows over the sea, friction is created - producing a swell in the water.

Why do waves break?

• 1-Waves start out at sea.

• 2-As waves approaches the shore, friction slows the base.

• 3-This causes the orbit to become elliptical.

• 4-Until the top of the wave breaks over.

Size of waves

• Fetch how far the wave has travelled

• Strength of the wind.

• How long the wind has been blowing for.

Week Two

Types of Waves

• Constructive Waves-This wave has a swash that is strongerthan the backwash. This therefore builds up the coast.

• Destructive Waves- This wave has a backwash that is stronger than the swash. This therefore erodes the coast.

Weathering- The break down of rocks, there are 4 types

Physical (freeze-thaw)- Rainwater enters cracks in the rock. In cold weather it freezes and expands forcing the rock apart

Biological-Plants and animals burrow/ grow into the rocks and push them apart

Chemical- Chemicals in the water dissolves the rock

Week Three

Erosion- The removal and transport of rocks smooth, round and sorted.

• Attrition- Rocks bash together to become smoother and smaller.

• Solution- The chemical in the water dissolves the rocks.

• Abrasion- Rocks hurled at the base of a cliff by the waves break pieces off

• Hydraulic Action- Water enters cracks in the cliff, air compresses, causing the crack to expand.

Formation of Coastal Stack

• Hydraulic action widens cracks in the cliff face over time.

• Abrasion widens the crack to from a cave.

• Caves from both sides of the headland break through to form an arch.

• Weather above/erosion below –arch collapses leaving stack.

• Further weathering and erosion leaves a stump.

Week Four

Transportation- A natural process by which eroded material is carried/transported.

• Solution- Minerals dissolve in water and are carried along.

• Suspension - Sediment is carried along in the flow of the water.

• Saltation- Pebbles that bounce along the sea/river bed.

• Traction- Boulders that roll along a river/sea bed by the force of the flowing water.

What is Deposition?- When the sea or river loses energy, it drops the sand, rock particles and pebbles it has been carrying. This is called deposition.

Formation of Coastal Spits -Deposition

1Swash moves up the beach at the angle of the prevailing wind.

2Backwash moves down the beach at 90° to coastline, due to gravity.

3Zigzag movement (Longshore Drift) transports material along beach.

4Deposition causes beach to extend, until reaching a river estuary.

5Sheltered area behind spit encourages deposition, salt marsh forms.

Week Five

Coastal Defences: Pros and Cons

Hard Engineering Defences

Groynes- Stop longshore drift and keep beach in place

• Beach still accessible.

• No deposition further down coast = erodes faster.

Sea Walls- Concrete wall stop erosion

• Protects from flooding

• Curved shape encourages erosion of beach deposits.

Gabions or Rip Rap- stop erosion

• Cheap

• Will need replacing.

Soft Engineering Defences

Beach Nourishment- pump more sand onto beach

• Beach for tourists.

• Storms = need replacing.

Managed Retreat- do nothing

• Reduce flood risk

• Creates wildlife habitats.

• Loss of farmland

hyWeek Six Week Seven Week Eight

Lower Course of a River - Near the river’s mouth, the river widens further and becomes flatter. Material transported is deposited.

Formation of Floodplains and levees

• When a river floods, fine silt/alluvium is deposited on the valley floor. Closer to the river’s banks, the heavier materials build up to form natural levees.

• Nutrient rich soil makes it ideal for farming.

• Flat land for building houses.

Week Nine Week Ten

River Management Schemes

Soft Engineering

• Afforestation – plant trees to intercept rainfall and soak up rainwater. This reduces flood risk.

• Demountable Flood Barriers put in place when warning raised.

• Managed Flooding – naturally let areas flood, protect settlements.

• Warn and evacuate people.

Hard Engineering

• Straightening Channel – increases velocity to remove flood water.

• Artificial Levees – heightens river so flood water is contained.

• Deepening or widening river to increase capacity for a flood.

• Flood walls/Embankments – Walls that do not allow flood water to get to homes and businesses.

Physical and Human Causes of Flooding.

Physical: Prolong & heavy rainfallLong periods of rain causes soil to become saturated leading runoff.

Physical: GeologyImpermeable rocks causes surface runoff to increase river discharge.

Physical: Relief Steep-sided valleys channels water to flow quickly into rivers causing greater discharge.

Human: Land Use Tarmac and concrete are impermeable. This prevents infiltration & causes surface runoff.

Week 1 / 2 Week 3 / 4 Week 5 /6A STAVE or STAFF is the name given to the five lines where musical notes are written.The position of notes on the stave or staff shows their PITCH (how high or low a note is). The TREBLE CLEF is a symbol used to show high-pitched notes on the stave and is usually for the right hand on a piano or keyboard to play the MELODY and also used by high pitched instruments such as the flute and violin. The stave or staff is made up of 5 LINES and 4 SPACES.

There are five different black notes or keys on a piano or keyboard. They occur in groups of two and three right up the keyboard in different pitches. Each one can be a SHARP or a FLAT. The # symbol means a SHARP which raises the pitch by a semitone (e.g. C# is higher in pitch (to the right) than C). The b symbol means a FLAT which lowers the pitch by a semitone (e.g. Bb is lower in pitch (to the left) than B). Each black key has 2 names – C# is the same as Db – there’s just two different ways of looking at it!

Remember, black notes or keys that are to the RIGHT of a white note are called SHARPS and black notes to the LEFT of a white note are called FLATS.

The BASS CLEF is a symbol used to show low-pitched notes on the stave and is usually for the left hand on a piano or keyboard to play the ACCOMPANIMENT and also used by low pitched instruments such as the tuba and bassoon. The stave or staff is made up of 5 LINES and 4 SPACES.

OperaAn OPERA is a theatre piece, like a play. But instead of speaking their lines the characters sing them. Broadway musicals such as Les Misérables, Evita, and Cats are actually operas.Types of movement in an opera:Overture: introduction played by orchestra only; the main musical themes are introducedAria: a song sung by one of the main characters, usually fairly long, expressive and sometimes virtuosicRecitative: usually precedes an aria – half singing, half reciting –the voice rises and falls following the natural speech rhythms of the words; used in opera to carry the plot forward

There are also movements for groups of soloists:Duet – two voicesTrio – three voicesQuartet – four voices

Different Types of MusicalBook Musical: The most traditional musical, this has a strong story which is driven by the songs. The story can be new or an adaption.Revue: A selection of songs, generally linked by a common theme.Concept Musical: A musical where the message is more important than the story, for example A Chorus Line, which is constructed from various stories of dancers taking part in an audition. They can also be called bookless musicalsJukebox Musical: A musical using songs from one band or group, where the story is constructed around these songs. Examples include Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You.Rock/Pop Opera: A musical where the music is highly inspired by rock or pop music. They are usually through-composed and feature little dialogue.

Week 7 / 8 Week 9 /10Every Musical has a:LIBRETTO – the overall text including the spoken and sung partsLYRICS – the words to the songThere are different types of song within a Musical including:ACTION SONGS – which move the plot forwardCHARACTER SONGS – which enable a character to express their feelings and often have LYRICAL MELODIES and are designed enable the singer to “show off” their vocal skills.Within these two types of songs, different song types can be found including:BALLADS – which are usually slow, romantic and reflectiveCOMEDY SONGS – which are funny, to the lyrics are very importantPRODUCTION NUMBERS – which involve the full company and are used to show major changes in location or plot, and often open and close ACTS.RHYTHM SONGS – are driven by energetic rhythmic patterns

Various different types of male and female voice are used in both Musicals (and Opera) and are given to different characters.

SOPRANO – the highest female voice type and normally plays the most sympathetic roles (sometimes the heroine who is being cheated on!) MEZZO SOPRANO – a lower female voice type (often given the spiciest and juiciest roles – often witches!) ALTO – the lowest female voice type but can also be sang by men (often maids, mothers or grandmothers)

TENOR – the highest male voice type (often given to vulnerable men who love too much!) BARITONE – a medium-range male voice type (often given to the hero of the plot) BASS – the lowest male voice type (often given to characters that portray fathers or priests)

The Structure of a Song in Musicals:

Although most musicals use dialogue, there are some Musicals which are THROUGH-COMPOSED which use little or no dialogue and everything is sung.STROPHIC FORM is when the same melody is repeated but with different words e.g. hymns and carols. The opposite of strophic form is THROUGH-COMPOSED where each section of words has a new music or melody and nothing is repeated (no repeated choruses or refrains).Many songs from Musicals use VERSE & CHORUS form.

The CHORUS:Sets the refrain of the lyrics and often contains the title words Usually returns several times, always with the same words normally the “catchiest” part of the song and has a MEMORABLE MELODYThe VERSE usually has different words, sung to the same music, with each repetition.

The Structure of a Musical Part 1:

OVERTUREMusicals often begin with an OVERTURE – an INSTRUMENTAL piece played by the BAND or ORCHESTRA which “sets the scene” and often contains parts from songs which will occur later in the musical (e.g. a MEDLEY)

CHARACTERSCharacters are then introduced, and the storyline develops. Musicals contain some spoken dialogue and sometimes dance sequences. INCIDENTAL MUSIC (music played by the band/orchestra alone) is often used for scene or set changes.

SONGS Musicals contain a number of different songs – solo songs (CHARACTER SONGS), DUETS, TRIOS, COMPANY/CHORUS or PRODUCTION NUMBERS, ACTION SONGS, BALLADS and COMEDY SONGS.

Week One: Evolution Week Two: Climate

The Earth’s atmosphere is the relatively thin layer of gases that surround the planet. It provides us with the oxygen we need to stay alive. Earth’s atmosphere contains around 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.04% carbon dioxide and small amounts of other gases.The carbon cycleCarbon is being continually recycled on Earth. The processes that release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere include:• combustion of fossil fuels• respiration by plants and animalsCarbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere by plants so that they can carry out photosynthesis. Some processes move carbon compounds from place to place, including feeding by animals and the formation of fossil fuels.

Carbon sink: areas of vegetation, the ocean or the soil, which absorb and store carbon.Fossil Fuels: remains of dead organisms that are burned as fuels, releasing carbon dioxide.

Week Three: Climate

The greenhouse effectWithout greenhouse gases in its atmosphere, the Earth would be about 18°C colder on average than it is now. That would make it too cold to support life as we know it.Greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere include water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane. These greenhouse gases:• absorb heat radiated from the

Earth• then release energy in all

directions, which keeps the Earth warm

Extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases the greenhouse effect. More thermal energy is trapped by the atmosphere, causing the planet to become warmer than it would be naturally. This increase in the Earth’s temperature is called global warming, which is having an effect on the world’s climates including: • ice melting faster than it can be

replaced in the Arctic and Antarctic

• the oceans warming up – their water is expanding and causing sea levels to rise

Week Four: Wave properties

A wave is an oscillation or vibrationthat transfers energy from place to place without transporting matter. Waves can be transverse or longitudinal. In a transverse wave, the oscillation is perpendicular (at 90˚) to the direction of the wave.

In a longitudinal wave the oscillation is parallel to the direction of the wave.

Transverse waves include water and light waves. Longitudinal waves include sound waves. All waves have three important features:• an amplitude, which is the

distance from the middle to the top or bottom of the wave.

• a frequency, which is the number of waves that go past a particular point per second.

• a wavelength, which is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave.

Week Five: Wave effects

When a wave travels through a substance, particles move to and fro. Energy is transferred in the direction of movement of the wave. Waves of higher amplitude or higher frequency transfer more energy.Electromagnetic waves form a spectrum of different wavelengths. This spectrum includes: radiowaves, microwaves, infra-red, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays and gamma-rays. Over-exposure to certain types of electromagnetic radiation can be harmful. The higher the frequency of the radiation, the more damage it is likely to cause to the body.Ultra-violet radiation from the sun can penetrate our skin and make its way right into our cells. Too much exposure will damage our DNA, causing mutations that can lead to cancer.

Keywords:Ultrasound: sound waves with frequencies higher than the human auditory rangeUltraviolet (UV): waves with frequencies higher than light, which human eyes cannot detectMicrophone: turns the pressure wave of sound hitting it into an electrical signalLoudspeaker: turns an electrical signal into a pressure wave of soundPressure wave: an example is sound, which has repeating patterns of high-pressure and low-pressure regions.

Natural selection is a theory that explains how species evolve and why extinction occurs. Species change over time in response to changes in their environmentor competition between organisms.The members of the species with the most desirable characteristics are able to produce the best-adapted offspring. If a species is unable to adapt then it is at risk of becoming extinct.Biodiversity is vital to maintaining populations. Within a species variation helps against environment changes, avoiding extinction.

Keywords:Population: group of organisms of the same kind living in the same placeNatural selection: process by which species change over time in response to environmental changes and competition for resourcesExtinct: when no more individuals of a species remainBiodiversity: the variety of living things. It is measured as the differences between individuals of the same species, or the number of different species in an ecosystem.Competition: when two or more living things struggle against each other to get the same resource. Evolution: theory that the animal and plant species living today descended from species that existed in the past.

Week Six: Earth’s Resources Week Seven: Inheritance

Inherited characteristics, such as eye colour, are the result of genetic information being transferred from parents to offspring during reproduction. Children usually look a little like their father, and a little like their mother, but they are not identical to either of their parents. This is because they get half of their DNA from each parent.A gamete is a sex cell. Male and female gametes, carrying half the total number of chromosomes of each parent, combine during fertilisation. In humans, the male gamete is the sperm and the female gamete is the ovum (egg cell).

DNA, is found in the nuclei of cells and organised into 46 chromosomes. Chromosomes are long tightly coiled strands of DNA that contain many genes.

Week Eight: Inheritance

A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a particular protein; it can be thought of as a set of chemical instructions for one particular feature. Inheriting eye colourYour cells contain two versions of each gene. The different versions of a gene are called alleles. One allele comes from your mother and the other from your father. These alleles may be the same, for example, you may inherit two alleles for blue eyes; you would therefore have blue eyes. However, you may inherit two different versions of the eye colour gene, for example, the allele that codes for blue eyes from your mother and the allele that codes for brown eyes from your father.

The allele for brown eye colour is a dominant allele; if you inherit a copy of this allele your eye colour will be brown. It doesn’t matter what the other allele is.The allele for blue eye colour is a recessive allele; this characteristic is only expressed if you have two copies of the allele. To have blue eyes, you must inherit a copy of the allele that codes blues eyes from both parents.

Week Nine: Heating and Cooling

The thermal energy of an object depends upon its mass, temperature and what it is made of. When there is a temperature difference, energy transfers from the hotter to the cooler object. Thermal energy is transferred through different pathways by conduction, convection and radiation.

In conduction, particles transfer energy by colliding with other particles when they vibrate. Energy transfer happens until the two surfaces are at the same temperature.

Energy is not transferred very easily through materials like wood. Wood and many non-metals are poor conductors of heat; they are known as thermal insulators.Keywords:Thermal conductor: material that allows heat to move quickly through it.Thermal insulator: material that only allows heat to travel slowly through it. Temperature: a measure of the motion and energy of the particlesThermal energy: the quantity of energy stored in a substance due to the vibration of its particles.

Week Ten: Heating and Cooling

Convection occurs in liquids and gases. It occurs when particles with a lot of thermal energy move and take the place of particles with less thermal energy. Liquids and gases expand when they are heated. This is because the particles in liquids and gases move faster when they are heated than they do when they are cold. As a result, the particles take up more volume. This is because the gap between particles widens, while the particles themselves stay the same size. The liquid or gas in hot areas is less dense than the liquid or gas in cold areas, so it rises into the cold areas. The denser cold liquid or gas falls into the warm areas. In this way, convection currents that transfer heat from place to place are set up.

Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy as a wave. All objects transfer energy to their surroundings by infrared radiation. The hotter an object is, the more radiation it gives off. Particles are not involved in radiation, which means that energy transfer can occur even when objects are not touching.

Humans use the Earth’s natural resources to provide warmth, shelter, food and transport. Many of the resources we use are finite and will eventually run out. If we reuse and recycle the materials we use we will reduce:• our use of limited resources• our use of energy • the waste we produce

Natural resources: materials from the Earth which act as raw materials for making a variety of productsMineral: naturally occurring metal or metal compoundOre: naturally occurring rock containing sufficient minerals for extractionExtraction: separation of a metal from a metal compoundRecycling: processing a material so that it can be used againElectrolysis: using electricity to split up a compound into its elements
