The Science Department: Home

Welcome to the Science Department

Welcome to the Science Department. This website is here to provide curriculum information to anybody who is studying sciences. Originally setup to support students who were learning from home during the two lock-downs caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the website has grown over time and is continuing to do so. As I learn new skills in coding, the website will mirror this. I am currently working on a database to allow sudents to check their learning with lots of multiple-choice questions that will help you to identify areas of weakness and better target your revision. Enjoy, I truly hope that this helps.

The "Curriculum Health Check" section has gone live on all GCSE science pages now. Please be aware that this is the first time that I have seen them in HTML and am now going through the job of editing them when I find formatting errors. Enjoy, hope to be ready by September.

Enjoy your summer holiday! Make sure that you keep thinking scientifically though. I am on holiday and have seen some excellent rock formations, adaptations in seals and sea birds and have enjoyed the darker skies away from the city to see the stars more clearly.

Year 9: Alloys and Polymers.
We all need to know what an alloy is, why the properties of alloys are different from the elements that they are made from and what in their structure makes them different. Read through this page from BBC bitesize then make a very brief summary. Read through the different alloys below:
Examples of alloys
Wedding ring alloys
Alloys in coins
When you have been through all of the above, you will be ready to complete a Seneca task. Follow this link, the assignment is called "Last chemistry of year 9!".

Year 10: The Haber Process
To begin with, refresh yourselves on the work that we completed last lesson on reversible reactions. When you have completed this, you are going to research Fritz Haber and the Haber Process.
Create and save a simple fact file about the work of Fritz Haber. There is a fantastic book in my classroom called "Between Genius and Genocide", with this title in mind, make sure that you include the following in your research about my absolute favourite chemist:
What is the Haber process and how does it work?
What are the negative effects of his work? Look at this link for his biography.
Make sure that you think about the question, "what would life today be like without his work?"

This week we are thrilled to welcome students who will join us in September. During the transition, every student will have a sample science lesson. In the lesson, we will create a hypothesis, test it in a practical investigation then analyse the data that we collect. After we have seen the evidence, we will be able to review out hypothesis and decide if the evidence supports it.
