Physics trip opportunity
We have been given an exciting opportunity to take a group of students to a talk about The Higgs Boson at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. This event takes place on Friday 7thDecember. It will begin at 1.30am and we should be back in school by 4.00pm. It is entitled “The Higgs Boson: a weight off all our minds” and is given by Dr William Murray – from STFC and CERN. It is open to Y11 and there are only 14 places, so it is first come first served.
Please collect a letter from Ms Hamnett and return to the school shop
Work for Mr Lawrence - Wednesday 21st November
I'm not well enough for school today - my voice didn't survive yesterday.
The aims of today's lesson is to get you familiar with some online resources, to revise some of your earlier physics and biology work so it stays fresh in your minds and to move forward with respiration. What you don't finish in the lesson will be your homework for next Tuesday - please record in your planner.
Well done to those of you who completed the self-assessment assignments I set you on kerboodle recently - I have recorded your marks and will talk to you about these. If you haven't done these, find them by clicking on the 'Science (Additional) GCSE for AQA' link at the top left after you log in, then on 'completed and overdue work'. There is some new work on Kerboodle relating to respiration too.
If you can't get onto kerboodle email me on tla@cheney.oxon.sch.uk - remember the school code is 5166
Sunflower is another online resource which you now have individual logins for. Your username should be the same as your kerboodle one - it's surnameforename with no space, all lower case e.g. alexandercameron. Your password is the same but with your tutor group's letter and number e.g. a01 for Austin 1 (no spaces again - e.g. alexandercamerona01). The school code is chen08. There are assignments set for you here too, on cells and photosynthesis.
Finally the questions below can be answered directly into the blog, and will be saved to a google spreadsheet for me to mark. Have a look at the bitesize respiration pages if you need some help.

New assignments on Kerboodle
I have just re-assigned some multiple-choice questions (with instant feedback) on Forces which I had set for you a few weeks ago, but which I don't think anyone has finished. There are two new ones on Work, Energy and Momentum too, all with a due-date of Wednesday 14th November.
If you can't log in to www.kerboodle.co.uk email me on tla@cheney.oxon.sch.uk and I'll reset your password and email you back with this and your username.

Homework - review of Generating Electricity topic
Our recent Physics Progress Test revealed that the topic we covered back in November / December, when I was ill for a number of lessons and before we embarked on our ISAs, has faded from many of your meories.
Have a go at these 'Generating Electricity Progress Check' questions and then mark your work using this mark scheme - bring any problems that persist along to me after the holiday.
