1 September 2014
Dear new student and parent/guardian,
Welcome to John Fisher! I hope you are looking forward to taking part in some fun filled
science lessons!
This booklet is very important as it contains all of your homework for the first half term. You
will be issued with a homework booklet at the start of every half term.
If you lose this booklet you will have to pay for a replacement.
There are particular homework tasks that will be set by your teacher and you will receive
feedback on these tasks. It is important that you read your feedback and act upon it- this will
help you improve!
There are additional sheets in this booklet also, such as websites to visit, key words to learn,
self-checklists to make sure you know all the content you should, extra notes to read
through, crosswords etc. These additional sheets may not be officially set by your teacher
but it doesn’t stop you attempting them!
Included in this booklet are the topics that you will be covering. At the end of each topic you
will have an end of topic test. These mini tests, along with exams throughout the year, will be
used to place you in the appropriate set and to monitor your progress.
Remember your teachers are here to help you, if you don’t understand something
please ask us!
Yours Sincerely

7Ia/3 How fossil fuels were made 1
Cut out the boxes at the bottom of the page. Stick them next to the correct pictures.
[ knowledge ]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coal was
formed from
dead plants that
lived long ago.
More layers of
mud buried the
dead animals,
and they turned
into oil and gas.
The oil and gas
get stuck under
a layer of
caprock which
will not let them
through.
The plants and
animals fell to
the sea bed
when they died
and got buried
in mud and
sand. The mud
stopped them
rotting away.
Oil and gas
were formed
from tiny plants
and animals
that lived in the
sea millions of
years ago.
More layers of
the mud
squashed the
fossils. Heat
from inside the
Earth turned
the mud into
rock and turned
the plant fossils
into coal.
When the
plants died
they were
buried in mud.
The mud
stopped them
rotting away.
How fossil Fuels were made
Task
Use your class notes, research yourself and worksheet ‘7Ia/3 How fossil fuels were made 1’ to create a comic
strip on the following page to show HOW fossil fuels form and approximately the TIME and CONDITIONS
required.
Make it attractive!
Creative idea: You could create a character to tell the comic book story eg Collin the Coal Lump

Task
This is an additional task for you to work on independently throughout the half term.
Hand in completed scrap books to teacher in the last week of term to be reviewed- the best 3 in the year
(judged by Miss Hall) will receive 5 achievement points each!!
There is a lot of information about climate change and how we are running out of resources in the media.
Make a scrap book detailing the stories you have heard and where you heard/read them.
Eg BBC News 10th October a story on how oil is running out OR cut out the piece form the newspaper and
stick it into your scrap book.
For each piece you must write about the following points:
1. Summarise what the piece was about in your own words
2. What are YOUR feelings to what has been reported- do you trust what has been reported
3. What action do YOU think needs to be taken?
