Online Homework
Online homework is accessed from a link on the school’s website (staff
and subjects/ subject support/ S1_2 Science). You must record your
scores in the table below. Get a parent or guardian to sign after
completing every online homework please.
Under normal circumstances, it is expected that you should achieve more
than 75% in your online homework. Your score is given to you at the top
of the screen after completion. Clicking the review quiz button allows you
to see which questions you went wrong in. After the second attempt, the
correct answers for all questions are visible and you should use this to
help you improve your knowledge. It should be noted that questions are
always presented in a random order, and therefore you need to actually
understand how to get the correct answer the second time, it’s no good to
simply remember Q6 is A – because Q6 will be a different question
second time around.

Notes for Presentations
Presentation Information
The presentation will be assessed in three parts:
 The powerpoint
 The sources used
 The act of presenting
The Powerpoint
Your powerpoint should contain:





A cover slide with a title
4 – 6 slides of data (one idea per slide)
Slides that follow the ‘6 of 6’ rule
References to where the data came from
Visuals to generate interest
The ‘6 of 6’ rule



Each slide has around 6 bullet points
Each bullet point is a key idea
Each bullet as around 6 words
This keeps the information short and snappy, keeps the words big enough to read …….and
stops the presenter just reading the slides
The Sources
You should clearly show that you have taken information from at least 3 reliable sources and
that you have used a variety of sources.
The Presentation
During the presentation you must:



Project your voice clearly
Make eye contact with the audience
Speak in sentences from the key points

Periodic Table – Homework Investigation
You will investigate elements from different groups on the Periodic Table to
discover patterns and gain a deeper understanding of individual elements. You will
discover why elements are grouped together and the differences between these
groups.
You will uncover the mysteries of the Periodic Table, understanding why
elements are grouped together and why groups are given particular names. You will choose a group and
investigate its elements because you just never know when Praseodymium will come up in
conversation and why its alloys are used in cryogenic refrigeration.

S1 Homework Booklet 1
Chemical Reactions Presentation
Things you must find out about:

What is the name of the group you have chosen to study and why is this group of
elements given this name?

Why are these elements all put into this same group?

What are the uses of the elements in this group?

How reactive are the elements in this group?

In addition to this, include any other information that you consider to be relevant or of
particular interest.
Present your findings in one of the following forms:
-PowerPoint
-Poster
-Data sheet
You will be required to present your finding to your classmates and you will be given a 5
minute time slot to do this.

Light & Radiation Sheet 4
When you look at a light from different distances you will see that the brightness of the light
depends on how far you are from it.
Two students set out to investigate this in more detail.
They set up the apparatus as shown:
light meter
lamp
metre stick
They record the following results:
Distance from lamp (cm)
10
20
30
40
50
Intensity (lux)

Use the results to plot a line graph of “distance from lamp” against “Intensity” by.
Constructing a scale on the X-axis (remember use more than half the graph paper!)
Completing the Y-axis.

a) From the graph predict the Intensity at 15 cm and 25 cm from the lamp.
Distance = 15cm
Intensity = ___________________
Distance = 25cm
Intensity = ____________________
b) From the graph predict the “distance from the lamp” when the Intensity is 60 lux.
Intensity = 60 lux
Distance = ____________________
c) Suggest a way to improve the experiment.

Stars and galaxies send out radiation at many different frequencies in the
electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves can be detected using radio telescopes as
shown below.
Try to find out:

Have Your Say
Over the course of this topic you will learn information which will help you to
complete this task.
Find out some information on one of the following topics.
1.
What damage does smoking do to the lungs?
Do you think people should be allowed to smoke in public places like
restaurants, buses and football matches?
2.
Animal testing : what do you think of the use of animals in the
development and testing of new medicines? What about medicines
relating to the breathing system ( eg Salbutamol) – have they been
tested on animals?
2.
Organ Transplants : Should we still have the
choice to opt out of donating our organs
( such as heart and lungs) after death?
You can present your findings as either:
An essay
Poster
