ScienceA. Properties of matter C. Changes of state Solid Liquid Gas Sublimation This is quite rare but occasionally a solid can turn straight into a

gas Arrangement of particles is regular

Arrangement of particles is random

Arrangement of particles is random Freezing As heat energy is lost to the surroundings the particles of the

substance crystallise and form a solid The distance between particles is very close

The distance between particles is close

The distance between particles are far apart Condensation As gas particles cool they lose the energy to their surroundings

slow down and form a liquid The particles vibrate around a fixed position

The particles slide over one another

The particles move quickly in all directions

Melting At a substances melting point the temperature is sufficient enough for the particles to break free from one another and the substance to turn from solid to liquid

Solid Particles Liquid Particles Gas Particles Boiling At a substances boiling point the temperature is sufficient enough for the particles to break free from one another and the substance to turn from liquid to a gas

D. Particle behaviour Diffusion Where gas & liquid particles move form an area of high

concentration to low concentration B. Differences between states of matter Pressure When gases get enclosed in a small space they create a pushing

force known as pressure Volume The amount of space each state takes up with some having a fixed volume and others having volumes that will fill their container

E. Tasks: 1. Complete the meanings for the key words

Shape Solids have a fixed shape whereas gases & liquids take the shape of their container

2. Draw the particle arrangement for the 3 states in section A 3. Draw a table showing the properties of solids liquids & gases

using section B Density Solids are heavy for their size compared to

gases with liquids having a medium density 4. Draw a line graph showing the temperature changes as

something melts F. Key terms Phonetic Meaning

GeographyKey Words and Meanings Key Features of VolcanoesTectonic plates

The Earth’s crust is made up of several parts, these are floating on top of the mantle. Convection cur-rents within the mantle can move the plates around

Composite volcano

Constructive When two of plates move away from each other, magma may rise from the mantle and create new rock/land by the way of volcanic eruption.

Eruption When the pressure in the magma chamber reaches too much to be held within, it erupts/vents out of the volcano. Often it explodes out of the top but may also from the sides.

Seismograph Think of a seismograph as a kind of sensitive pendulum that records the shaking of the Earth. The output of a seismograph is known as a seismogram. In the early days, seismograms were produced using ink pens on paper or beams of light on photographic paper, but now it’s most often done digitally using computers. Geothermal

powerPyroclastic flow

Molten hot gas, ash and lava flow down the steep sides of the volcano. Burning everything it comes into contact with.

Lahar These are a lot like pyroclastic flows but include water.Shield

volcanoTelemetre This is a measuring instrument to look for changes at the top of volcanic peaks.

Your Research

1 What would happen if you did not have bones?

MovementMuscles are attached to bones, which are jointed. When the muscles contract the bones move.

2 Discover what joints do?

Skeletal Map

Blood Production

red blood cells (to carry oxygen) and white blood cells (to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones.

C. Did you know?The smallest bones in the body are found in the ear.

The longest bone in the body is the femur.

The bones are filled with a fatty substance called bone marrow. In this marrow, red and white blood cells are manufactured and then released into the bloodstream.

Over half the body’s bones are in the hands and feet.

The only jointless bone in your body is the hyoid bone in your throat.As your bones grow, you get taller (of course). Your growth in height is likely to stop by the time you are 16 if you’re a girl and 18 if you’re a boy.

Safety Goggles Workshop Apron

Health and safetyPPE – Personal protective equipment – these are items such as goggles and aprons.

Analysis Criteria of a ProductAesthetics The way that a product looks. Shape,

colour, etc.Cost How much does it cost?Customer Who is it aimed at? Young, old, male,

female.Ergonomics How does the product interact with the

user?Size How big is it? Measure in millimetres.Safety Are there any safety warnings/concerns?Function How does the product work?Materials What is it made from?Units and MeasuresDimensions in millimetres (mm). 1cm = 10mmElectronic units

e.g. ohms, volts, amps.

CAD/CAM

• Advantages1. Quicker than doing it by hand.2. It can produce multiple items exactly

the same.3. It can produce very complex items

easily.• Disadvantages1. Expensive to set up.2. Training is required in order to use it.3. It can de-skill workers’ hand skills.• Types of software/equipment used –

2D design, Sketchup, Laser cutter, 3D printer.

Possible tasks

Communication Techniques

• Isometric projection - is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings.

• Perspective drawing - is a technique used to draw a 3-dimensional scene onto a 2-dimensional surface. Lines converge to a vanishing point.

• Annotating ideas - the use of notes to help to explain a drawing. These can contain detailed information about materials, sizes, function etc.

1. Design a health and safety poster for the workshop.2. Use the analysis criteria to analyse a product at home.3. Use the link to watch a video about 3D printing and how it

could change the way that we design. Link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjYA1w1uuAw#

4. What other advantages/disadvantages of CAD/CAM can you think of?

Homework tasks 1. How has the eatwell plate guide changed over the last

two years, write an article about the changes and what might have been the reason for the change.

2. Consider what you eat in a week, make a note of each meal and your snacks. Create a visual diary with notes about your diet and link it to the eatwell plate.

3. Consider different types of hazards, make a poster which will make other pupils think about how to stay safe in the food room

4. Cook or help to prepare a main meal at home, get people to review your meal saying what went well and then consider how you could improve and make notes on the experience of cooking for others

5. In Britain we are so lucky to have a variety of different cultural foods available to us, pick a culture which is important or is interesting to you, find out what that cultures staple food is and what dishes they are famous for, find out facts about the country of origin and dishes they serve, turn your information into a Make a mini presentation.

Fun Facts! Yeast is a micro organism, just like all bacteria it needs, food, warmth, moisture and time to grow. Can you think of some foods which need yeast to grow? Fats are not all bad for us, we need fat to give us energy and to protect our vital organs. Fats such as butter also help to trap air in food, without it our cakes wouldn’t be as fluffy and out biscuits wouldn’t crumble! There are 750 farmers markets in the UK, this helps to reduce the carbon footprint and Co2 levels in the earths atmosphere. If we eat locally we help our environment and can get fresh seasonal foods Proteins are made up of lots of amino acids, without them we wouldn’t be able to grow and get stronger. Our body uses tens of thousands of amino acids to keep it going, we need protein to keep us on the move.

DT: TextilesTools and Equipment 1. Needles - are a long slender tool with a pointed tip at one end and a hole or eye at the other

for the thread to go through. They are used when sewing/stitching. 2. Pins - a small, slender, often pointed piece of metal used to fasten, support, or attach fabric

together. 3. Fabric scissors - Fabric scissors are scissors with extremely sharp blades made for cutting fabric.

They cannot be used to cut other materials such as paper as this will make the blades blunt. 4. Pinking shears - are scissors, the blades of which are saw-toothed instead of straight. They

leave a Zigzag pattern instead of a straight edge. This stops the edge of the fabric from fraying. 5. Sewing machine - is a machine used to stitch fabric and other materials together with thread. 6. Heat press - is a machine engineered to imprint a design or graphic on to a material with the

application of heat and pressure for a pre-set period of time. 7. Dye sublimation printer - used to print an image or text on to fabric using a heat press. 8. Thread – Used in both needles and sewing machines to join fabrics together

Homework tasks 1. Watch this video on industrial printing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSuJU7QF_Sk 2. Who is Paul Smith? Why is he so important to Nottingham? Write a case study on him and what he

is famous for 3. Design a new range of t-shirts with a new slogan on which is influenced by a club or team you are

part of e.g. a football team. What would they be made from and why? Give reasons why you have chosen your slogans – how do they support your team/club to do their best?

4. Material properties – using the table above, list where each item comes from and how it is made. Why do we use man made fabrics, how do they benefit us?

5. Research biomimicry; can you find 3 items from nature which have influenced textiles design
