Mid –year exam 2015 - 2016
Cellular Biology and Fundamental Particles
Topic Objectives:
Students must be able to: Y7 Biology 1 a) Identify the processes that occur in all living things using MRS GREN (movement, Cellular reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion, nutrition) biology b) Understand that the development of the microscope has allowed us to be able to see what cells look like and what they are made of c) Label a diagram of the compound microscope to include stage, fine focusing knob, rough focusing knob, objective lenses, eyepiece lens, light source, mirror, body tube, handle d) Describe how to use a compound microscope to view specimens e) Use a compound microscope to view and draw animal cells (cheek cells) and calculate the total magnification used f) Use a compound microscope to view and draw plant cells (onion skin cells) and calculate the total magnification used g) To outline that both animals and plants are made up of cells, but that these cells are different in structure to account for the differences in the functions of those cells h) To be able to recognise, compare and explain how cells are specialised to their function i) To be able to draw and label generic animal and plant cells j) To be able to outline how plant and animal cells can form tissues, tissues can form organs and organs can form organ systems k) To be able to outline the role of the main organ systems. This should include; circulatory, breathing (respiratory), digestive, reproductive, excretory, nervous, endocrine, skeletal, muscular. Y7 Chemistry a) Describe how materials are made up of particles.
Fundamental b) Know that the atom is the basic building block of matter. particles 1 c) State that elements consist of only one type of atoms. d) Understand that there are approximately 100 elements. e) Use the particle model to explain why different materials have different properties f) Describe the properties of a substance in its three states g) Use ideas about particles to explain the properties of a substance in its three states h) Use the particle model to explain why heating causes expansion in solid, liquids and gases to include melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation and sublimation. i) Use the particle model to explain changes of state involving solids, liquids and gases j) Produce a graph to show temperature changes when heating a substance (stage 4) k) Interpret data about changes of state (stage 4). l) Evaluate the limitations of experiment procedure, when considering factors that affect evaporation (stage 5). m) Use the particle model to explain diffusion (Brownian motion – biology). n) Describe evidence for diffusion (biology). o) Describe and give examples of gas pressure. p) Describe and give examples of solutions and dissolving. q) Explain the meaning of soluble and insoluble substances. r) Explain the meaning of solubility and a saturated solution (crystallisation). s) Explain how temperature affects solubility. You should refer to your Supplementary Revision Guide pages booklet for the Revision Guide pages that you need to revise for each of the topics shown above. You must also use your class notes in your exercise books to prepare for these exams. Don’t forget, the skills from the Science Starts Here unit (you have a booklet) will be tested throughout all of your exams BENNETT MEMORIAL DIOCESAN SCHOOL
