Not teaching Science anymore!!

Dear all,

Due to more administration duties and the appointment of a full time Science teacher I am not teaching Science anymore.

I am now teaching IGCSE Geography and Middle School Social Sciences.

You could still contact me should you have any questions, by leaving a comment.

Take care,

Jacques

MS 1 – Humans as organisms.

MS 1 has started their inquiry into humans as organisms. The last couple of weeks we have looked at cells and one cellular organisms, comparing them to multi-cellular organisms. MS 1 will study different human systems in the next term.

MS 1 need to choose a autonomous project related to human beings, being well-functioning organisms. They are expected to write a research essay (minimum 1200 words) or perform and write up an investigation or built a model (with an accompanying report) explaining a human system of their choice.

 

MS 2: Electricity – Autonomous work

 

MS 2 has started their new science unit last week. We will look at:

Separating a mixture of different liquids.

 MS 3 has attempted today to seperate a mixture that contains 50 ml of water, 50 ml of ethanol and 50 ml of cooking oil. They had some wonderful ideas which they tried out and built their own distillation chambers using boiling tubes with side arms, plastic bottles, ice water and tubing.

Unfortunately we ran out of time and the investigation could not be completed. LP’s will brain storm ideas to see how they can improve their self-made distillation equipment.

Humans as organisms….

 MS 1 has started their new Science unit of inquiry called “Humans as organisms”, and they looked at the building blocks of life- cells!

We will start the unit by comparing plant and animal cells with each other to see the similarities and differences between them. Learning partners prepared microscope slides of onion and human cheek cells to study.
