Technology : the effects of electrical current

Hello everyone, 

In this technology class we discussed the effects of electrical currents, types of energy and how they are produced. 





Watch the video and try to answer the questions!

Technology : Series and parallel circuits

Image
 Hello everyone,  In this Technology class we discussed the differences between parallel and series circuits and how to use Ohms law to answer questions about circuits.  This video is a great resource to give students an overview of the theme:  Check out the worksheet here: In a parallel circuit , the current flows along more than one path to each of the components.  In a series circuit , the current flows along one path through all the components.  Ohms law : As the voltage across a resistor is increased, what happens to the resistance of the resistor  It decreases  It remains constant  It increases  2. What is the current in this circuit?  6A 2A 0.5 A 3. What is the resistance of the resistor in this circuit?  20 Ω 1.8Ω 0.05Ω 4. If the resistance in the circuit is halved, what will the current be?  0.3A 0.6A 0.15A 5. The diagram shows part of a circuit. What is the resistance of the resistor shown?  9Ω 4Ω 0.25Ω 6. T...

Physical Education : The Eatwell Plate

Image
 Hello everyone,  Students in Phyiscal Education have been studying diet and healthy eating, so I thought I would introduce them to the Eatwell Plate. This plate is a visual aid to help us understand how much from each food group we should have in our diet.  We used an interactive resource from Food Standards Scotland   to complete our own Eatwell Plate buy adding each item of food to the relevant section. Students then completed their own Eatwell Plate on the worksheet below:  They drew images of the food items we saw during the interactive activity and wrote down the names of fruit and vegetables, carbohydrates, protein, fats and dairy products.  In the next class we completed a quiz about the Eatwell plate to test their understanding, how many answers do you know?  Check out the answers here !

Biology : Deadly mushrooms

Image
 Hello everyone,  Students have been learning about fungi in Biology class, so I decided to give them a lesson all about deadly mushrooms. We watched a video about the diverse uses for mushrooms and then split the class into pairs. Each pair was assigned a different mushroom and given a fact card about their fungi. They had to read the information, and then share their findings with the rest of the class, before completing a poster fact file. Check out all of the info below!  Death cap  The Death cap is a deadly poisonous fungus. It is found across Europe, and now in other parts of the world. The mushrooms appear in summer and autumn; they are generally green in colour with a white stalk. The Death cap is one of the most poisonous of all known mushrooms. It is estimated that as little as half a mushroom contains enough toxin to kill an adult human. It has been involved in the majority of human deaths from mushroom poisoning, possibly including the deaths of Roman Emp...
