Monday 8th July lesson

I am not here on Monday so can you all make sure by the Thursday lesson all of your cells, respiratory and cardiovascular assignments are done

Unit 11 deadlines- rescheduled- MAKE NOTE OF THESE DEADLINES

due to a huge amount of people missing the CVS deadline and not attending the respiratory system practical the deadlines are being changed.

Respiratory system
Final practical for the assignment will be on Thursday 23rd May - you must attend to be able to collect the results. you will need to work in pairs.

CVS merit work

Task 2 (M3)

Explain the requirement for a transport system in the body and how this is achieved-Include;

–Transport (gases, nutrients, waste products, hormones, heat)

–Defence

–Regulation (temperature, pH, water content)

–Lymphatic System

For example;

•How does the body deal with the constant leakage of fluid from the cells?

•Which part of the transport system ensures this intracellular fluid is returned?

Remember an annotated diagram is always a good thing

CVS Pass work

You need to hand in:

for each of the 3 practicals:

• your results table
• your graph
• your conclusion

your conclusions must include:

1. What do your results show?
2. Can you explain why your results occurred?
3. Show knowledge of the structure & function of the cardiovascular system
4. Correctly interpret results.
5. Give reasons for any anomalous results

Vasodilation- blood vessels dilate close to the skin to lose heat

Vasocontriction- blood vessels constrict close to the skin to retain heat

vasoconcstriction & dilation stuff

Trip details

I am writing to tell you about the exciting opportunity we have been given to take a group of students to the London Natural History Museum. This event takes place on Tuesday 26^th February 2013, 8.30-6.00 pm.  We will travel by coach to and from the museum.

Students will visit the ‘Cocoon’ exhibition at the museum, which is a self-guided tour and witness real biological specimens, incredible displays and animated interactive activities. Students will get the opportunity to view some of the museums most historic specimens and books for the first time in the historical display area at the start of the tour. Learn about great collectors and naturalists

We will meet outside at the Gipsy Lane Entrance of Cheney School at 8.15am on the 26^th February. Students will need to bring a packed lunch and a drink as there are no lunch facilities at the museum. Food will be available from the school canteen before 8.15am for students to collect if they wish to do so.

We are requesting a voluntary contribution of £14 which includes transport (coach travel), staff cover, and insurance. The trip is subject to there being sufficient funds available to cover the costs and if the amount of voluntary contribution does not cover the cost of the trip, it may not be able to go ahead.  This amount is non-refundable unless the trip is cancelled by the school.  Free School Meal students have already been identified but please ensure you have completed the application paperwork and complete the slip below. If making this contribution will cause you financial hardship, please contact your college.

If you would like your child to attend and you give them parental permission to do so, please fill out the slip below and bring it with your money to the School Shop by Friday 8^th February. Cheques can be made payable to Cheney School.

If by Friday 8^th February we are over-subscribed, to ensure places are allocated fairly, we will draw lots. No cheques will be cashed before this date.

titration results table

titration stuff you need

1. Write a method & equipment list for an acid-base titration using sodium hydroxide & hydrochloric acid with phenolphthalein indicator.

(draw the equipment/method)

2. Write a risk assessment for this titration

-refer to COSHH, CLEAPPS, hazard symbols and waste disposal information in your risk assessment.

3. Draw yourself results table to record results

making standard solution 2

 

Preparing a standard solution of 100cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 HCl from 2.0 mol dm-3 HCl stock.

Step 1: use the formula

Vs = Vf x CF/ CI

Step 2: definitions

Vs  volume of solution needed to be diluted to give the required concentration

Vf  the final volume required (100cm3)

CF   final concentration required (1.0mol dm-3)

CI   initial concentration (2.0 mol dm-3)

Step 3: calculate the volume of solution needed to be diluted

Vs = 100 x 1.0/2.0

=cm3

So, to prepare a standard solution of 100cm3 of 1.0mol dm-3 HCl from 2.0 mol dm-3 HCl, you would measure out BBcm3 of 2.0 mol dm-3 HCl stock in a volumetric flask and make up the volume to 100cm3.
