Here are the Topics for March Test, so do prepare early and do your revision. The test will consist of 50 marks, so make sure you score well. The questions will focus more on the two new topics which we just covered.

Topics for Year 10 Combined Science March Test 2014
Salam and Hello!
Here are the Topics for March Test, so do prepare early and do your revision. The test will consist of 50 marks, so make sure you score well. The questions will focus more on the two new topics which we just covered.
Good luck for your exams. More importantly, please do revise. :)

Topics Physics for March Monthly Test (UPDATE)
UPDATE: Since I am going to attend a workshop next week from Monday to Thursday, I will have to include Topics from Year 7 and 8. I apologize but it has to be done. Sooo start revising boys.
As you already know, the March Monthly Test will be starting on the 31st of March 2014.
The paper will consist of just one paper,
The topics which I have selected are
1.2 Measurement techniques
1.3 Units and symbols
(a)define the terms scalar and vector.
(b)determine the resultant of two vectors by a graphical method.
(c) list the vectors and scalars from distance, displacement, length, speed, velocity, time, acceleration,
mass and force.
(d) describe how to measure a variety of lengths with appropriate accuracy using tapes, rules, micrometers
and calipers using a vernier as necessary.
(e)describe how to measure a variety of time intervals using clocks and stopwatches.
(f) recognise and use the conventions and symbols contained in ‘Signs, Symbols and Systematics’,
Association for Science Education, 2000.
2.2 Graphical analysis of motion
2.3 Free-fall
(a) state what is meant by speed and velocity.
(b) calculate average speed using distance travelled/time taken.
(c) state what is meant by uniform acceleration and calculate the value of an acceleration using change in velocity/time taken.
(d) discuss non-uniform acceleration.
(e) *plot and *interpret speed-time and distance-time graphs.
(f) *recognise from the shape of a speed-time graph when a body is
(1) at rest,
(2) moving with uniform speed,
(3) moving with uniform acceleration,
(4) moving with non-uniform acceleration.
(g) calculate the area under a speed-time graph to determine the distance travelled for motion with uniform
speed or uniform acceleration.
(h) state that the acceleration of free-fall for a body near to the Earth is constant and is approximately
10 m / s2.
(i) describe qualitatively the motion of bodies with constant weight falling with and without air resistance (including reference to terminal velocity).

Physics - Speed, Velocity and Acceleration
This is a very good website for you to read up on on this topic.
Do go to this website here and watch this video. This is the exact video which I have shown you in class, just in case you missed it.
You can also download the exercise which we did today here.
This exercise will be due on Wednesday next week, 12th March 2014.
EDIT (last on 13/3/14):
Check out this website for content that we will cover next lesson.
Also, this is an amazing website to understand kinematics further. Do check it out! :)
Combined Science - Topic 20 Classwork
Hello!
Here is the classwork which I gave to you guys this week. You can attempt these questions at home if you want to, but feel free to discuss your answers in class with your group members. I am very sure this is a very challenging exercise, but once you get the gist of it, you will breeze through Topic 19 AND 20.
If you are still stuck, then ask away. :)
Anyway, this classwork is to be handed in next week on Tuesday, 11th March 2014.

Combined Science - Feeling lost with the current topics?
At the moment, we are covering Topic 20 - The Chemistry of Acid, Bases and Salts. This is a chemistry topic. You can have a look at all of the topics we are going to cover here.
This topic is a continuation from Atomic Structure, Ionic and Covalent bonding and Chemical Formulae and Equations.
I have found a few video clips on youtube to guide you through these topics, just in case you have forgotten:
Atomic Structure -
- Atomic number and mass number (in the Periodic Table)
- What are ions?
- Isotopes
- What are ionic bonds
- Covalent bonds (Part I) and (Part II)
- Formulae of ionic compounds (Part I)and (Part II (polyatomic ions))
- Calculating Mass
These video clips are at most 5 minutes and some are about 15 minutes, so do take time to watch them in your free time.
Oh! and just for fun, EXPLOSIONS! and Sulfuric Acid reaction with sugar!
What did you think of these videos?
