If you need to get a message to her please e-mail her via the school system. Title the message by beginning with 7A (She will then know which group it is from). Do not leave messages in her pigeon hole - she does not need to use it this year!
Homework will be set in Monday's lesson and your book will be collected off you each week in Thursday's lesson. Make sure your book is up to date - missing work copied up and homework is completed. |

| 12th September 2011 |
In Monday's Lesson we:
-
Started the topic of forces - notes that' Force is a push or pull - some are contact forces - some act at a distance. Friction always acts to oppose motion'
-
We then did a little circus of experiments and noted down our findings in rough.
In Thursday's Lesson we:
|
Draw a heading page for physics - make it bold and attractive! |

Monday: OUTING for Centenary - no lesson
|

In Thursday's lesson we:
Some found the mathematical work difficult and didn't manage to get on to plotting the graph. We therefore need to continue this on Monday as it is a very important skill. |
None could be set as there was no Monday lesson
|

In Monday's Lesson we:
- Finished plotting the graph (making use of the full piece of A4 paper and drawing a best fit straight line)
- Discussed the difference between mass and weight
In Thursday's lesson we:
- had a copy of this worksheet
- learnt how to use a Newton Meter

- Did a circus of experiments weighing a 1kg mass on 'different planets'
|
-
Handout for experimental method - to be FIXED in book
