The Heath School Science Department

Welcome from the The Heath School's Science department! Here you'll find, revision techniques, key facts and reminders about support available in school.

Higher tier students need to know why you will be doing this with your hand in the exam! #Physics #minimock

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

What kind of magnet can you turn on and off and increase the strength of? How do you make it? #Physics #minimock

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

Electromagnetism minimock tomorrow!
Why does the Earth have a magnetic field? Hint what is the core of the Earth made from? #physics #minimock

@Primrose_Kitten @OxfordEdScience What type of pondweed do you use? We can never get it to work since Cabomba was banned!

#Physics #Mocktip This Greek guy gives us a clue for the density question

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

#Physics #mocktip How could you find the density of this chess piece? What equation would you use? What measurements would you take?

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

#Physics #mocktips Remember this from KS3? You have to describe and apply the particle model in your GCSE. Easy? Just remember you also need to describe their motion. Solids- vibrate in fixed positions, Liquids - free to move, Gases - random directions, range of speeds

An Evening of Dissection with Mr Jenkins 👁🧠☠️👨🏻‍⚕️

#Physicstrilogy Mock tip circuit symbol of the day - Fuse. Very useful if too much current flows through your hairdryer and is about to set it on fire!

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

#Biologytrilogy mock tip What 3 things do white blood cells do to defend the body against pathogens?

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

#PhysicsTrilogy Mock tip - The current of a river is the flow of water. Electric current is the flow of charge. If more charge flows per second the current is higher. Equation of the day:
Charge flow = current x time
C A s

#ChemistryTrilogy #Foundationmock How about this form of carbon? Some people like to wear it on a ring?!?

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

#ChemistryTrilogy #Foundationmock Do you know what form of carbon this is?

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

#PhysicsTrilogy Higher Mock: What actually are the 3 types of radiation? Alpha particles are made of 2 protons (positive) and 2 neutrons (neutral). Beta particles are fast moving electrons (negative) much smaller than an alpha particle. Gamma radiation is an electromagnetic wave

[The Heath School Science Department @theheathscience]

#PhysicsTrilogy Foundation Mock Do you know the differences between the 3 types of radiation? Alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha is very ionising but gamma has the longest range and passes through paper and thin metal. An alpha source was used to poison KGB agent litvnenko in 2006!

Don't spend ages making your notes look pretty
Tip 2
— this is just wasting time. For diagrams, include all the details you need to learn, but don't try to produce a work of art. Limit yourself to 2 or 3 colours so you don't get carried away colouring things in.
