Task: students interpret diagrams to consider the effects of tidal changes on rock pools. Assessment focus: relationship of living things with their physical environment.
Students calculate the height of two cylinders given the radius, and identify a correct general statement about the relationship between radius and height for a given volume.
Using multi-link cubes students construct and explore a growing sequence of step models, then they apply this information to continue the pattern without the cubes.
Using multi-link cubes students investigate the number of faces visible in a sequence of step models, then they use this information to continue and record the pattern in a table.
Students are provided with a diagram showing layers of rock and three possible results of changes that could occur. Words and phrases are provided to help students answer several short answer questions about the possible cause of the changes.
This practical task requires students to describe to a partner their observations about an ice cube melting. Students then develop questions about what they observe.
