34	The particle model.	Kahoot - solids liquids and gases States of matter and particles within them Applying the particle model Lesson notes  Friday	Particle model exercise Particle model answers	Complete the sheet from the lesson - stick all the pieces in the correct places. Answers are here.
35	Temperature and heat.  Measurement of temperature.  Using different thermometers. Experiment - main focus is recording	Understanding heat and temperature - the difference.    Temperature scales.  Thermometers:  how a liquid in glass thermometer works.	Friday  group s	In your notebook, write you have learned about the water temperatures, and suggest an improvement to make the experiment more accurate (=exact, better numbers),
36	Heat transfer methods and recording data	Thermometer Kahoot Reviewing the experiment from last time, Experiment on cooling water. Recording data scientifically Lesson notes 10.15 group		Answer in a couple of sentences. Why is it important to record data in neat, labeled tables?
37	Heat transfer methods. Predicting and hypothesising	How heat energy moves 10.15 lesson  notes Conduction of heat along a bar Conduction animation -internal energy Convection particle video Quick video clip explaining convection currents		Using the ideas of conduction and convection, explain how a down jacket (untuvatakki) keeps you warm.
38	Heat transfer methods and variables.	Fluffy bird Animal image  Heat loss from a human body in cold weather Radiation   video  Introducing variables Powerpoint Video - what are variables? Information sheet Understanding variables Poster on variables Lesson notes Friday 10.15 group 12.30 group		This form
39	Investigation  - predicting and hypothesising.	Reviewing the homework How to write a prediction and hypothesis How to plan an experiment Black and silver bottles - taking and processing results Lesson notes Friday 10.15 group 12.30 group Instruction sheet Writing frame Additional help for the headings on the writing frame		Read through the sheets given in the lesson. Make sure you understand what it is you need to do in the investigation.
40	Investigation  - how to write a good method	Lesson notes 10.15 group  This video is a quick guide to writing the apparatus and method parts of an investigation		Complete the plan/method and variables/safety part of the investigation sheet. To help you with the plan/method style of writing: this video is a quick guide to writing the apparatus and method parts of an investigation
41	Investigation	10.15 group lesson notes		Complete the evaluation. The deadline to hand in the investigation is the START of next lesson. This video of what I did in class to explain the evaluation may help.
42	Animal thermoregulation assignment - on Teams
43	24.10	No lesson - autumn break
44	EM spectrum   Light. Colour	Investigation feedback - marking grid  if you wish to access this, you will be asked for permission through google. The dress What is colour ?    Primary colours of light How we see colour? Short video - seen in class Wavelength,   frequency Lesson notes 10.15 12.30 Additional resources: Medium length video, old but valid A longer video if you would like to know more. It is also old but valid    Light pillars, YLE November 2022 Why is the sky blue ?  Light in nature Seeing coloured objects in coloured lights		Use this link - there are questions for you to do and you will need your Ilmiö book
45	Electromagnetic spectrum	I was off sick so there are no notes. The video which was set to watch in the lesson are here: Electromagnetic spectrum		Study for the open notebook test.  You may think you do not need to study, but if your notebook is to be useful in the test, you need to know what is in it.  Here is a video for tips too, which goes through each point below on the tips page . Your absolute priority this week is to make sure none of your notes are missing.
46	Going through the work for the test			Study for the test. Do not forget your notebook next lesson! Kahoots Thermometers and temperature 02654125 Solids, liquids and gases 08560097 Pretest kahoot from last lesson 03987631
47	test
48	Reflection and refraction	Lesson notes 10.15 group 12.30 group		No homework
49	Sound	Sound is another form of wave energy, which is the longitudinal vibration of particles Sound travels at about 330 m/s in air Sound is detected by the human ear High frequency sound we cannot hear is called ultrasound The loudness of sound is measured in decibels, dB Noise is unwanted sound or sound that causes a disturbance	Online tone generator Shattering a wine glass Chladni's plate Rope bridge resonance Tacoma bridge Human ear diagram decibel scale Human using sound for echo location
