Year+11+Science

Welcome to the Year 11 Science - NCEA Level 1 - Mr Sadgrove coordinating Here you will find the structure of the course, reminders of tests, and any material you need to help pass. Note the course outline below is provisional and will be changed to meet your needs. This year the students have indicated they need a variety of subjects including all the major disciplines within Science: Biology Chemistry Physics Earth Science and Astronomy As a result the program for this year will look as follows: US 18986 v4 Select and use basic scientific equipment: Credits 2. US 6331 v5 Investigate a chemical process: Credits 2. US 6366 v5 Demonstrate knowledge of linear motion: Credits 2. US 6368 v5 Demonstrate knowledge of energy transformations: Credits 2. US 8767 v4 Demonstrate knowledge of heat and temperature: Credits 4. US 18969 v3 Demonstrate knowledge of the characteristics of living things, organs and organ systems: Credits 2. US 18971 v3 Demonstrate knowledge of cells, reproduction, and inheritance: Credits 2. US 18974 v3 Demonstrate knowledge of chemical change: Credits 2. US 18981 v4 Demonstrate basic knowledge of weather: Credits 2. US 18982 v4 Demonstrate knowledge of Earth science: Credits 2. AS 90954 v1 Demonstrate understanding of the effects of astronomical cycles on planet Earth: Credits 4.

Students are encouraged to check the NZQA website for any additional papers they may find useful to their studies. []

I have added the relevant test papers from 2005 to 2008 along with the marking schedule (answers the examiner was wanting) for those papers. To see them you will need to have a PDF viewer such as Adobe installed on the computer. An alternative PDF viewer is Foxit which you can get from here [|Foxit PDF Viewer].

Internal Tests for Unit Standards We will be having the final re-sits for each of the remaining unit standards attempted this year in the first two weeks of Term 4. You can choose to do them at any time up to the day before the test, just let me know. All the revision sheets are now available.

Here are the possibilities. 6329 - Relate similarities and differences within the periodic table to atomic structure - 3 credits

6367 - Explain the results of forces acting on an object - 2 credits
