Tutor Group ….................................

Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That’s called doing your homework.

Jim Rohn, Entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker

Homework matters

At The Carlton Academy we believe that completion of meaningful homework is vital to the success of our students. It isn’t the just the

work completed in lessons that will determine the success of our students. They need to spend time independently honing the

knowledge and skills required for success. The benefits of learning to study independently stretch beyond just academic success. Our

students will develop skills of self-motivation, organisation and time management that will benefit that in many walks of life in the

future.

The research into homework and how students learn effectively shows that short frequent knowledge-learning tasks, with an emphasis

on self-quizzing will yield the greatest success for our students. In this booklet you will find descriptions of techniques and the resources

needed to successfully build a solid base of background knowledge. Completing this vital preparatory work at home allows more time in

lesson to be spend applying knowledge and in creative learning activities.

How to use this booklet

• This booklet contains pages for each subject. You should use these pages to support you in completing your homework.

• Each piece of homework should only take 30 minutes . You should set aside some of this time to check, mark and correct your

work.

• The tables on the following pages show you which subjects you must do homework for each week. You are must complete

homework for every subject, regardless of whether it is on Show My Homework.

• All work is to be done in your blue homework book.

• The homework books will be checked in lessons and during tutor time each week.

• The learning from the homework tasks will be checked through quizzing in lessons.

• Below are some activities that you can choose to do. It is very important that you do not just copy the information from the booklet

into your homework book.

Big Homework

Alongside factual knowledge, we also want students to have the opportunity to work on more extended pieces of work. We call these

pieces of work Big Homeworks. Each half term there will be a piece of Big Homework for one subject. This half term it is for science.

Rather than a knowledge organiser, the science page has information and guidance about how to complete the Big Homework. You

should spend your science homework time each week working on your Big Homework

Show my homework

We use Show My Homework to communicate with students and parents. To increase the clarity of information put on Show My

Homework, each Show My Homework message will include the following points:

• The week number and the dates, as outlined in the tables later in this booklet, between which the homework should be completed

• The date the homework is set will be the start of the week

• The due date for the homework will be the end of the week which the homework should be completed. This will be a Sunday.

• Any extra direction that the teacher wishes to give eg. A particular activity that they want the students to complete

You must complete all the homework in a given week, as outlined in the tables later in this booklet, even if it has not been entered on

Show My Homework.

Presentation

• The work that you do in your homework book must be completed in blue or black ink

• Drawings should be done in pencil.

• Each piece of work must have a date and a title.

• The date and title must be underlined using a ruler.

• You should draw a ruled lined across the page at the end of each piece of work.

• When you use a resource eg a revision clock, this must be stuck in.

PlasticsWoods

Manufactured Boards

• Self finishing. No need to sand/paint/varnish.• Can be made into complex shapes due to wide range

of moulding/forming processes.• Readily available• Large environmental impact• Not biodegradableThermoplastic – Plastic that can be heated and re-moulded.Easy to recycle.Thermosetting Plastic – Plastic that can be heated to mould, but not reheated.Can’t be recycled.

Hardwood – usually obtained from deciduoustrees, which lose their leaves in autumn.

• usually grow in warmer more humid climates, mainly in South America and Asia

• grow slowly (80+ years)

• are more difficult to sustain than softwoods

• are more expensive than softwoods

• are strong and hardwearing.

Forest Stewardship Council works to improve forest management worldwide.

The FSC trademarks provide a guarantee to consumers that the products they buy come from responsible sources.

Softwood – usually obtained from coniferoustrees, which keep their leaves in winter.

• usually grow in colder climates and are mainly grown in Scandinavia and Northern Europe

• grow thin, needle-like leaves

• grow relatively quickly (30 years)

• are easier to sustain than hardwood trees

• are easy to cut and shape

• are usually cheaper than hardwoods.

Made from the waste sections of felled trees – the parts which are of little use as planks. The wood is reduced to pulp, particles or thin strips and bonded together using special adhesives or resins.• come in sheet form (usually 1.2 x 2.4m)• are extremely stable and of uniform thickness• are less expensive than laminating planks of timber• can be covered with veneers• are available in a variety of thicknesses (3, 6, 9, 12,

15, 18, 22mm etc).

Non-Renewable Resources

Raw materials that come from non-renewable (finite) resources that are in limited supply. Examples of these include oil, ores and minerals. They are natural materials but they will eventually run out.

Renewable Resources

Renewable means we can create more as long as they are regrown or replaced. Examples include timber (wood/card/paper) or cotton etc. Timber that carries the FSC logo is renewable as it is replanted.

SustainabilityThe products we manufacture are consuming the Earths resources at an alarming rate.

Sustainability refers to products that have been designed and made to have a lesser impact on the environment. Responsible designers and companies modify design ideas to ensure that sustainability issues are taken into account when choosing materials, processes and finishes.

Materials fall into two categories:

Carbon FootprintEvery product we manufacture has a carbon footprint due to the CO2 released during the products life cycle. The carbon produced has a serious impact on our global warming and companies can reduce this impact by limiting their use of fossil fuels, energy consumption and designing for reuse or recycling.

Design and Technology

http://www.technologystudent.com/

Is when a company use research and development to find new technologies. This is then applied to a new innovative product. An example is Bluetooth, Companies now find ways to include this in other products. E.g. Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth cars etc.

Technology Push Woods Joints

ElectronicsCircuits consist of:-

Inputs – Switches and types of sensors that can detect.

Process- usually a micro processer or micro chip this component can think and make decisions.

Output- Something that does something usually a buzzer, light or motor.

Lever

A lever changes an input movement and force into an output movement and force. The load is the object to be moved.The effort is the force applied to move the load.

A lever moves around a fixed point called a pivot or fulcrum.

Designers /design movements– Research some of these designers and movementsDesign Movements:-• Art Nouveau• Art Deco• Memphis• Bauhaus

Designers:-• James Dyson• William Morris• Alec Issigonis• Ettore Sottsass• Marcel Breuer

Cams and Followers

A cam mechanism has three parts – a cam, a slide and a follower.

When the cam rotates, the follower moves up and down in a reciprocating motion.

This is when market demand drives the need for new products eg. Teenagers kept dropping mobiles and smashing the screens so pop sockets were invented.

Fibres

Making fabrics

Natural fibres

Tiny ‘hairs’ that are spun into yarns – the threads that are woven or knitted into fabrics.

• Fibres come in lengths – short = staple fibres and long = filaments.

• Yarns made from filaments are smooth• Yarns made from staple fibres tend to be ‘hairier’.• Yarns are available in different thicknesses:

- 1-ply = single yarn- 2-ply = two yarns twisted together- 3-ply = three yarns twisted together

Woven – interlacing two sets of yarns.

Knitted – interlocking one or more yarns together using loops.

Bonded – non –woven ‘webs’ made of synthetic fibres glued or melted together.

Fibres obtained from natural sources (plants and animals). Harvested and processed before being spun into yarn.• Come from renewable sources (always produce more)• Sustainable. • Biodegradable• Often recyclable. • Absorbent and strong when dry• Poor resistance to biological damage e.g. moths and

mold.

Wool:• From a sheep’s fleece – sheared, cleaned, washed

(scoured) and combed (carding).LINEN:• From the stalk of a flax plant – remove the seeds, loosen

the bark (retting), remove the bark (scutching), carding.COTTON:• From the seed pods of the cotton plant – treated with

chemicals, cleaned, seeds removed, carding.SILK:• From the cocoon made by silk worms – soften the gum

by soaking in warm water, the filament is then unwound (reeling).

Synthetic fibresMan-made fibres made from polymers that come mainly from coal or oil.POLYESTER, LYCRA, ACRYLIC (coal):• Crude oil is heated to separate the chemicals, some

of the chemicals are made into polymers, polymers are melted to form a liquid, it’s then cooled to form long filaments that are turned into yarn.

NYLON (oil):• Coal is heated in a container to make a sludge called

coal tar, the chemicals are turned into monomers which are used to form filaments and turned to yarn.


Temperatures to store food and cook food0-5 degrees- fridge temperature -18 degrees freezer temperature Food is said to be cooked and bacteria killed at 75 degrees for 2 minutes

Eatwell Guide

Seasonality in foodSeasonality of food refers to the times of year when a given type food is at its peak, either in terms of harvest or its flavour. This is usually the time when the item is the cheapest and the freshest on the market.

Food Storage Top Shelf - It is best for pre-prepared foods such as yogurt, cheese and sauces. Store cooked meat and leftovers in sealed containers on the shelves underneath.

Bottom shelf -

Keep raw meat, fish and poultry in its sealed packaging, or place it in sealed containers and store on the bottom shelf.

Door racks -

The door racks are a good place for eggs, condiments, jam and fruit juice.

Carbohydrates- They need to be wholemeal and starchy so they are slowly realised to give us energy. Proteins- This is needed for growth and repair you should have at least 2 portions of fish a week and eat less processed proteins. Dairy and Fats- This helps with strong bones and teeth. Fats help protect your vital organs. You need to choose low fat products Fruit and vegetables- 5 portions of fruit and veg should be eaten each day. This helps get all your vital vitamins. Oil and spreads- Choose unsaturated options and ensure only small amounts are eaten.

Stage LightingPARCAN is simply a shell holding a Par

lamp, a sealed bulb with a fixed beam angle

that produces a powerful narrow beam. Par

lamps come with Very Narrow, Narrow,

Medium and Wide beam angles. They can

create curtains of light, especially in heavy

colours. Their drawback as theatre lights is

that they cannot be focused – i.e. their

beams’ size and shape cannot be changed.

FLOODS are used to provide large area

washes of light. They come equipped with

a gel frame and are especially useful for

lighting backcloths. The beam cannot be

shaped, so generally other lantern types

are more flexible.

PROFILE SPOTS will give you a sharply defined image in outline of any object. They are fitted with shutters, usually four, which can be pushed into the light beam, shaping its appearance on stage. The beam can be focused from very hard-edged to very soft. There is usually a slot cut into the body of the lantern, which accepts Gobo’s – cut out metal patterns whose image is projected onto the stage.

FRESNEL lanterns give a soft-edged beam with large size variation. Used to create large washes of light sometimes highly colored, but as beam size and shape can be altered it is preferable to the Flood. They have external barn doors, which shape the beam but don’t sharpen it like the shutters on the Profile.

The structure of the Earth

The Crust Varies in thickness (5-10km beneath the ocean. Made up of serval large plates.

The Mantle Widest layer (2900km thick). The heat and pressure means the rock is in a liquid state that is in a state of convection.

The Innerand outer Core

Hottest section (5000 degrees). Mostly made of iron and nickel and is 4x denser than the crust. Inner section is solid whereas outer layer is liquid.

Types of Plate Margins

Destructive Plate Margin

When the denser plate subducts beneath the other, friction causes it to melt and become molten magma. The magma forces its ways up to the surface to form a volcano. This margin is also responsible for devastating earthquakes.

Constructive Plate Margin

Here two plates are moving apart causing new magma to reach the surface through the gap. Volcanoes formed along this crack cause a submarine mountain range such as those in the Mid Atlantic Ridge.

Conservative Plate Margin

A conservative plate boundary occurs where plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or in the same direction but at different speeds. This is responsible for earthquakes such as the ones that happening along the San Andreas Fault, USA.

Collision Zones

Collision zones form when two continental plates collide. Neither plate is forced under the other, and so both are forced up and form fold mountains. These zones are responsible for shallow earthquakesin the Himalayas.

Causes of Earthquakes

Earthquakes are caused when two plates become locked causing friction to build up. From this stress, the pressure will eventually be released, triggering the plates to move into a new position. This movement causes energy in the form of seismic waves, to travel from the focus towards and the epicentre. As a result, the crust vibrates triggering an earthquake.

The point directly above the focus, where the seismic waves reach first, is called the EPICENTRE.

SEISMIC WAVES (energy waves) travel out from the focus.

The point at which pressure is released is called the FOCUS.

Volcanic Hazards

Ash cloud Small pieces of pulverised rock and glass which are thrown into the

atmosphere.

Gas Sulphur dioxide, water vapour and carbon dioxide come out of the

volcano.

Lahar A volcanic mudflow which usually runs down a valley side on the

volcano.

Pyroclastic flow A fast moving current of super-heated gas and ash (1000oC). They

travel at 450mph.

Volcanic bomb A thick (viscous) lava fragment that is ejected from the volcano.

Tsunami Formation

Tsunamis can often occur at destructive plate boundaries, where the trench

(where the plates meet) lies under the ocean.

1. Oceanic plate subducts (goes under) continental plate.

2. Pressure build up and eventually an earthquake occurs.

3. The plate can ‘flick’ up and move the ocean upwards causing a large wave.

4. These waves are often fast moving but small in size in deep ocean but get

slower and larger as they move into the shallow.

Optional extra research

This half term you will be studying the Industrial Revolution. You will be looking at working conditions, living conditions, politics, transport and crime. You may want to do some research on these topics and record notes in your homework books. You could then, if you wanted to, use these notes in your end of unit assessment.

History

Our weekly homework routines…

1You will always be set at least one homework a week by your teacher.

2

Your teacher will choose the lesson they want you to learn and will pick it so that you are revising an important Maths topic for revision. As such, you have already probably covered it in class but might have forgotten so your homework is to revise as, to be a great learner, you need to revise all the time (not just before tests!).

3You need to spend 30 minutes on your homework as this shows effort and commitment and will ensure that you do quality homework.

4

You will always be expected to i) watch the video + take notes;ii) write down your quiz workings neatly;iii) mark your own work, make corrections and

write down your score at the end.

5

Homework will be checked by your teacher in class once a week during your starter. You will be expected to bring your homework book to class and leave it open on the desk for your teacher to inspect.

Reggae has a strong ‘off-beat’ rhythm. Most popular music has 4 beats in every bar and the first beat in each bar is the strong beat. But in reggae beats 2 and 4 are accented,

This is known as ‘offbeat’.

Bones & Muscles

There are 206 bones in the human body, all of which serve some purpose as part of the framework. Bones are connected to each other by ligaments, without these –we wouldn’t be able to move different parts of our body. Find a list below of the scientific names for the bones you need to know as well as what you might already know them as:

• Cranium (Skull)• Clavicle (Collar bone)• Scapula (Shoulder blade)• Vertebrae (Spine)• Sternum (Breastbone)• Ribs• Humerus (Upper arm)• Radius & Ulna (Forearm)• Carpals (Wrist)• Metacarpals (Hands)• Phalanges (Fingers & Toes)• Pelvis• Femur (Upper leg)• Patella (Kneecap)• Tibia & Fibula (Lower leg)• Tarsals (Ankle)• Metatarsals (Feet)

As humans, we house approximately 640 muscles in our body! Muscles are connected to the bones by tendons. Even basic exercise such as walking would not be possible without the muscles we have. Below is a list of muscles, and their locations, which you will need to know:

• Trapezius (Top of back)• Deltoids (Shoulders)• Pectorals (Chest)• Biceps (Front of arm)• Triceps (Back of arm)• Latissimus Dorsi (Sides of the back)• Abdominals (Stomach)• Quadriceps (Front of upper leg)• Hamstrings (Back of upper leg)• Gluteals (Bottom)• Gastrocnemius (Calves)

Can you think of any athlete that requires specific muscles to help them

perform their sport?

Can you name any other bones or muscles that haven’t been listed?

The Big DebateNormally in R.E students are given a short answer test to prepare for as

their homework. Due to the nature of this topic, we are unable to provide students with a test of this kind. Instead of this, students will receive their homework on a fortnightly basis from their class teacher

based on the work they have been doing in the lesson.

There is however, some key words, and the structure of the answers they will be writing to help them.

Analyse = examine something in detail to explain or interpret it (take it apart, deconstruct it).

Evaluate = to make a judgement (with respect to information or issues) and draw justified conclusions.

Civil war = a war between citizens of the same country.

Slaughter = the killing of many people cruelly and unfairly, especially in a war.

Capital Punishment = the legally authorised killing of someone as punishment for a crime.

Structure of a big debate question

Paragraph One

Arguments in support of the statement (give 3 separate clear, evidenced and explained points. At least 1-2 sentences for each point). A religious opinion if possible, which is explained.

Paragraph Two

Arguments against the statement (3 separate clear, evidenced and explained points. At least 1-2 sentences for each point). A religious opinion if possible, which is explained.

Paragraph Three

Conclusion (draw together both sides of the argument and clearly explain your overall point of view).

• Objects can be charged positively or negatively by transferring electrons. • Protons have a positive charge (+1), neutrons have no charge (0) and electrons have a negative charge (-1).• Like charges repel.• Opposite charges attract.• Insulators do not let heat or electricity pass through (high resistance).• Conductors do let heat or electricity pass through (low resistance).W

• Electric current is the amount of charge flowing per second.

• You measure current in amps (A) using an ammeter.

• The cell or battery pushes charge around the circuit.

• The potential difference of a cell tells you the size of the push on the charges.

• You measure potential difference in volts (V) using a voltmeter.

• Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).

• Series circuits contain only one loop.• Current is the same anywhere in a

series circuit• Potential difference is shared

between the components

• Magnetic material is always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic

• Iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic materials• Magnets have a north pole and south pole. • Like poles repel and opposite poles attract.• Magnetic fields go form the north to the south

pole • Electromagnets are controlled by a current that

can be turned on and off.• Electromagnets are used in maglev trains,

hospitals and cars.WEE

Group 1 metals• Are found on the left of the periodic table.• Group 1 metals are also called Alkali metals. • They are good conductors of electricity and heat. • They are also shiny when freshly cut. • They have low melting and boiling points, and

low densities. • They are also very reactive with water, reacting to

make hydroxides and hydrogen gas.

Group 1 metal + water → Metal hydroxide + hydrogen

• Group1 metals also react with oxygen so need to be stored in oil.

• As you go down Group 1, the reactivity increases, the mass increases and the melting/boiling points decrease.

• Group 7 elements are also called Halogens. • They are non-metals, with low melting points and do not conduct electricity. • Going down Group 7, melting/boiling points increases, the state changes, colour get

darker and reactivity decreases.• In displacement reactions, the more reactive element displaces a less reactive element

from its compound.

• Group 0 elements are called noble gases, they are unreactive. • Group 0 include Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon• Helium is used in balloons, neon is used in lights, argon is used in lightbulbs, krypton is

used in lasers.
