Assignments

Today we are going to make sure that we've finished off P8 for physics (about Ohm's Law) and P1 for Biology (questions on the Golden Lion Tamarin). If you haven't done both of these, use the questions this page to do them now, then hand them in.

If you've already done both of these assignments, complete the following questions on DNA, which we will be using for an assignment after Christmas:

1. Complete this activity, writing down where DNA is located in the cell. 
2. Which things have DNA in them?
3. What are some similarities between you and a plant in terms of DNA?
4. What are some differences between you and the plant? (use the link above).
5. Explain what genotype and phenotype mean:
6. Complete this activity. How long would it take you to reproduce a genome at the rate you work at?
7. Copy the image below onto your page, and explain what it is, using the information on this page to help. What are the different coloured sections representing?                                                                                                 
8. Try this activity or this one.

Golden Lion Tamarins - P1

Today we're going to start work on the next assignment task for Biology.  You already have the assignment sheet from doing P2 about snakes, this section is about a monkey called the Golden Lion Tamarin.
Answer the following in a word document:

1. How many Golden Lion Tamarins are there in the wild?
2. Why has it become endangered?
3. What animals depend on it for food? What would happen to them if it became extinct?
4.  What impact would it’s extinction have on the plants it eats?
5.  What actions that can be put in place to stop the decline of the species?

Save and print your work as it will help you meet P1 for Biology!
