MATHEMATICS

SCIENCE

Chapter 1 - Speed

Speed: How much distance is covered in how much time.

Equation: Speed (m/s) = distance (m) ÷ time (s). S = d ÷ t

Average speed: The overall distance travelled divided by the overall

time for a journey.

Acceleration: How quickly speed increases or decreases.

Relative motion: An objects speed is relative to the observers speed.

Chapter 2 - GravityGravity: Every object exerts a gravitational force on every other object

because they have a mass.

Mass: The amount of stuff in an object (kg).

Weight: The force of gravity on an object (N).

Gravitational field strength: The force of gravity on 1kg (N/kg). Gravity

changes in size depending on the size of the planet you are on e.g.

Earth = 10 N/kg , the moon = 1.6 N/kg. There is less gravity on the

moon, so your weight is less even though your mass stays the same.

Equation: Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)

Chapter 3 – Voltage and Resistance

Section 1Resistance: A property of a component , making it difficult for charge to

pass through, in ohms (Ω)

Equation: Resistance (Ω) = Potential difference (V) ÷ Current (A)

Potential difference (Voltage): The amount of energy shifted from the

battery to the moving charge, or from the charge to the circuit

components, in volts (V).

Electrical conductor: A material that allows current to flow through it

easily, and have a low resistance.

Electrical insulator: A material that does not allow current to flow

easily, and has a high resistance.

Chapter 3 – Voltage and Resistance

Section 2Effect of resistance: Components with resistance reduce the current

flowing and shift the energy to the surroundings in the form of heat.

Chapter 1 to 3

Distance-time graphs

Straight line = constant speed

Curved line = acceleration

The higher the speed, the

shorter the time taken for a

journey

Example:

Earth weight = Mass x Gravity

Earth weight = 56kg x 10 N/kg

Earth weight = 560N

Moon weight = 56kg x 1.6 N/kg

Moon weight = 90N

Measuring voltage in series and parallel

circuits

Voltage is shared in series circuits, reducing the

brightness of bulbs.Example:

Resistance = voltage ÷ current

Resistance = 20V ÷ 4A

Pressure = 5Ω

General rule for pressure: The

smaller the area, the greater the

pressure!

Voltage is NOT shared in

parallel circuits, so the

brightness of bulbs remain

the same.

Section 2 – Changes in State Section 3 – Diffusion and Gas Pressure

Diffusion:

Diffusion is when one substance (liquid or gas) spreads out from a high

concentration to a low concentration due to the random movement of

particles.

Pressure:

Pressure is caused by fluid (gas or liquid) trapped inside it, pushing out

on the walls of the container. This occurs because as the particles

move around randomly they collide with the container itself.

• The more particles trapped inside the greater the pressure

• The greater the temperature the greater the pressure

Chapter 9 -

Mixtures

Solid LiquidGas

Gases:

• Particles are spread

far apart with large

spaces between them.

• Particles are arranged

randomly.

• There is little attraction

between the molecules

and only exert forces

on one another when

they collide.

• Molecules are in

constant and random

motion.

• Particles constantly

collide with each other

and with the walls of

the container.

Solids:

• The particles in the

solid are packed

closely together.

• The particles in a

solid often have a

regular

arrangement.

• These forces

between particles

are strong.

• Solids have a fixed

shape and do not

flow.

• The particles do not

move and are

limited to vibrating

in their positions.

Liquids:

• The particles in the

liquid are close

together.

• The particles are

arranged randomly.

• The forces of attraction

between particles are

stronger in liquids

compared to gases.

• Liquids have a volume

but no definite shape.

• These forces between

particles are weak

allowing liquids to flow.

Section 1 – Particle model of Solids, Liquids and Gases

Section 1 – Elements, Compounds, Mixtures

A- Compound – Contains more than one

element, chemically bonded together.

B- Mixture – Contains more than one elements not

chemically bonded together.

C- Element – only one type of atom

D- Element – only one type of atom

The graph on the left shows a pure

substance as the boiling curve

is smooth. Whereas the graph

on the right shows an impure

substance as the graph

continuously increases.

Section 2 - Solutions

Section 3 – Chromatography

And Filtration

Chromatography

What is it: A method of separating and analysing soluble chemical

substances

Method:

1. Draw a pencil line, on the bottom of a piece of paper

2. Add your samples along the line.

3. Place the bottom of the chromatography paper in water.

4. Let the water move up the paper separating your samples.

Filtration Set up:

What is it: Is used to separate

an insoluble solid from a solution,

producing a liquid filtrate and

leaving behind a solid residue.

Section 4 – Other Separation

Techniques

Distillation

What is it: Distillation is used to separate a solution using the process

of evaporation. Different parts of the solution boil at different

temperatures and then condense in the conical flask at the end.

Set up:

Key word Meaning

Dissolve When a solute mixes completely with a solvent

Soluble Property of a substance that will dissolve in a liquid.

Solution Mixture formed when a solvent dissolves a solute.

SolventA substance, normally a liquid, that dissolves another

substance.

Solute A substance that can dissolve in a liquid.

Solubility How much solute can be dissolved in a solvent.

GEOGRAPHY

HISTORY

HISTORY YEAR 7 HALF TERM 2: Medieval Life

3. Domesday Book• William sent officials all over England to

visit every village and town and ask a series of detailed questions, for example: How much farmland is there? How many people live here? How much is the land worth?

• They interviewed the priest, the steward and six elderly villagers in each village.

• All the records from the surveys were sent to Winchester where one man wrote it all down in Latin.

• The surveys filled two huge books and contained approximately two million words.

1. Medieval Life:• Medieval life was organised into those who lived in the countryside (90%) and those who lived in

the towns and cities (10%).• Life for a Medieval villein was the hardest. They worked the land for the Lord of the Manor for

over 250 days of the year and had to give him the produce that they grew as payment for their land. They also had to pay 10% of their produce as a tithe to the Church.

• Families worked all week and had Sundays off as a ‘Holy Day’, which has become ‘holiday’ today. They would go to church where the children would play games at the back of the church and so would the adults as they couldn’t understand the church service because it was in Latin.

• Freemen may live on the Manor but provided trades such as Blacksmiths, Coppers (barrel makers), masons (builders), tanners (changing hides into leather). They would be free to travel from the Manor to the towns and would earn money.

• If the freemen lived in a town, it would be expected that they would join a ‘guild’ if they were good at their trade. If you weren’t in a guild you couldn’t sell your goods in that town.

Key Vocabulary:Cottager: a villain who lived on the Manor but only had a cottage garden with their houseDemesne: a piece of land attached to the Manor for use by the people who lived thereFreeman: a person who was free to work and travel in EnglandFeudal System: a social structure of people sorted according to importance established by the NormansHierarchy: a system in which people were ranked according to their importanceMagna Carta: the ‘big charter’. A document sealed by King John which enabled the nobles to have more powerPeasant: a person living in the countryside who worked the land (from the French ‘paysanne’)Monarch: King or queen ruling the countryVillein: Common villager

2. Feudal system• William knew he needed help running the country, so he used all the land he owned as a

way of getting assistance• By giving lots of land to his friends (the barons), he got their support and help and some

money when he taxed them• The barons got their money by giving some of their land to knights who then paid taxes

to the barons. • In turn, the knights shared much of their land with the peasants (villeins) who then

farmed the land and paid taxes to the knights. • This way nearly every man in the country got some land BUT he had to promise to be

loyal to the man who gave it to him. • If he broke his promise, he lost his land. • Therefore William had a constant supply of money and support.

Rules The game is started by a place kick or a drop kick from the middle of the halfway line.

The ball must travel forwards at least 10 metres from the kick-off. If this is unsuccessful then the opposing team decide upon a scrum or line out for them to take advantage.

If a penalty or drop goal is scored during the game, play is restarted with a drop kick from the halfway line. The team that has conceded the points takes the kick.

A game lasts 80 minute, with 2x40 minute periods with a 10 minute half time.

Scoring System A try - five points are awarded for touching the ball down in your opponent's goal area.

A conversion - two points are added for a successful kick through the goalposts after a try

A goal kick - three points are awarded for a penalty kick or drop goal through the posts

Tactics - Principles of play

The game is fundamentally and invasion game where two teams compete to score at the far end of the other team’s territory. Possession of the ball is contested from the kick off, the set piece and other contact areas such as the tackle, ruck and maul. Principles of play in attack:

Contest and win possession

Go forward

Manipulate space

Support with pace

Score! Principles of play in defence: • Contest possession

• Go forward and pressure space

• Support

• Continuity in realigning

• Dominate the contact

• Deny the score!

PRINCIPLES OF PLAY

Positioning –

When defending you should be in a flat line with your team mates to create a wall to stop the opposition from going forward.

X X X X X X X

When attacking you should be in an arrow shape so you have got team mates who can support you and team mates that that you can pass to who are in space. X

Puppet

Knowledge

Shadow puppetry is considered the oldest form of puppetry in the world.

It began 1,000's of years ago in China and India.

Shadow plays are often folk-tales and legends of the past.

Traditional shadow puppets are flat and made of leather. Areas within the puppet are punched out with sharp knives.

Puppets are made from separate pieces and joined together with wire or string.

A lamp on the puppeteer's side of the stage provides the light

Puppets are controlled by long rods and moved behind a white screen

The audience sees the moving shadows. Cut-out areas within the figures allow light to shine through
