FORM 1 RESOURCES - ONLINE
Below is a listing of websites for you to go to as we do a topic:
1. Materials and their properties
2. Matter - the particle model of matter. Do the activity, you can also click on the tab to revise or do a test!
3. Changing states of matter - Interactive video about the artic and Interactive lab (teacher resources)
4. The Periodic Table of Elements game - and visual Elements webpage
5. Atomic structure
6. Compounds
7. Mixtures
8. Energy - try doing one of these energy projects or this project
Resources on nuclear energy - go to the webpage and look at the videos
9. CELLS - A good introduction to cells; including how small they are. A good summary of cell theory can be found here. There are also some higher level resources (more for your teacher to use)
2a. Microscopes History - Here is a link to microscope evolution and here and even an interactive website on microscope history.
2b. Using microscopes - Check out this interactive site and this clickable microscope. Here is a game on how to use the microscope.

CELLS - Lesson 3 and 4 - Animal and Plant cells.
Download the powerpoint presentations shown in class and try drawing your own cells in paint.
For an interactive website visit Cells Alive website and click on the parts of animal and plant cells.
CELLS - Lesson 5 - Comparing animal and plant cells
CELLS - LESSON 7 - CELL SPECIALIZATION I
CELLS - LESSON 8 - CELL SPECIALIZATION II |
Download the notes on the microscope in the document above called CELLS - 2 MICROSCOPE NOTES and look at the last slide for instructions on the PROJECT
CELLS - Lesson 6 - Unicellular and Multicellular organisms; surface area to volume ratio (SA:V)
Look at the YouTube videos below for an introduction to unicellular and multicellular organisms and then why cells are so small . A closer look at single celled organisms can be found here also. Then go to the Johnson's Exploration on cell size and manipulate the webpage to see how volume changes as surface area changes, CELLS - LESSON 9 - FROM CELLS TO TISSUES AND ORGANS
|
CELLS - LESSON 10 - DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS
Check out this interactive website that shows how diffusion and osmosis works. And this website on the same thing but more detailed - Concepts in Biochemistry. Select the options diffusion/osmosis.
|
Look at the how diffusion can occur in the picture below.

MICROORGANISMS/ MICROBES
Microorganisms are so small they cannot be seen with the naked eye. You already met the microscope when you were looking at cells and you already know there are unicellular and multicellular organisms. Check out this cool interactive webpage by the Children's University of Manchester.
You will realize that not all microorganisms are bad. Having bacteria or fungi in your body is a good thing. Do a websearch and come up with your own list of ways that microorganism can help us such as:
1. Provide a source of food - making bread, cheese, yoghurt and even alcohol.
2. Making medicines - antibiotics and insulin
3. Decomposition - breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients
4. Treating sewage - cleaning water and generating energy
5. Genetic engineering - the possibilities seem endless!
After your web search feel free to try an online quiz at Quizlet. First read the definitions, then click on flashcard to do a little quiz.
