7I RPE Interview

30 Sep

Your job is to choose someone (or more than one person) to interview about what RPE was like when they went to school.

Open a copy of the 7I RPE Interview. Then you can either:

  • Print it out and fill it in then bring it to school.
  • Fill it in on the computer, then print it out and bring it to school.
  • Fill it in on the computer then save a copy and email me.
  • Write it out in your book and bring it to school.

Please find someone suitably old to interview and make sure you don’t catch them at a bad time!

If you have any trouble with this then please come to find me or email me BEFORE the lesson so we can sort it out. I won’t be impressed if you tell me there was a problem at the beginning of the lesson.

Good luck! Please leave a comment if you have questions…

Year 11 Science and Religion Revision

20 Sep

You lot need to revise for the end of unit test on “Science and Religion” which will take place next Wednesday (28th September) for 11D.

What you need to know:

  • Origins of the world and life
  • Scientific theories about the origins of the world and humanity
  • Teachings about the origins of the world and humanity
  • The relationship between scientific and religious understandings of the origins of the world and humanity
  • People and animals
  • The place of humanity in relation to animals
  • Attitudes to animals and their treatment
  • Environmental issues
  • Responses to environmental issues
  • Concept of stewardship
  • Religious teachings relating to environmental issues

Below are some hopefully helpful resources for you!

Scientific Revolution PowerPoint
Religion vs Science PowerPoint
Christian beliefs about People and Animals
The use of animals
Stewardship quotes

Part D Model Answer: Explain why Christians believe God intended humans to be more important than other forms of life.

There are several examples in the book of Genesis which Christians use to show that humans are more important than other creatures. Firstly, God created humans last, which suggests that they are the pinnacle of creation. Secondly, only humans were created in the “image of God” and were given the “breath of life”, which shows that humans share something of God’s nature which other creatures do not. These two also imply that humans have a “soul” which distinguishes us from the rest of creation and makes us special.
Finally, human beings were given authority and a position of stewardship over the animals. This authority is shown in the story of Adam being given the job of naming the animals. Genesis also says that God put Adam and Eve in charge, which clearly demonstrates that they are more important than the animals of which they are in charge.

Year 10 Maths: Frequency Polygons homework

13 Sep

Your job is to do some research in order to produce two sets of comparable frequency polygons.

First come up with a hypothesis (not a question). It needs to have two (or more, if you like) groups that you are comparing with some continuous data to measure.

eg. “Year 10 boys are taller than year 10 girls”
or “Year 10 students spend more time watching television each day than year 9s”

What you produce needs to include the following:

  1. The hypothesis you are testing
  2. A method statement: How are you going to gather the data to make sure it is valid and reliable?
  3. Tables of data: Put your results into a frequency table (with suitable intervals) to show what you have found.
  4. A graph of frequency polygons: On one graph draw the frequency polygons of the data you have collected.
  5. Analysis: An explanation of what the graphs show. You could talk about the “modal grouping” and the “skew” of each polygon.
  6. Conclusion: What does your evidence show with respect to the hypothesis? Is your hypothesis confirmed? How do you know? What might you need to do in order to make your results more certain? How might you change the work you have done in order to improve it if you were going to do it again?


Good luck! As always, please leave a comment if you have any questions!

This is due on Thursday 22nd Sept.
