The task:

Present a demonstration to fellow students outlining why ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution.

Preparation time:

1 lesson to research material and plan roles to be undertaken by group….. cameras…. action….. roll…. take 1.

This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your learning…….it also shows me where I need to do better. Sodium ions don’t get discharged from aqueous solution…..apologies for any confusion I may have caused here!

Art is often chemistry that looks good.

The digestive system breaks down food………..and produces lots of waste products

These young scientists know so much.

Glen Eden Intermediate students visited Green Bay to investigate the Physics behind flight.

Watch the video of a Boeing 767 take off.

How did the wing shape change during take off?
Why do you think this was?

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on your visit. It was great fun having so many keen young scientists in the lab and we look forward to another visit.

What would you like to do next time?

Mexican swine flu has a complex ancestry containing parts from two previous swine flu viruses and gene segments that originated in birds or humans. The strain of the virus derives its name from the proteins found on the surface of the envelope in this case haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N. These proteins determine the type of host cell the virus will latch on to.

For NCEA level 1 science you need to be familiar with the process of virus replication.
