Year 8 Project Homework 3 This term you will have an assessment on all of the science work you have done in year 8 since September That is a lot of science to learn! This homework is to help you with your revision. On the next 6 slides are details of what you have studied for each topic and websites to help you. Your homework is to make a revision aid for one of the topics. Your teacher will give suggestions and tips on how you complete this task. The final slide has the marking criteria for the homework

Yr8 assessment revision list Life Support Respiration Lungs and breathing Circulation Digestive system Food groups and their digestion Proteins and what they are used for Don’t forget to use your book and KS3 BBC Bitesize (the light waves section in waves in the Physics unit - and the respiration section in respiration and gas exchange in the Biology unit to help you. Come and see me if you are stuck with anything! Light The path of light Reflection Refraction Dispersion Why we see colour The eye Optical fibres and how they work
