'Life' tutorial for S104

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Dave Edwards, Tuesday 11 June 2013 at 17:42

For some reason I have a face-to-face tutorial to run on Book 5 of S104: Life. This does not really make a lot of sense to me, but that is the way it is! Perhaps next year I can manage to move the tutorial date to cover a topic that interests me more?

For this topic I usually run a pipe-cleaner model of mitosis - but having just moved house I cannot find the kit.

On a recent presentation I worked up an activity using a molecule kit to build amino acids.  However I have a feeling that there was a problem with the notes I created. So I need to work through the activity to check the notes.

This check was useful revision for me, and I made a minor update to the Tutor Notes for the activity..

I realised it would be useful to have a copy of the Book 4 summary table on functional groups, so I created a Word document with the table on a single page.  This could be a handout or be projected in the room.

I also have a kit of labels for an established S104 activity on molecules, organelles and cells, which I will use.

If there is time I could also run a standard activity on food chains.

That will be plenty of interesting material for 90 minutes.
