OUR LADY OF MERCY COLLEGE Science Department ASSESSMENT NOTIFICATION 2024 YEAR 9 SCIENCE Assessment Task 2 Learning Year 9 students have engaged in the study of the Chemistry and Electricity. Context Students have been using scientific inquiry by actively using and applying the processes of Working Scientifically to increase their understanding of these areas of study.

What is being You will be assessed on your ability to: assessed?  Apply your understanding of the concepts and the Working Scientifically skills you have learnt in: - Chemistry - Electricity  process, analyse and evaluate data from first-hand investigations to develop evidence-based arguments and conclusions.  apply scientific understanding and critical thinking skills to suggest possible solutions to identified problems.  present science ideas and evidence for a particular purpose and to a specific audience, using appropriate scientific language, conventions, and representations How do I 1. Use your class notes, OneNote, learning activities on Canvas and Teams and Stile to prepare for summarise the concepts learned for these outcomes and success criteria. the task? 2. Review the content and skills relating to the learning outcomes outlined the following topics: Chemistry and Electricity. Content outcomes are outlined above. What do I You need to bring the following items with you: need to bring? - blue or black pen - eraser - sharp pencil - ruler - calculator STUDENT REVISION GUIDE I can:  Identify that all matter is made of atoms which are composed of protons, neutrons, electrons and mass.  Describe the structure of atoms in terms of the nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons.  Identify that natural radioactivity arises from the decay of nuclei in atoms, releasing particles and energy.  Identify the atoms as the smallest unit of an element and that it can be represented by a symbol.  Outline historical developments of the atomic theory to demonstrate how models and theories have been contested and refined over time through a process of review by the scientific community.  Distinguish between the atoms of some common elements by comparing information about the number of protons, neutrons and electrons.  Describe the organisation of elements in the Periodic Table using their atomic number.  Relate the properties of some common elements to their position in the Periodic Table.  Predict, using the Periodic Table, the properties of some common elements.  Identify a range of compounds using their common names and chemical formulae.  Identify a range of chemical reactions including the reactions of acids including metals and carbonates, and neutralisation.  Construct word equations from observations and written descriptions of a range of chemical reactions.  Deduce that new substances are formed during chemical reactions by rearranging atoms rather than creating or destroying them.  Identify ways in which objects acquire electrostatic charge.  Describe the behaviour of charged objects when they are brought close to each other.  Apply the law of conservation of energy to account for the total energy involved in energy transfers and transformations.  Describe how in energy transfers and transformations, a variety of processes can occur so that usable energy is reduced and the system is not 100% efficient.  Describe voltage, current and resistance in terms of energy applied, carried and dissipated.  Describe the relationship between voltage, resistance and current using Ohm’s law.  Compare the characteristics and application of series and parallel electrical circuits.  Calculate the total resistance of a series and parallel circuit.
