UNIT SUMMARY
This unit focuses on the human body and how we interact with each other and our environment. The brain and the nervous system are explored, together with the five senses and the locomotor system. The unit will interest and engage students as they learn how the body responds to information, how this information is processed and how responses are given. Students will revise concepts which they have previously encountered, but will now focus on these systems in much greater detail. There is a strong element of experimentation in the unit, and students will be encouraged to draw their own conclusions. They will learn about emotional growth, how the brain develops in adolescence and the changes this brings.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
Students will learn about the body, how it interacts with the world, and will consider ways in which we keep fit and healthy, such as the importance of exercise and diet. They will also consider emotions and mental health. Students will take part in collaborative activities: sharing knowledge and ideas with their classmates. They will draw their own conclusions from experiments, and expand their horizons. Vocabulary acquisition will play a key part in learning and they will have plenty of opportunities to review and revise new language.
Fragile world
Students will learn about mental development and how this affects their emotions. They will be encouraged to think about their mental health, and how their emotional life will undergo a transformation in adolescence. By reading and discussing these issues with their peers they will understand that such changes are normal and affect everyone in this age group.

UNIT SUMMARY
This unit focuses on matter and its properties. Students will revise ideas from previous years, but study the subject in greater depth, and in more detail. They will consider pure and mixed substances, and learn how different mixtures are composed and whether these are homogenous or heterogeneous.
They will learn five different methods of separation, some of which will be put into practice in the experiment section of the unit. Finally, students will learn about the effects of chemical changes on substances.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
Students will learn about the building blocks of the world around them, the basics of chemistry, and the importance which chemical processes such as fermentation or combustion have in the modern world. They will have a chance to carry out experiments in the classroom and will learn about safety in the laboratory.
Fragile world
Students will learn about safety in the lab, an important lesson for all students who take part in experiments. They will be made aware of the dangers of material which is used in laboratories and the damage it can cause to surroundings or to people. They will also learn how to protect themselves. Although some of the advice may seem obvious to the students, the importance of following safety instructions and guidelines cannot be ignored. Students will be safer and better informed, and therefore able to gain maximum benefits from using the lab.
