Project Aim
Over this half term your teacher will share with all of the materials
covered on the previous page. You should tick each box when you covered
the work in your lessons. This work will help you to have the knowledge
needed to complete your assignment. The assignment will be due to be
handed in during the last week of each half term. If you do not have
access to the internet, remember the Academy has homework clubs that
run during the week and the library is available after school for all
students.
Full details of the assignment will be posted in the
Science area of the Academy website.
Your Assignment
The Academy is committed to raising standards of literacy across all
areas of the curriculum, so you should remember to use the VCOP
strategies you have met in your lessons.
At any time you can ask your teacher for advice and guidance on how to
complete your project assignments.
You have this half term to complete the following:
• Design a habitat for an animal and design the animal that lives
there.
This should include what the habitat looks like, what it contains (i.e.
plants, water, hills, sand, weather). Your animal should be adapted
to live in this habitat. It should be labelled with the features that
enable it to live in your habitat and include the reasons why they
are adapted in this way.
• Research the use of microbes (microorganisms) in real
life/industry.
Microbes are used in a variety of real life/industrial situations to
produce everyday items and products.
Your task is to research and produce a booklet/powerpoint that
describes and explains a range of these uses.
• Write a comic strip describing a predator hunting a prey.
This should include describing the adaptations of the predator for
hunting and the prey for avoiding capture.
These might include: claws, skin colour, speed of the animal
It is expected this assignment will take you between
6-10 hours over the course of this project.
