Bacteria!

Remember the experiment on bacteria and mould we did last year?

Some scientists did the same.

Artistically...

Science Notes

Dear babes and bros,

I'll be making Science notes for your P4 SA1, similar to the ones I made for 3 Grace's SA2.

I am assuming those of you formerly from 3 Grace have not misplaced the notes. They can be used for the P3 topics tested in your P4 SA1. I will be printing the notes for our friends who were formerly from 3 Faith.

If you were from 3 Grace, have misplaced the notes, and would like a new set, please inform me by the end of school on Thursday - not before I blast you with a lecture on responsibility of course...

For the last time (considering all this is spelt out clearly in your SA1 information letter distributed earlier), the topics covered for P4 Science SA1 will include P3 topics, and the P4 topics covered thus far - ie. Matter, Plants and their Parts, Heat and Temperature, and Effects of Heat.

The notes I will be preparing for you this year will be on the P4 topics covered thus far. Please study them together with the P3 SA2 notes. As it was last year, I guarantee at least a pass if you study them. :)

Thanks for your reminder Mrudula!

Don't know if you can read it... Best I can do on my phone at the moment.

Science Practical Test

Dear all,

There'll be a Science Practical Test next Thursday on the 11th of April.

Topics covered will include all P3 topics and P4 topic covered thus far.

Suggest you look through your activity books and revise all the experiments we've done so far. :-)

There are worse things than spiders...

On a less scary note -


What are the possible uses of this material? Can you think of any?

Real Life Zombies

Those of you from 3 Grace might remember me sharing this creepy piece of trivia with you...


This image may look like something dreamed up for a surreal horror movie, but it's a real horror for the tarantula in question. This unfortunate arachnid is infected with Cordyceps, a parasitic fungus that replaces its host's tissue with its own.

Cordyceps fungi invades its hosts (mainly arthropods), and its mycelium eventually replaces the host's tissue. Once the arthropod is dead, cylindrical or branching growths emerge from the creature's dead body. Some species also have mind-control capabilities, convincing the host to travel to a place where the fungus will find optimal growth conditions before the host dies.


The video I showed you guys last year...
