Nurture in us a sense of true respect, support and friendship.
God the Son, our brother, Lord and Teacher, fill all of us who learn, teach and work with wisdom, understanding and love.
God the Spirit, Paraclete and Helper, guide us to seek the good in everyone and to celebrate the commitment and co-operation of all.

Welcome to your Revision Booklet Year Elevens!!
This booklet is going to be an important part of your daily routine over the next few weeks. Use it to the best of your ability and follow all the advice included by your teachers...they know how to help you achieve your maximum potential!!
Some advice to help you over the next few weeks...

· Take clear notes so you can review them later.
· Review your notes later. Rewrite them if they're messy or if it helps you to remember them.
· Study with friends, you can help each other.
· Don't be afraid to ask for extra help...Teachers will be happy to help!!
· Don't study in a setting with a lot of distractions eg in front of the TV
· Don't cram the night before. Plan ahead, set up a study schedule.
· Everybody has different studying techniques, figure out what works for you.
· Ask a friend, parent/guardian, or sibling to test you on the subject.
· Compare notes with the other members of your class.
Monday 5 th -Friday 9 th June
1. Make sure you have a copy of your exam timetable.
2. Know what day and time you have each exam.
3. Revise each evening for the exams you have the
next day
2.
The days before your exams….
Spend about 45 minutes going over your revision notes for each subject being tested next week.
If there is one exam day when you think the tests will be more difficult, then plan ahead for this by doing a little of one of those subjects earlier this week.
Go to bed early and make sure you have breakfast the next morning. You will not be able to concentrate if you have not eaten.
There may be time to study before some of the exams. Make sure you have notebooks and revision notes from those subjects with you.
This way you can refresh what you have learnt immediately before the test begins.
Take some time each evening to make sure you have enough pens, pencils, etc with you. It is disruptive to others when a pupil has to borrow during an exam.
Do out a revision plan for the week beginning Monday 28 th May to study for the subjects you have next week. In your plan include some relaxation time, take a few hours off to watch T.V, meet your friends etc.

hydrochloric acid in the stomach; and

3.12 examine the use of baking powder (a mixture of sodium hydrogencarbonate and tartaric acid) in cake mixtures to generate carbon dioxide gas so that the mixture rises and has a lighter texture, including: ? the effect of heat on sodium hydrogencarbonate/baking soda (thermal decomposition) to produce sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water; ? the addition of acid to sodium hydrogencarbonate (compare with removing indigestion); and ? writing word equations and symbol equations to show the effect of heat on sodium hydrogencarbonate;
3.13 discuss sherbet (a mixture of sodium hydrogencarbonate, sugar and citric acid) and note the sensation caused by the generation of carbon dioxide as a fizzing feeling when moistened in the mouth; and

over time;

3.25 explain that earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move past each other;
3.26 interpret the intensity of earthquakes by using measurements on the Richter scale;
3.27 recognise that no theory has been advanced that accurately predicts when a volcano will erupt or when an earthquake will happen; and
3.28 analyse the process of volcanic eruption.
Elements and Compounds
Structure of the Atom- 3.29 examine atoms as particles that have a nucleus surrounded by moving electrons and know the relative charge and relative mass of a proton, electron and neutron;
3.30 examine the structure of atoms in terms of protons, neutrons and electrons (elements 1–20) and use of the terms
7.
atomic number and mass number;
The Periodic Table and Its Development-3.31 evaluate the work of Newlands and Mendeleev in the development of the Periodic Table and the role of careful observation in formulating their periodic theory;
3.32 examine how the reasons for rejection of Newlands’ theory were overcome by Mendeleev, whose theory became gradually accepted, and examine how the Greek concept of four elements changed over time with increasing knowledge;
3.33 discuss the relationship between the electronic structure of the first twenty elements and their position in the periodic table;
3.34 explore how the periodic table groups together elements with similar properties, for example alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens and gases known as the noble gases;
3.35 assess how the metallic character of elements decreases on moving across the periodic table from left to right;
3.36 recall that helium, neon and argon are chemically inert gases known as the noble gases; and
Formulae-3.37 understand and write formulae of simple and more complex compounds using the Periodic Table and Data Leaflet, for example NaCl, MgO, Na2SO4 and CH4.
