Don’t just copy material from the knowledge organiser into your book.This will not increase your retrieval strength, since you are not actually trying to remember anything. It won’t stick!
TOP TIP
Why should you self-quiz?Your mind is split into two parts: the working-memory and the long-term memory. Everybody’s working-memory is limited, and therefore it can very easily become overwhelmed. Your long-term memory, on the other hand, is effectively limitless.
You can support your working memory by storing key facts and processes in long term memory. These facts and processes can then be retrieved to stop your working memory becoming overloaded.
Research shows that students remember 50% more when they test themselves after learning something.
This booklet contains knowledge organisers for all of your subjects. Each knowledge organiser has the key information that needs to be memorised to help you master your subject and be successful in lessons.
How should I self-quiz, and how often?There are many different ways to learn the material in your knowledge organiser.
You could:
a) Cover – Write – Check: Cover up one section of the knowledge organiser, and try to write out as much as you can from memory. Check the knowledge organiser to see if you are right and correct any mistakes.
b) Use your knowledge organisers to create flashcards. These could be double sided with a question on one side and the answer on the other. Alternatively, a keyword on one side and a definition or diagram on the other. These are then used for self-quizzing.
c) Draw a mind map, jotting down everything that you can remember from the knowledge organiser. Check accuracy and then repeat.
d) Make up mnemonics (e.g. BIDMAS) to help you remember key facts. Write these out from memory.

Two-point perspective draw
ing is a type of linear
perspective. Linear perspective is a method using
lines to create the illusion of space on a 2D
surface. There are three types of linear
perspective. One-point perspective uses one vanishing
point placed on the horizon line. Two-point
perspective uses two points placed on the horizon
line. Three-point perspective uses three vanishing points.
Stephen Wiltshire born 24 April 1974 is a British architectural artist
and autistic scholar. He is known for his ability to draw a landscape from
mem
ory after seeing it just once. His work has gained worldwide popularity. W
iltshire can look at a subject once and then draw an accurate and detailed picture of it. He frequently draws
entire cities from m
emory, based on single, brief helicopter rides.
For example, he produced a detailed drawing of four square m
iles of London after a single helicopter ride above that city.

Drama – Commedia dell’arte Knowledge Organiser
Origins of commedia dell’arte
English translation: comedy of the artists (or professionals).Pronunciation: co-MAY-dee-ah del AR-tay.
Formal performances began in Italy in the mid-1500s, soon spreading to France and Spain (where they were very popular) and other parts of Europe.
It eventually died out about two hundred years later in the mid-1700s. Its most popular period was 1550 to 1650.
Commedia dell’arte is most notable for its mix of masked and unmasked characters, plus the fact that women were acting on the Commedia stage well before they were allowed to act in England.
The style of Commedia is characterized by its use of masks, improvisation, physical comedy, and recognizable character types.
Plot and structure
Dialogue While rehearsed, dialogue was improvised and could differ from on performance to the next
Plots Storylines were often risqué and bawdy (a bit rude)
Scripts Scripts only consisted of scene descriptors called scenarios
Acting techniques
Comedic qualities
Singing, dancing, acrobatics and tumbling used to make the audience laugh.
Comic timing The use of rhythm, tempo, and pausing to enhance comedy and humour.
Dialogue The exchange of spoken words between two or more characters in a book, play, or other written work.
Exaggeratedgestures
Making movements (usually with the hands) which are over the top
Fast-pacedaction
The events of the play happen quickly
Improvisation A piece of drama which is created spontaneously or without preparation.
Masks Every mask goes with a specific character based on the way it looks. The Commedia masks must show emotion and intelligence as they are covering the face which is the main place emotion can be seen on someone.
Physical comedy
A comedic performance relying mostly on the use of the body to convey humour.
Projection The strength of speaking or singing whereby the voice is used loudly and clearly.
Slapstick A physical kind of comedy based around mild comic violence — smacks in the head, pokes in the eyes, people falling down, etc.
Characters
Caricatured imitation of a person in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect.
Satirical used to expose and criticize foolishness and corruption of an individual or a society, by using humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule
Stereotypical an action or a characterization that is oversimplified, widely imitated, or handed down by tradition

Status Physical Appearance & costume Gesture Mask
The Innamorati
(Lovers Class)
High, but brought low by the hopelessness of their infatuation
Young and attractive.
They had no particular costume, but dressed in the latest fashion of the period to which they belonged. Males sometimes dressed as young soldiers or cadets. Actresses would show off their wardrobe in the better companies by changing costume several times during the course of the action.
Often while holding a handkerchief or flower, etc. in the leading hand. The arms never make identical shapes. Because of their vanity, they frequently look in a hand mirror, only to become upset by any minor imperfection which is discovered. They are always looking to see if a ribbon or a sequin is out of place.
None. No actual mask, but heavy make-up. Mascara and beauty spots for both sexes.
Masters Top of the pecking order. Has lots of money. Controls finance in the character world of Commedia is therefore his orders are usually obeyed.
Lean and Scrawny, often short in stature.
Dark colors of black, grey and red. Dynamic Pantaloons, red tights and yellow Turkish slippers.
Old in body, but his head, feet and hands are still active. The hands (which he can’t keep to himself) flutter continuously, gesticulating each thought as it comes into his head. The only way he can stop this is to hold them behind his back, underneath his cloak.
Long, hooked nose with bushy eyebrows, sometimes also a moustache.
Servants Bottom of pecking order. Represents the peasants.
Baggy, white, originally made of flour sacks.
Actions are always urgent. He appears nervous, talks a lot, his head moves constantly. The nose defines the rhythm of his body since it is the center of his actions. The hands are very expressive and constantly used to illustrate what he is saying. All bodily functions instantly and loudly make themselves known. He often sleeps by alternate farting and snoring.
Originates in the full-face Carnival mask parodying a facchino, but, with the development of the short plays known as Zannata, with improvised dialogue between Pantalone and various zanni, the bottom had to be hinged and was finally cut away altogether. As with other Commedia characters, the longer Zanni'snose, the more stupid he is.

WEEK 1: Overview
The word ‘dystopia’ is well-known as the antonym (opposite) of utopia.• Utopia comes from the Greek u-topos (‘no place’) and eu-topos (‘good place’).• Dystopia comes from the Greek dys (‘bad’) and topia (‘bad place’)• If ‘utopia’ represents an ideal or dream society, ‘dystopia’ is the word used to refer to an imagined nightmare world which is usually the world of the future.• The noun ‘dystopia’ is defined as ‘an imaginary place or condition in which everything is as bad as possible’.• In a dystopian story, society itself is typically the antagonist as society is actively working against the protagonist’s aims and desires.• The worlds depicted are often controlled by a totalitarian or authoritarian government.• Dystopian fiction often explores issues such as the loss of civil liberties, living under constant surveillance, laws controlling a woman’s reproductive freedom, and denial of the right to an education.• Dystopias are often thought to be ‘cautionary tales’ but are also used to explore the ideas of what is to be human.

AO3: Context – Week 6
Shakespeare’s times
Society was patriarchal – women were considered inferior to men and belonged to their fathers (or brothers if their fathers had died) an then their husbands. Portia would have been expected to obey her father’s commands. Portia refuses to be passive and submissive like women were expected to be at that time. This could be because Shakespeare would have also had to please Queen Elizabeth and Portia was used as a representation of her.
Religion Jews had to live in ghettos and were discriminated against. It was a very anti-Semitic time.In England, during the time this was written, Jews had been banished for the past 300 years so the audience would not know any Jews.Violent, racism and insulting behaviour was deemed funny to the Elizabethan era. Shakespeare would have made Shylock, the Jew, the antagonist of the play to provide humour for the audience. He would have also mocked other countries for the same reason. However, there are some areas where Shylock appears this victim. Maybe Shakespeare also pities the Jews because of how they have been treated by society
Key Quotations – Week 7
‘The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose’ ‘I hate him for he is a Christian’
‘Mislike me not for my complexion’ ‘I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him’
‘All that glisters is not gold’ ‘Hath not a Jew eyes?’
‘In sooth, I know not why I am so sad’ ‘If you prick us do we not bleed?
‘God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man’
‘If I am a dog beware my fangs’
Plot - Week 7
Antonio is sad. Bassanio arrives and asks to borrow money but Antonio’s is all out at sea.
Portia doesn’t like her suitors
Antonio and Bassanio make a bond with Shylock with Antonio’s pound of flesh being at risk if they don’t pay.
Launcelot persuades Bassanio to let him serve him rather than Shylock.
Jessica runs away with Lorenzo and takes a lot of Shylock’s money with her.
Morocco picks the wrong casket (the gold one).Arragon picks the wrong casket (the silver one).
Bassanio travels to Belmont (with some friends and Jessica). He picks the lead casket (the correct one) and marries Portia; Gratiano and Nerissa also marry.
We are told Antonio’s ships have sunk so the court scene occurs. Shylock wants his pound of flesh. A young doctor, Balthasar (Portia in disguise) tells him he can have the flesh but not any blood. Shlock instead is charged with attempting to murder Antonio and has to give half his money to the state and become a Christian.
To thank the doctor Bassanio and Gratiano give their rings to Balthasar and his clerk (Portia and Nerissa.
Everyone returns to Belmont and a fake argument about the missing rings occurs. News that Antonio’s ships are fine also arrives.

glishYear 8 - The Merchant of Venice
Key characters – Week 9
Antonio Antonio loves Bassanio. It might be a paternal type of love. He will do anything for him. It could be argued that he is the protagonist of the play as he is a merchant.
Bassanio Bassanio is a man who spends more than he has. He is similar to the Prodigal Son. He borrows money so that he can win Portia.
Gratiano Gratiano is a joker and very good friends with Bassanio. He marries Nerissa.
Jessica Jessica is a Jew who loves Lorenzo, a Christian. She changes her religion to be with him, something the audience would have been very happy about.
Lancelot Gobbo
At first he is Shylock’s servant and then he works for Bassanio. He provides comedy for the audience by misusing the English language. His father is Old Gobbo
Lorenzo Lorenzo is a Christian who wins Jessica’s heart and steals her away from her father. When Shylock dies, he will get Shylock’s money, not Jessica.
Nerissa Nerissa is Portia’s lady-in-waiting. She has a dry sense of humour and marries Gratiano.
Portia Portia represents Queen Elizabeth with her power. She does not get to choose who she marries. Luckily, she marries Bassanio who she loves.
Shylock Shylock is a Jew who is discriminated against by the Christians. He wants revenge on them. Is he the victim or the villain?
Morocco and Arragon
Morocco and Arragon are princes from other countries who want to win the casket lottery for Portia’s hand in marriage. They are stereotyped and mocked.
Key themes – Week 8
In this play Shakespeare makes us think about the importance of fairness, justice and mercy. Antonio does not like the way Shylock makes his money because he thinks that charging excessive interest on loans is unjust. When Shylock agrees to lend 3000 ducats to Antonio he asks for a pound of flesh as his insurance. We might think that this is unjust as it places a financial value on human life. When Antonio’s ships sink, he is unable to repay his loan, and so by the strict laws of Venice he must stick to his contract. However when Bassanio offers to pay double the original loan, Shylock still insists on his pound of flesh. As an audience we are invited to think about whether it is always right and fair to stick to a contract or, in certain cases, mercy and flexibility are more just.
This play deals with different types of love, often by comparing it to its opposite – hate. We see the love between friends with Portia and Nerissa and in particular with Antonio and Bassanio. Parental love is presented through Portia’s father and Launcelot and Old Gobbo. Then, of course there is the romantic love that we see in the relationships between Bassanio and Portia, Nerissa and Gratiano, and Jessica and Lorenzo. All of these can be contrasted with the hatred between Shylock and Antonio.
Money and financial wealth are key to this play. The title itself refers to the merchant Antonio who trades in the Rialto. Each of the characters is connected in one way or another with money – either through a lack of it (Bassanio), a love of it (Shylock) or an excess of it (Portia). The question of worth and value is also raised. Shylock is upset about the loss of a turquoise ring that was given to him by his beloved Leah. It is the sentiment rather than the monetary loss that he is sad about. Later, when Balthazar/Portia asks Bassanio for his ring as a gift he replies that he would rather find the most expensive ring in Venice than give away his love token.
Symbols and motifs – Week 9
The three caskets: gold, silver and lead.
In the test, suitors are presented with three caskets: one made of gold, one of silver and one of lead. If the suitor chooses the correct casket, he wins Portia's hand. The gold casket is a symbol of greed and of materialistic and shallow people who value surface over substance. Silver, while still precious, is not quite as luxurious as gold. The silver casket symbolizes a more cautious greed. These are the people who make compromises in trying to fulfill their dreams -- wanting to go for the gold but falling short. The lead casket ends up being the right choice. It is plain on the inside, but it holds an inner treasure. It represents Portia herself, who may one day grow old and plain, but who is beautiful and valuable on the inside.

UrbanisationWhat is Urbanisation?
This is an increase in the amount of people living in urban areas such as towns or cities. In 2007, the UN announced that for the first time,
more than 50 % of the world’s population live in urban areas.
Where is Urbanisation happening?
Urbanisation is happening all over the word but in LICs and NEEs rates are
much faster than HICs. This is mostly because of the rapid economic growth they are experiencing.
Types of Cities
Megacity An urban area with over 10 million people living there.
Millionairecity An urban area with over 1 million people living there.
More than two thirds of current megacities are located in either NEEs (Brazil) and LICs
(Nigeria). The amount of megacities
are predicted to increase from 28 to
41 by 2030.
Causes of Urbanisation
Rural - urban migration (1) The movement of people from rural to urban areas.
Push Pull
• Natural disasters• War and Conflict• Mechanisation
• Drought • Lack of employment
• More Jobs • Better education &
healthcare• Increased quality of life.
• Following family members.
Natural Increase (2) When the birth rate exceeds the death rate.
Increase in birth rate (BR) Lower death rate (DR)
• High percentage of population are child-bearing
age which leads to high fertility rate.
• Lack of contraception or education about family
planning.
• Higher life expectancy due to better living conditions and
diet.• Improved medical facilities
helps lower infant mortality rate.
How can we live sustainably?
Sustainable urban living means being able to live in cities in ways that do not pollute the environment and using resources in ways that
ensure future generations also can use then.
Water Conservation Energy Conservation
This is about reducing the amount of water used. • Collecting rainwater for
gardens and flushing toilets. • Installing water meters and
toilets that flush less water. • Educating people on using
less water.
Using less fossil fuels can reduce the rate of climate change.• Promoting renewable energy
sources. • Making homes more energy
efficient.• Encouraging people to use
energy.
Creating Green Space Waste Recycling
Creating green spaces in urban areas can improve places for people who want to live there. • Provide natural cooler areas
for people to relax in. • Encourages people to
exercise. • Reduces the risk of flooding
from surface runoff.
More recycling means fewer resources are used. Less waste reduces the amount that eventually goes to landfill.• Collection of household
waste. • More local recycling facilities.• Greater awareness of the
benefits in recycling.
Traffic Management
Urban areas are busy places with many people travelling by different modes of transport. This has caused urban areas to experience different
traffic congestion that can lead to various problems.
Environmental problems
• Traffic increases air pollution which releases greenhouse
gases that is leading to climate change.
Economic problems Social Problems
• Congestion can make people late for work and business
deliveries take longer. This can cause companies to loose
money.
• There is a greater risk of accidents and congestion is a
cause of frustration. Traffic can also lead to health issues for
pedestrians.
Traffic Congestion Solutions
• Widen roads to allow more traffic to flow easily.
• Build ring roads and bypasses to keep through traffic out of city centres.
• Introduce park and ride schemes to reduce car use.
• Encourage car-sharing schemes in work places.
• Have public transport, cycle lanes & cycle hire schemes.
• Having congestion charges discourages drivers from entering the busy city centres.
City growth in different countries
HICs In HICs cities tend to grow UP! They build skyscrapers and try not to sprawl into green space around the edge
NEEs and LICs
In less developed countries cities grow out as people set up slums on the outside edges.
In Dharavi (a slum outside of Mumbai) there are 1 million
people in each square mile!
This is because people are moving in from the countryside
very quickly.

Histo
ry
Disease Diseases like trench foot were common due to poor conditions.
Food At the beginning of the war British soldiers were fed well, but as the size of the army grew and the war went on longer, the army started to ration food. Bully beef and stale biscuits were common.
Daily Life Soldiers often had to do boring tasks like cleaning equipment if they were not fighting. Sanitation was poor and lice were common.
Trench rats
Rats were very common due to the poor conditions. Sometimes the soldiers killed and cooked the rats.
Weapons Soldiers had their own rifles. They also used: Bayonets,Artillery , Grenades; Machine Guns; Flamethrowers, Tanks, Pistols and Gas.
Gas Mustard and chlorine gas were common and both caused huge damage and often death.
Life in the trenches:
Life in Britain during the war
Causes of the First World War:Alliances In 1914 the six most powerful countries in Europe were
divided into two opposing alliances: The Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy).Triple Entente (Britain, France and Russia).
Kaiser Wilhelm II He was the leader of Germany and a very determined man. He was jealous of Britain’s army and navy.
The Arms Race The British built the HMS Dreadnought, the most powerful ship at the time. Germany wanted to compete with this. Ship-building competition began.
France v. Germany
In 1871 during a war between France and Germany, Germany took the region of Alsace Lorraine from France. It was an important industrial area.
The assassinationof Archduke Franz Ferdinand
He was the heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne. He was killed by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian terrorist on 28th
June 1914.
The First World War 1914-1918
Recruitment:
Impact of WW1 on Europe:
Britain did not have a large army in 1914. The government needed to get more people to join up. They used propaganda to do so, in particular posters. These encouraged people to be patriotic, defend their families and defeat the ‘evil’ Germans. The government also censored what newspapers published and some women handed white feathers to men who did not sign up.
Economic effects
The British government had spent £9 billion on the war. £1 billion was a loan that had to be repaid.
Social effects
Approximately 20 million people were killed and 21 million were wounded. 750,000 of those killed were British.
Political effects
Attempted and successful revolutions swept through Germany and Russia, causing political chaos.
Attack from the sky
In 1914, the Germans launched bombing raids on Britain using Zeppelins. These destroyed hundreds of family homes and many civilians were killed.
Women Women were encouraged to work in the factories preparing Britain for war. 2 million women did this. Conditions were dangerous due to TNT and chemicals.
Children Fewer than 1.5 million were evacuated. Guides and scouts helped with the war effort.
Conscription Introduced in 1916 to force people to join the army.
News News and letters were censored so that morale remained high and no info. was given to the enemy.

1935 The Saar Plebiscite – people voted to be part of Germany again.‘Freedom to Rearm Rally’ showed that the Nazis were rearming.
1936 Hitler remilitarised the Rhineland. This made France feel threatened and encouraged Hitler that Britain and France would not stand up to him.
1938 March - Hitler marched into Austria and united Germany and Austria –called Anschluss.September – Britain, France and Italy made the Munich Agreement with Germany. This gave Hitler the Sudetenland (part of Cezchoslovakia).
1939 March – Hitler invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia.August – The Nazi Soviet-Pact was made (an agreement between Germany and the USSR to both invade Poland and not fight each other).September – Hitler invaded Poland. Britain declared war on Germany.

A). Key Words B). Music TheoryHOOK – A ‘musical hook’ is usually the ‘catchy bit’ of the song that you will remember. It is often short and used and repeated in different places throughout the piece. HOOKS can either be a:
MELODIC HOOK – a HOOK based on the instruments and the singers
RHYTHMIC HOOK – a HOOK based on the patterns in the drums and bass parts or a
VERBAL/LYRICAL HOOK – a HOOK
RIFF – A repeated musical pattern often used in the introduction and instrumental breaks in a song or piece of music. RIFFS can be rhythmic, melodic or lyrical, short and repeated.
OSTINATO – A repeated musical pattern. The same meaning as the word RIFF but used when describing repeated musical patterns in “classical” and some “World” music.
BASS LINE – The lowest pitched part of the music often played on bass instruments such as the bass guitar or double bass. RIFFS are often used in BASS LINES.
MELODY – The main “tune” of a song or piece of music, played higher in pitch that the BASS LINE and it may also contain RIFFS or HOOKS. In “Classical Music”, the melody line is often performed “with” an OSTINATO pattern below.
REPEAT SYMBOL – A musical symbol used in staff notation consisting of two vertical dots followed by double bar linesshowing the performer should go back to either the start of the piece or to the corresponding sign facing the other way and repeat that section of music.
TREBLE CLEF – A musical symbol showing that notes are to be performed at a higher pitch. Also called the G clef since it indicates that the second line up is the note G.
BASS CLEF – A musical symbol showing that notes are to be performed at a lower pitch. The BASS LINE part is oftenwritten using the BASS CLEF. Also called the F clef since it indicates that the fourth line up is the note F.

Every Musical has a:• LIBRETTO – the overall text including the spoken andsung parts• LYRICS – the words to the songThere are different types of song within a Musicalincluding:
• ACTION SONGS – which move the plot forward• CHARACTER SONGS – which enable a character toexpress their feelings and often have LYRICALMELODIES and are designed enable the singer to “showoff” their vocal skills.Within these two types of songs, different song typescan be found including:
• BALLADS – which are usually slow, romantic andreflective• COMEDY SONGS – which are funny, to the lyrics arevery important• PRODUCTION NUMBERS – which involve the fullcompany and are used to show major changes inlocation or plot, and often open and close ACTS.• RHYTHM SONGS – are driven by energetic rhythmicpatterns
The singers in Musicals are normally accompanied by alive BAND or ORCHESTRA (which are often ‘hiddenfrom view’ of the audience in the orchestra pit) whichare made up of a range of traditional orchestralinstruments combined with modern electronicinstruments (e.g. electric guitars, synthesisers andkeyboards and drum kits) to give a wide variety ofsounds and effects to accompany the on-stage action.Sometimes, a particular song from a Musical becomes more famous than others and is often performed “out of context” as a stand-alone number.
KS3 Musicals Knowledge Organiser
What makes up a musical?Musical theatre combines music, songs, spoken dialogue and dance; also called ‘MUSICALS’, they are usually performed in theatres. Musicals set out to entertain through a combination of:
• Catchy music in a popular style • SOLO SONGS, DUETS, CHORUSES and ENSEMBLES. • ORCHESTRA or BAND ACCOMPANIMENT • Spoken dialogue • Dance sequences, stage spectacles and magnificent costumes
These are held together by the PLOT or STORYLINEwhich is divided into ACTS and SCENES. A summary or outline of the plot of a Musical is called a SYNOPSIS. Musicals are usually performed in theatres, most famously on Broadway and in the West End of London. “Broadway” is also used as a general term to refer to American Musicals.
What is musical theatre?Various different types of male and female voice are used in both Musicals (and Opera) and are given to different characters.
SOPRANO – the highest female voice type and normally plays the most sympathetic roles (sometimes the heroine who is being cheated on!) MEZZO SOPRANO – a lower female voice type (often given the spiciest and juiciest roles – often witches!) ALTO – the lowest female voice type but can also be sang by men (often maids, mothers or grandmothers)
TENOR – the highest male voice type (often given to vulnerable men who love too much!) BARITONE – a medium-range male voice type (often given to the hero of the plot) BASS – the lowest male voice type (often given to characters that portray fathers or priests)
Types of Voices
Although most musicals use dialogue, there are some Musicals which are THROUGH-COMPOSED which use little or no dialogue and everything is sung. STROPHIC FORM is when the same melody is repeated but with different words e.g. hymns and carols. The opposite of strophic form is THROUGH-COMPOSED where each section of words has a new music or melody and nothing is repeated (no repeated choruses or refrains). Many songs from Musicals use VERSE & CHORUS form. The CHORUS:
• Sets the refrain of the lyrics and often contains the title words • Usually returns several times, always with the same words • Is normally the “catchiest” part of the song and has a MEMORABLE MELODY The VERSE usually has different words, sung to the same music, with each repetition.
The structure of songs in musicals.
ComponentsOverture
Musicals often begin with an OVERTURE – an INSTRUMENTAL piece played by the BAND or ORCHESTRAwhich “sets the scene” and often contains parts from songs which will occur later in the musical (e.g. a MEDLEY)
Characters
Characters are then introduced, and thestoryline develops. Musicals contain somespoken dialogue and sometimes dancesequences. INCIDENTAL MUSIC (musicplayed by the band/orchestra alone) isoften used for scene or set changes.
Songs
Musicals contain a number of differentsongs – solo songs (CHARACTER SONGS),DUETS, TRIOS, COMPANY/CHORUS orPRODUCTION NUMBERS, ACTION SONGS,BALLADS and COMEDY SONGS.

Poles of a Magnet
Gg
• The ends of magnets are called poles.• They are assigned a polarity – North and South• This is where the force from the magnet is at its
strongest• When two magnets are placed beside each other,
they will either repel or attract• If the poles that are beside each other are
different (N-S), they will attract.• If they are the same (N-N or S-S) the magnets will
repel
Magnetic Fields
• There are only three naturally magnetic elements: iron, cobalt and nickel. Steel is magnetic too, but it is made up of iron and carbon.
• The region around a magnet is called the magnetic field
A field is a region of space where an object will
• A magnetic material is a material that is attracted to magnets but is not itself magnetic.
• It will only ever feel an attractive force
• A magnetic compass contains a small bar magnet. The compass needle points in the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field. It will always point to the North Pole of the Earth
• You can use a compass to plot the magnetic field pattern of a magnet.
• The core of the Earth must be magnetic due to the effect it has on the magnet in a compass
• A compass will always point towards the south pole of a magnet
• This means that the Earth’s magnetic field is upside down!
Electromagnets
• An electromagnet is a non-permanent magnet turned on and off by controlling the current through it
• When a current is passed through a conductive material, like a wire, it generates a magnetic field around it
• Using your right thumb, you can work out the direction of thecurrent; your fingers indicate the direction of the magnetic field.
• In order to increase the effect of a magnetic field on an object you can do 3 things:
1. Decrease the distance of the object from the magnet2. Increase the current passing through the wire3. Coil the wire
• A solenoid is a coil of insulated wire with a current running through it
• A solenoid has the same shape magnetic field as a bar magnet
• The core of a solenoid consists of soft iron metal, which the solenoid is wrapped around

Non-metals are found towards the right and top of the periodic table
Non-metals do not form positive ions
Chemistry THE PERIODIC TABLE• There are about 100 different elements , which are arranged in order of atomic
number in the periodic table• The table is called a periodic table because similar properties occur at regular
intervals• Elements with similar properties can be found in the same column, known as a
group; elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, which gives them similar chemical properties
• Elements in the same rows (periods) have the same number of electron shells, for example, Lithium and carbon are both in period 2 and have two electron shells
The majority of elements are metals
Metals are found to the left and towards the bottom of the periodic
table
Metals react to form positive ions
The elements in Group 0 of the
periodic table are called the noble
gases. They are unreactive
and do not easily form molecules
because their atoms have stable
arrangements of electrons. The noble
gases have eight electrons in their
outer shell, except for helium, which
only has two electrons.
The boiling points of the noble gases increase with
increasing relative atomic mass (going down the group).
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are known as the
alkali metals. They are highly reactive because of
the single electron in their outer shell.
In Group 1, the reactivity of the elements increases going down the
group.The boiling and melting points of
group 1 metals decrease going down the group
The elements in Group 7 of the periodic table are known as the halogens and have similar
reactions because they all have seven electrons in their outer shell.
The halogens are non-metals and consist of molecules made of pairs of atoms.
In Group 7, the further down the group an element is the higher its relative molecular
mass, melting point, and boiling point.In Group 7, the reactivity of the elements
decreases going down the group.A more reactive halogen can displace a less
reactive halogen from an aqueous solution of its salt.

Pressure
Pressure = Force (in N)Area (m2 or cm2)
• Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa) or N/m2.• Force is measured in Newtons (N)• Area is measured in meters squared or centimetres squared (m2 or cm2)
Calculating Pressure
• While an elephant is much heavier than a person, the pressure exerted by their foot is much smaller than that of the point of a high heeled shoe• Because the surface area of the foot is very large (0.18m2), the force is distributed over a larger area• Whereas the shoe has a very small surface area (0.000036m2), meaning that the force is focused into a much smaller point
• An average male elephant has about 6000kg of mass and weighs about 60,000N• An average adult female weighs about 70kg or 700N.
Pressure exerted by elephant:
Pressure = Force = 60,000 = 333,333 N/m2
Area 0.18
Pressure exerted by woman:
Pressure = Force = 700 = 19,444,444 N/m2
Area 0.000036
Pressure in Liquids • When an object is in water, water molecules are pushing on themselves and on the object. This creates liquid pressure. • Liquid pressure acts in all directions.
Pressure and depth • The pressure at a particular depth in a liquid depends on the weight of water above it . • The greater the depth the greater the pressure, as the mass (and therefore the force exerted) is greater.
• Liquids are incompressible – this means you are unable to squeeze them together because there is little space between the particles. • Liquids pass on any pressure applied to them
Example: Dam Walls The bottom of dam walls are thicker than the top. This is because the pressure at the bottom of the dam is more. Hence it is more liable to break as more pressure is exerted on the walls by the water.
•The particles in a gas move quickly in all directions, but they don't get far before they bump into each other or the walls of their container. •When gas particles hit the walls of their container they exert pressure. The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.
Pressure in Gases
•Gas pressure is affected by the number of particles in an area and temperature.
•Atmospheric pressure - The air particles around us put pressure on us. This is called atmospheric pressure
•Density - Density is the amount of mass in a specified space. It is a way to measure how compact an object is. It is the number of molecules in an area or the mass per unit volume of matter. The denser an object is, the less likely it is to float.
•Depth - the extent downward that an object extends
• Fluid – a substance with no fixed shape, a gas or liquid.
•Force - A push or a pull
•Gas pressure - A pressure produced by collisions of particles in a gas
•Incompressible - unable to squeeze a liquid as there is not much space between particles
•Liquid pressure - A pressure produced by collisions of particles in a liquid
•Pressure - Pressure is a measure of how much force is applied over a certain area.
•Resultant force - Single force which can replace all the other forces acting on a object and have the same effect.
•Surface area - The total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object
•Up thrust – The upward force a liquid or gas exerts on a object floating in it

Photosynthesis Knowledge OrganiserPhotosynthesis
The process plants use to make their own food, glucose. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react together to make glucose and oxygen. This is an endothermic reaction.
Carbon dioxide + water (+sunlight) glucose + oxygen
Photosynthesis mainly takes place in the chloroplasts in leaf cells. Chloroplasts contain the green pigment called chlorophyll.
Water diffuses into the root hair cells. It is then transported around the plant through the xylem
Glucose is transported to all parts of the plant. Water is transported from the roots to the stem and the leaves
Structure of a leaf
Leaves are especially adapted for photosynthesis. Most leaves:
- Are green- they contain chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight
- Are thin- this allows gases to diffuse in and out of the leaf easily
- Large surface area- to absorb as much light as possible
- Have veins- these contain the xylem tubes, which transport water, and phloem tubes which transport glucose
For healthy growth , plants need the following minerals:
- Nitrates (contain nitrogen)- for healthy growth
- Phosphates (contain phosphorous)- for healthy roots
- Potassium- for healthy leaves and flowers
- Magnesium- for making chlorophyll
Carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaf and carbon dioxide and water vapour diffuse out of the leaf through tiny holes called stomata.
