Memorandum

Groupwork:

Observation: The glowing wooden splinter catches fire because oxygen has been released.

Conclusion: Mercury oxide is a compound that decomposed as a result of heating. It broke up into oxygen (a gas) and mercury (a metal).

Mercury Oxide = mercury + oxygen

Leaner section

Content

Activity: to investigate the breaking up of compounds into simpler substances [lo 1.2, lo 1.3]

Group work:

Do the following experiment in your groups to determine whether mercuric oxide is a compound consisting of elements. Follow the different steps exactly:

  • Pour a small amount of mercuric oxide, which is red in colour, into a test tube.
  • Heat it over a Bunsen burner or the flame of a candle in a well-ventilated room.
  • Wait for the mercuric oxide to turn black and for small droplets of mercury to collect on the cooler side of the test tube.
  • Insert a glowing splinter of wood into the top of the test tube. Observe the reaction that occurs.

Assessment

MARK LEVEL COOPERATIVELEARNING SKILLS VALUES AND ATTITUDES CONTENT
1-34% 1 Each learner learns individually. Participation in the group is destructive, e.g. domineering. No respect for others. Destructive interpersonal relationships (actively negative). Not able to come to meaningful observations and deductions.
35-39 % 2 Does not contribute to the group and forms no meaningful part of it. Not respectful towards others, but this does not affect interpersonal relationships (negatively passive). Observations and deductions fairly sound.
40-69% 3 Acknowledged as a member of the group. Sensitive to the needs of others. Shows consideration for others and understanding of different points of view, but this has no effect on interpersonal relationships (positively passive). Observations and deductions sound.
70-100% 4 Creates opportunities for contributions by other members of the group. Always contributes positively to the group task. Shows consideration for others and understanding of different points of view. Influences interpersonal relationships in a positive way (positively active). Observations and deductions excellent.

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to act confidently on curiosity about natural phenomena, and to investigate relationships and solve problems in scientific, technological and environmental contexts.

Assessment Standard 1.2: We know this when the learner conducts investigations and collects data: organises and uses apparatus/equipment or sources to gain and record information;

Assessment Standard 1.3: We know this when the learner evaluates data and communicates findings: generalises in terms of relevant aspects and describes how the data support the generalisation.

How bacteria create energy to survive?
Muhamad Reply
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
