Extinction (Hybridisation of Wildcats) Biology Key Stage 3 GENETICS AND EVOLUTION Objectives Outline the process of extinction Give examples of endangered and extinct species Explain different causes of extinction Analyse the traits of different cats to estimate their genetic composition Consider the limitations of this phenotypic data Organisms are adapted to survive and compete in their environment. If the environment changes they can struggle to survive and reproduce If this happens to a whole species it can go extinct Causes of Extinction: catastrophic events, habitat change, over exploitation, alien invasion, disease, hybridisation Use a series of questions to evaluate photos of cats and identify wildcats. Complete the table for each of the four cats using the trait descriptors. Total the scores and decide which cats are wildcats, hybrids or domestic cats. Links to BBC Winterwatch 2016.

Five experiments for students to do exploring the properties electrical cables. Either as a standalone lesson or over a longer period interweaved with electrical resistance theory. 1. Tensile strength 2. Resistance and type of metal 3. Resistance and cross-sectional area 4. Resistance and temperature 5. Resistance and length These experiments have been fully tested and work well with simple equipment you will have in the prep room. I’ve done all the trial and error work for you! All variables covered allowing students to discover their relationship with resistance or tensile strength. They will familiarise themselves with the equipment and circuits necessary to measure the resistance of a wire.

Explain that horizontal and vertical velocities are vectors Explain that the resultant velocity of a projectile is the vector sum of the horizontal and vertical velocity Explain that for a horizontal projectile there is no acceleration horizontally Use equations of motion for an object projected horizontally above the Earth’s surface where the gravitational field is still uniform

Make a balance from a single sheet of A4 paper that will weight things up to about 3g (more with simple modifications) accurate to 0.01g. YES REALLY! A class can each make one of these in a few minutes and actually use it in experiments, then they can put them in the back of their books for next lesson. This is an indispensable piece of scientific equipment that cost less than a cent!
