I am a grade B student because…

‘…I will come to every lesson and try hard in every lesson. I will come on time and complete every homework.’

‘…I am going to try hard and learn this year.’

‘…I will go home and research the unit I am working on so I can get good subject knowledge.’

‘…I will focus on the theory as I realise that is where important marks are to be gained.’

Exam-Style Questions:

What is it called when a product is reused or its materials are made into another product?

Examination Tips:

• Make sure you read the question carefully!

• How many marks is the question worth? If a question is worth 3 marks, it means you will have to make three different points

• In terms of timing, this paper is worth 60 marks and you have 60 minutes to complete it in… Think about it!!!

• Have confidence!!! You are all clever boys, if you think something might be write, put it down on paper. You don’t lose marks for getting a question wrong

Question Mark Scheme:

Sustainable:

• It can be replenished/re-grown, it is renewable/easily replaced, it will not run out [1]

• The wood can be grown again [1]

• Plastic is from oil which is not renewable/finite resource/run out [1]

Recyclable:

• Can be reused• Made into something else• Plastic pot could be used as a bin• Plastic re-melted/reformed• Wood difficult to recycle as it deteriorates if outside• Wood used to make something else e.g. a bench/fence

[Any 3 of the above for 1 mark each]

Question Mark Scheme:

Sustainable:

• Rots easily in the environment [1]

• Wood rots naturally [1]

• Plastic will not rot/take 1000’s of years to decompose[1]

This question is worth 9 marks. That is over 15% of the total marks for this paper!!!

Product Life Cycles:

‘The stages a new product goes through from conception to eventual decomposition’

We will now discuss…

• Product life cycle

• The afterlife [Product style!!]

Plant Life Cycle

Seed germinates

Plant grows

Plant flowers

Fruit grows

Seeds released

Plant dies

Why Did I Show You That?

• Can you think of any similarities between the life of plants and the life of products?

• Is there anything we can learn from nature regarding the way we dispose of our products after they have been used?
