Homework matters

At The Carlton Academy we believe that completion of meaningful homework is vital to the success of our students. It isn’t the just the

work completed in lessons that will determine the success of our students. They need to spend time independently honing the

knowledge and skills required for success. The benefits of learning to study independently stretch beyond just academic success. Our

students will develop skills of self-motivation, organisation and time management that will benefit that in many walks of life in the

future.

The research into homework and how students learn effectively shows that short frequent knowledge-learning tasks, with an emphasis

on self-quizzing will yield the greatest success for our students. In this booklet you will find descriptions of techniques and the resources

needed to successfully build a solid base of background knowledge. Completing this vital preparatory work at home allows more time in

lesson to be spend applying knowledge and in creative learning activities.

How to use this booklet

• This booklet contains pages for each subject. You should use these pages to support you in completing your homework.

• Each piece of homework should only take 30 minutes. You should set aside some of this time to check, mark and correct your

work.

• The tables on the following pages show you which subjects you must do homework for each week. You are must complete

homework for every subject, regardless of whether it is on Show My Homework.

• All work is to be done in your blue homework book.

• The learning from the homework tasks will be checked through quizzing in lessons.

• On the following pages there is some guidance on how to complete some the activities that your teachers might set for you.

The different lines, patterns and textures used in a piece of Art. Many Art materials can be used to produce this.

This is the Art Movement we will be studying this term in Art. Artist Questions (Use Art terms and always write in full sentences)-What is successful about the work?How is colour used?Use of the formal elements?

Top Tips for Grid Drawing:• Ensure the grid has

light lines• Label the boxes• Ensure lines are

straight and even-use a ruler.

• Close Observation. Keep looking. Comparing and measuring where lines are placed. Use mathematical skill

These greys are more interesting than using black and white.Analgous (Harmonious) colours are any three colours which are side by side on the colour wheel such as yellow, amber and orange. Warm and cool colours:Warn colours such as red, yellow

and orange evoke warmth and happiness. They advance space towards the eye. Coll colours such as blue, green and purple evoke a cool feeling. They recede away from the eye.Black and white are not included on the artists colour wheel as they are thought of as ‘tones’ or ‘tints’ and shades.

Complementary Colours are colours which are directly opposite each other on the colour wheel such as Red and Green, Blue and Orange. These ‘opposite’ colours create the biggest contrast. If you mix two complementary colours together and add white, it makes grey.

PAINTING TOP TIPS- Add water to the paint to create a smooth and even consistency.- Roll your brush on the side of the palette to create a fine edge- When you want a neat edge fan out the brush on the paper to create a smooth line and its even.- Only use a pea size amount of paint- less is more

Introduction to images

Graphics on a screen are made up of tiny blocks called pixels. The more pixels on the screen, the higher the resolution and the better the quality of the picture will be. The higher the image resolution, the more memory is needed to store the graphic. Image files can be either bitmaps or vectors.

Bitmap imagesBitmap images are widely used on digital cameras, smartphones and online. Common bitmap image file types include JPEG, GIF and PNG. Bitmaps are also known as pixelmaps or raster graphics.Bitmap images are organised as a grid of coloured squares called pixels (short for 'picture elements'). When zooming in or enlarging a bitmap image, the pixels are stretched and made into larger blocks. This is why bitmap images appear as poor quality when enlarged too much.

Binary representation in imagesEach colour of an image is stored as a binary number. In the black-and-white image below, each pixel is either black or white. You need a binary value for each different colour. As each pixel is either black or white, this image can be encoded with a value of 0 for white and 1 for black.

Vector imagesA vector image uses scalable shapes such as straight lines and curves, using coordinates and geometry to precisely define the parts of the image. It is more efficient than bitmaps at storing large areas of the same colour because it does not need to store every pixel as a bitmap does.Vector graphics can be scaled without losing resolution. They can be enlarged or reduced in size - but the file size will stay almost exactly the same.

Woods

Manufactured Boards

• Self finishing. No need to sand/paint/varnish.

• Can be made into complex shapes due to wide range of moulding/forming processes.

• Readily available• Large environmental impact• Not biodegradable

Thermoplastic – Plastic that can be heated and re-moulded.Easy to recycle.

Thermosetting Plastic – Plastic that can be heated to mould, but not reheated.Can’t be recycled.

Hardwood – usually obtained from deciduoustrees, which lose their leaves in autumn.

• usually grow in warmer more humid climates, mainly in South America and Asia

• grow slowly (80+ years)

• are more difficult to sustain than softwoods

• are more expensive than softwoods

• are strong and hardwearing.

Forest Stewardship Council works to improve forest management worldwide.

The FSC trademarks provide a guarantee to consumers that the products they buy come from responsible sources.

Softwood – usually obtained from coniferous trees, which keep their leaves in winter.

• usually grow in colder climates and are mainly grown in Scandinavia and Northern Europe

• grow thin, needle-like leaves

• grow relatively quickly (30 years)

• are easier to sustain than hardwood trees

• are easy to cut and shape

• are usually cheaper than hardwoods.

Made from the waste sections of felled trees – the parts which are of little use as planks. The wood is reduced to pulp, particles or thin strips and bonded together using special adhesives or resins.

• come in sheet form (usually 1.2 x 2.4m)• are extremely stable and of uniform

thickness• are less expensive than laminating

planks of timber• can be covered with veneers• are available in a variety of thicknesses

(3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 22mm etc).

Non-Renewable Resources

Raw materials that come from non-renewable (finite) resources that are in limited supply. Examples of these include oil, ores and minerals. They are natural materials but they will eventually run out.

Renewable Resources

Renewable means we can create more as long as they are regrown or replaced. Examples include timber (wood/card/paper) or cotton etc. Timber that carries the FSC logo is renewable as it is replanted.

Sustainability

The products we manufacture are consuming the Earths resources at an alarming rate.

Sustainability refers to products that have been designed and made to have a lesser impact on the environment. Responsible designers and companies modify design ideas to ensure that sustainability issues are taken into account when choosing materials, processes and finishes.

Materials fall into two categories:

ElectronicsCircuits consist of:-

Inputs – Switches and types of sensors that can detect.

Process- usually a micro processer or micro chip this component can think and make decisions.

Output- Something that does something usually a buzzer, light or motor.

Lever

A lever changes an input movement and force into an output movement and force. The load is the object to be moved.The effort is the force applied to move the load.

A lever moves around a fixed point called a pivot or fulcrum.

Designers /design movements– Research some of these designers and movements

Design Movements:-• Art Nouveau• Art Deco• Memphis• Bauhaus

Designers:-• James Dyson• William Morris• Alec Issigonis• Ettore Sottsass• Marcel Breuer Further information can be found on www.technologystudent.com

Cams and Followers

A cam mechanism has three parts – a cam, a slideand a follower.

When the cam rotates, the follower moves up and down in a reciprocating motion.

Is when a company use research and development to find new technologies. This is then applied to a new innovative product. An example is Bluetooth, Companies now find ways to include this in other products. E.g. Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth cars etc.

This is when market demand drives the need for new products eg. Teenagers kept dropping mobiles and smashing the screens so pop sockets were invented.

Fibres

Making fabrics

Natural fibres

Tiny ‘hairs’ that are spun into yarns – the threads that are woven or knitted into fabrics.

• Fibres come in lengths – short = staple fibres and long = filaments.

• Yarns made from filaments are smooth• Yarns made from staple fibres tend to be

‘hairier’.• Yarns are available in different thicknesses:

- 1-ply = single yarn- 2-ply = two yarns twisted together- 3-ply = three yarns twisted together

Woven – interlacing two sets of yarns.

Knitted – interlocking one or more yarns together using loops.

Bonded – non –woven ‘webs’ made of synthetic fibres glued or melted together.

Fibres obtained from natural sources (plants and animals). Harvested and processed before being spun into yarn.• Come from renewable sources (always

produce more)• Sustainable. • Biodegradable• Often recyclable. • Absorbent and strong when dry• Poor resistance to biological damage e.g.

moths and mould.

Wool:• From a sheep’s fleece – sheared, cleaned,

washed (scoured) and combed (carding).LINEN:• From the stalk of a flax plant – remove the

seeds, loosen the bark (retting), remove the bark (scutching), carding.

COTTON:• From the seed pods of the cotton plant –

treated with chemicals, cleaned, seeds removed, carding.

SILK:• From the cocoon made by silk worms – soften

the gum by soaking in warm water, the filament is then unwound (reeling).

Fabric finishesFlame retardance – fabrics are less likely to catch fire.Water resistance – chemicals applied to the surface to stop water droplets passing through.Stain resistance – mixture of silicone and fluorine or a Teflon coating to stop grease and dirt penetrating.Crease resistance – chemicals and resins can make fabric feel stiffer. Shrink resistance – scales (on wool fibre) can be permanently removed with chlorine to smooth the surface

Mixed with other yarns to give stretch

Synthetic fibresMan-made fibres made from polymers that come mainly from coal or oil.POLYESTER, LYCRA, ACRYLIC (coal):• Crude oil is heated to separate the chemicals, some

of the chemicals are made into polymers, polymers are melted to form a liquid, it’s then cooled to form long filaments that are turned into yarn.

NYLON (oil):• Coal is heated in a container to make a sludge called

coal tar, the chemicals are turned into monomers which are used to form filaments and turned to yarn.

The science behind baking bread

The dough is kneaded to give the

bread its texture.The protein in the

flour is stretched to make an elastic

dough and pockets of gas are formed.

Whilst the dough is proving, bubbles of carbon dioxide gas

are formed from the yeast action.

These help to stretch the dough and make it rise.

In the oven the gas bubbles(carbon dioxide and air) expandwith the heat.This makes the bread rise further.

Eventually the heat sets the loaf giving it a well-risen structure and a light and spongytexture.

• Magnetic material is always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic

• Iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic materials• Magnets have a north pole and south pole. • Like poles repel and opposite poles attract.• Magnetic fields go form the north to the south

pole • Electromagnets are controlled by a current that

can be turned on and off.• Electromagnets are used in maglev trains,

hospitals and cars.WEE

Learn these properties of metals and non-metals

Metals Non-metals

Good conductors of electricity and

heat

Poor conductors of electricity and

heat

Shiny Dull

High density (heavy for its size) Low density (light for its size)

Malleable (hammer into shapes)Brittle (breaks easily)

Ductile (pull into wires)

Sonorous (makes ringing noise

when hit)

Not sonorous

High melting and boiling points Low melting and boiling points

Group 1 metals• Are found on the left of the periodic table.• Group 1 metals are also called Alkali metals. • They are good conductors of electricity and heat. • They are also shiny when freshly cut. • They have low melting and boiling points, and

low densities. • They are also very reactive with water, reacting to

make hydroxides and hydrogen gas.

Group 1 metal + water → Metal hydroxide + hydrogen

• Group1 metals also react with oxygen so need to be stored in oil.

• As you go down Group 1, the reactivity increases, the mass increases and the melting/boiling points decrease.

• Group 7 elements are also called Halogens. • They are non-metals, with low melting points and do not conduct electricity. • Going down Group 7, melting/boiling points increases, the state changes, colour get

darker and reactivity decreases.• In displacement reactions, the more reactive element displaces a less reactive element

from its compound.

• Group 0 elements are called noble gases, they are unreactive. • Group 0 include Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon• Helium is used in balloons, neon is used in lights, argon is used in lightbulbs, krypton is

used in lasers.
