Maths year 8 Term 5 and 6
Topic/Skill Definition/Tips Example
1. Metric
System
A system of measures based on:
- the metre for length
- the kilogram for mass
- the second for time
Length: mm, cm, m, km
Mass: mg, g, kg
Volume: ml, cl, l
1𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠 = 1000 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠
1 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒 = 100 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠
1 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒 = 10 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠
1 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚 = 1000 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑠
2. Imperial
System
A system of weights and measures
originally developed in England, usually
based on human quantities
Length: inch, foot, yard, miles
Mass: lb, ounce, stone
Volume: pint, gallon
1𝑙𝑏 = 16 𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠
1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡 = 12 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠
1 𝑔𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑛 = 8 𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
3. Metric and
Imperial Units
Use the unitary method to convert
between metric and imperial units. 5 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑠 ≈ 8 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠
1 𝑔𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑛 ≈ 4.5 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠
2.2 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠 ≈ 1 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚
1 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ = 2.5 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠
4. Speed,
Distance, Time Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Distance = Speed x Time
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Remember the correct units.
Speed = 4mph
Time = 2 hours
Find the Distance.
𝐷 = 𝑆 × 𝑇 = 4 × 2 = 8 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑠
5. Density,
Mass, Volume Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Mass = Density x Volume
Volume = Mass ÷ Density
Remember the correct units.
Density = 8kg/m³
Mass = 2000g
Find the Volume.
𝑉 = 𝑀 ÷ 𝐷 = 2 ÷ 8 = 0.25𝑚³
6. Pressure,
Force, Area Pressure = Force ÷ Area
Force = Pressure x Area
Area = Force ÷ Pressure
Pressure = 10 Pascals
Area = 6cm²
Find the Force
Topic: Compound Measures
Maths year 8 Term 5 and 6
Remember the correct units.
𝐹 = 𝑃 × 𝐴 = 10 × 6 = 60 𝑁
7. Distance-
Time Graphs
You can find the speed from the gradient
of the line (Distance ÷ Time)
The steeper the line, the quicker the speed.
A horizontal line means the object is not
moving (stationary).
8. Circle A circle is the locus of all points equidistant
from a central point.
9. Parts of a
Circle
Radius – the distance from the centre of a
circle to the edge
Diameter – the total distance across the
width of a circle through the centre.
Circumference – the total distance around
the outside of a circle
Chord – a straight line whose end points
lie on a circle Tangent – a straight line which touches a
circle at exactly one point
Arc – a part of the circumference of a
circle
Sector – the region of a circle enclosed by
two radii and their intercepted arc
Segment – the region bounded by a chord
and the arc created by the chord
10. Area of a
Circle 𝑨 = 𝝅𝒓𝟐 which means ‘pi x radius
squared’.
If the radius was 5cm, then:
𝐴 = 𝜋 × 52 = 78.5𝑐𝑚2
11.
Circumference
of a Circle
𝑪 = 𝝅𝒅 which means ‘pi x diameter’ If the radius was 5cm, then:
𝐶 = 𝜋 × 10 = 31.4𝑐𝑚
12. 𝜋 (‘pi’) Pi is the circumference of a circle divided
by the diameter.
𝝅 ≈ 𝟑. 𝟏𝟒
13. Mean Add up the values and divide by how many
values there are.
The mean of 3, 4, 7, 6, 0, 4, 6 is 3 + 4 + 7 + 6 + 0 + 4 + 6
7= 5
Maths year 8 Term 5 and 6
14. Mean from
a Table
1. Find the midpoints (if necessary)
2. Multiply Frequency by values or
midpoints
3. Add up these values
4. Divide this total by the Total Frequency
If grouped data is used, the answer will be
an estimate.
15. Median
Value
The middle value.
Put the data in order and find the middle
one.
If there are two middle values, find the
number half way between them by adding
them together and dividing by 2.
Find the median of: 4, 5, 2, 3, 6, 7, 6
Ordered: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7
Median = 5
16. Median
from a Table Use the formula
(𝒏+𝟏)
𝟐 to find the position of
the median.
𝑛 is the total frequency.
If the total frequency is 15, the median
will be the (15+1
2) = 8𝑡ℎ position
17. Mode
/Modal Value
Most frequent/common.
Can have more than one mode (called bi-
modal or multi-modal) or no mode (if all
values appear once)
Find the mode: 4, 5, 2, 3, 6, 4, 7, 8, 4
Mode = 4
18. Range Highest value subtract the Smallest value
Range is a ‘measure of spread’. The smaller
the range the more consistent the data.
Find the range: 3, 31, 26, 102, 37, 97.
Range = 102-3 = 99
19. Volume Volume is a measure of the amount of
space inside a solid shape.
Units: 𝑚𝑚3, 𝑐𝑚3, 𝑚3 etc.
20. Volume of
a Cube/Cuboid 𝑽 = 𝑳𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉 × 𝑾𝒊𝒅𝒕𝒉 × 𝑯𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕
𝑽 = 𝑳 × 𝑾 × 𝑯
You can also use the Volume of a Prism
formula for a cube/cuboid.
Maths year 8 Term 5 and 6
21. Prism A prism is a 3D shape whose cross section
is the same throughout.
22. Cross
Section
The cross section is the shape that
continues all the way through the prism.
23. Perimeter The total distance around the outside of a
shape.
Units include: 𝑚𝑚, 𝑐𝑚, 𝑚 etc.
𝑃 = 8 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 26𝑐𝑚
24. Area The amount of space inside a shape.
Units include: 𝑚𝑚2, 𝑐𝑚2, 𝑚2
25. Area of a
Rectangle Length x Width
𝐴 = 36𝑐𝑚2

Biology Knowledge Organiser: Organisms and their Relationships- Year 8
Abiotic (non-living factors) that effect communities of organisms
Biotic (living factors) that effect communities of organisms
Light intensity Availability of food
Temperature New predators arriving
Moisture levels New pathogens
Soil pH and mineral content New competitors
Wind intensity and direction
Carbon dioxide levels for plants
Availability of oxygen for aquatic animals
The importance of communities An ecosystem is the interaction of a community of living organisms with the non-living (abiotic) parts of their environment Organisms require materials from their surroundings and other living organisms to survive and reproduce Within a community, each species depends on other species for food, shelter, pollination, seed dispersal. If one species is removed it can affect the whole community. This is called interdependence A stable community is where all the species and environmental factors are in balance so that population sizes remain fairly constant.
Key terms Population– the number of plants or animals of the same type that live in the same area. Predator– An animal that eats other animals. Prey– an animal that is eaten by another animal. Niche– organisms can co-exist within a habitat as they have a different niche. Interdependence - is the way in which organisms depend on each other to survive, grow and reproduce. Community-the organisms in a ecosystem Omnivore - an animal that eats both plants and animals. Ecosystem –where plants and animals are found in a particular location Habitat– The area in which an organism lives.
Food chains Food chains show the transfer of energy between organisms. Producer - an organism that makes its own food. Plants are producers and make food by photosynthesis. Consumer - an organism that eats other organisms as food. Herbivore - an animal that eats only plants. Carnivore – an animal that eats only other animals as food.
Food webs A food web is a set of linked food chains. When all the food chains in a habitat are joined up together they form a food web. Here is an example of a food web below.
Bioaccumulation Toxic chemicals can build up in organisms in a food chain until they reach harmful levels. This is called bioaccumulation. It is not only energy that transfers along a food chain. Some chemicals such as insecticides can be passed on.
For example: Some insecticides are washed into rivers and end up in the sea. Fish absorb small amounts of these chemicals and store them in their body. Seals eat the fish and the insecticide passes into their body. The levels of chemical accumulate (build up) in the seals because one seal eats a lot of fish. This process is called bioaccumulation.
Trophic levels and biomass A trophic level is a feeding level within a food chain Trophic levels are numbered according to how far the organism is along the food chain. Level 1 – Produces (plants/algae) Level 2- Primary consumers (herbivores) Level 3 – Secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores) Level 4 – Tertiary consumers (eat secondary consumers) Apex predators – Carnivores with no predators Decomposers break down dead animals and secret enzymes into the environment. Pyramids of biomass can be constructed to represent the relative amount of biomass at each level of the food chain. Trophic level 1 is always at the bottom of the pyramid.
The amount of biomass in the organisms at each trophic level is less than in the previous level because: Not all off the organisms are eaten Some of the biomass eaten is passed out as faeces Large amounts of biomass are used in respiration.
Pyramids of biomass are always a pyramid shape.

Summer Term Year 8 - Geography Knowledge Organiser
Coasts
1. Erosion The wearing away of material
2. Transportation The movement of material along the coastline
3. Deposition When the sea deposits (puts down) the material it is carrying.
4. Abrasion The waves picking up stones and rubbing them against the cliffs
wearing them away.
5. Hydraulic action The sheer power and force of the water hitting against the cliffs/
coastline which removes material.
6. Attrition When rocks carried by the water collide & bump into each other,
causing them to break into smaller, smoother pieces
7. Solution Some rock minerals dissolve in river water (e.g. calcium carbonate in
limestone)
8. Freeze-thaw
weathering
Water - from rainfall or melting snow and ice - becomes trapped in a
crack or joint in the rock. If the air temperature drops below freez-
ing, the water will freeze and expand by 9-10 per cent putting pres-
sure on the rock. The ice will melt when the temperature rises
above freezing. If this process happens repeatedly, the rock will
weaken and eventually shatter into angular fragments.
9. Biological weath-
ering
Animals and plants can wear away rocks. For example, burrowing
animals such as rabbits can burrow into a crack in a rock, making it
bigger and splitting the rock.
Plant roots can grow in cracks. As they grow bigger, the roots push
open the cracks and make them wider and deeper. Eventually pieces
of rock may fall away.
10. Chemical weath-
ering
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate. When carbon dioxide is
dissolved in rainwater, it makes a weak acid called carbonic acid.
When carbonic acid comes into contact with limestone and passes
through joints and bedding planes, it reacts with the rock to
form calcium bicarbonate. The calcium bicarbonate is soluble and is
carried away in solution, gradually weathering the limestone.

16. Coastal manage-

Groyne
A groyne a rigid structure built from an ocean shore that interrupts
water flow and limits the movement of sediment. It prevents the
process of long shore drift.
17. Sea wall A wall built on the edge of the coastline.
18. Rip Rap Large boulders are piled up on the beach.
19. Beach replenish-
ment
This replaces beach or cliff material that has been removed by ero-
sion or longshore drift.
20. Managed retreat Areas of the coast are allowed to erode and flood naturally. Usually
this will be areas considered to be of low value - eg places not being
used for housing or farmland.
21. Long shore
drift
22. Case study
Holderness
coast
The Holderness coast is in the north east of England. This is one of the
most vulnerable coastlines in the world and it retreats at a rate of one to
two metres every year.
The problem is caused by:
• Strong prevailing winds creating longshore drift that moves material
south along the coastline.
• The cliffs are made of a soft boulder clay. It will there-
fore erode quickly, especially when saturated.
The village of Mappleton, perched on a cliff top on the Holderness coast,
has approximately 50 properties. Due to the erosion of the cliffs, the vil-
lage is under threat.
In 1991, the decision was taken to protect Mappleton. A coastal man-
agement scheme costing £2 million was introduced involving two types
of hard engineering - placing rock armour along the base of the cliff and
building two rock groynes.
• Mappleton and the cliffs are no longer at great risk from erosion.
• The rock groynes have stopped beach material being moved south
from Mappleton along the coast. However, this
has increased erosion south of Mappleton. Benefits in one area might
have a negative effect on another.
The increased threat of sea level rise due to climate change, means that
other places will need to consider the sustainability of coastal defence
strategies for the future.
Year 8 Summer Term Geography Knowledge Organiser—Africa
Summer Term - History Knowledge Organiser: Slave trade and Civil Rights
1. British Empire It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established
by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height,
it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the
foremost global power.
2. Triangular Slave
trade
Operated from the late 16th to early 19th centuries, carrying slaves, cash
crops, and manufactured goods between West Africa,
Caribbean or American colonies and the European colonial powers, with
the northern colonies of British North America, especially New England,
sometimes taking over the role of Europe.
3. Middle Passage The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions
of Africans were shipped to the New World (Americas) from West Africa
as part of the Atlantic slave trade.
4. Tight Pack Slave ships made large profits by carrying as many slaves as possible
across the Atlantic to sell at auction. This method involved packing as
many slaves into the hold as possible. It was expected that some would
die but a large number would survive the voyage.
5. Loose Pack In this method fewer slaves were loaded, giving them more space to lie
out. More slaves survived the voyage, so less money was lost.
6. Auction Once in the Americas, slaves were sold, by auction, to the person that bid
the most money for them. It was here that family members would find
themselves split up, as a bidder may not want to buy the whole family,
only the strongest, healthiest member.
7. Scramble Sale Purchasers would literally "scramble" to gather as many slaves as they
could. People newly transported from Africa would be herded into a pen,
surrounded by eager buyers, often pushing and shoving in order to posi-
tion themselves to grab hold of the finest specimens. A starting gun would
be fired, and the buyers would surge into the pen to try and collect the
best individuals. Following the scramble, buyers lined up with their
"captured" slaves and paid for them at a fixed price.
8. Passive Resistance Uprising, or rebellion, was the most dramatic and bloody way that slaves
could resist their enslavement. Less obvious methods of passive
resistance occurred on the plantations such as stealing and damaging
property, working slowly and feigning stupidity.
9. House Slave House slaves worked in the homes of plantation owners performing do-
mestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning. They are sometimes believed
by historians to have been better treated than filed hand slaves.
10. Field Hand Were slaves who laboured in the plantation fields. They commonly were
used to plant, tend, and harvest cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco. Field
slaves usually worked in the fields from sunrise to sundown, while being
monitored by an overseer.
11. Thomas Clarkson Was an English abolitionist, and a leading campaigner against the slave trade in the British Empire.
He helped found The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade (also known as the Soci-
ety for the Abolition of the Slave Trade) and helped achieve passage of the Slave Trade Act of
1807, which ended British trade in slaves.
12. William
Wilberforce
An MP who in 1787, came into contact with Thomas Clarkson and a group of anti-slave-trade
activists, including Granville Sharp, Hannah More and Charles Middleton. They persuaded
Wilberforce to take on the cause of abolition, and he soon became one of the leading
English abolitionists. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for
twenty years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807.
13. Olaudah Equiano Was a freed slave of Igbo extraction from the eastern part of present-day Nigeria, who supported
the British movement to end the slave trade. His autobiography, published in 1789, helped in the
creation of the Slave Trade Act 1807 which ended the African slave trade for Britain and its
colonies.
14. Abolition Act 1807 The act abolished the Slave Trade in the British colonies. It became illegal to carry slaves in British
ships (although many ships tried to evade the ban). The ultimate aim, however, had always been
the abolition of slavery itself which the Act did not achieve.
15. American Civil War The American Civil War was fought in the United States from 1861 to 1865. As a result of the long-
standing controversy over slavery, war broke out in April 1861, when Confederate forces
attacked Fort Sumterin South Carolina, shortly after U.S. President Abraham Lin-
coln was inaugurated. The nationalists of the Union proclaimed loyalty to the U.S. Constitution.
They faced secessionists of the Confederate States, who advocated for states' rights to expand
slavery.
16. Ku Klux Klan Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and
became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Reconstruction-era policies aimed at
establishing political and economic equality for former slaves.
17. Lynching In the U.S. most perpetrators of lynchings were white and the victims black. The political
message—the promotion of white supremacy and black powerlessness—was an important
element of the ritual, with lynchings photographed and published as postcards which were popular
souvenirs in the U.S
18. Segregation Segregation is the term used to describe the separation of black and white people in many south-
ern states of the United States, still common place until the 1960s. This meant many black people
were unable to sit on certain seats on public transport, enter certain shops or attend certain
schools.
19. Jim Crow Laws In many southern states discrimination was commonplace - and legal. States such as Alabama
introduced a series of laws to keep the races separated and the black population under control.
These measures were nicknamed the 'Jim Crow' laws, after a fictional character in the popular
minstrel shows that made fun of black people.
20. Martin Luther King
Jr
Was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and
leader in the civil rights movement from 1954 through 1968. He is best known for his role in the
advancement of civil rights using the tactics of nonviolence and civil disobedience based on
his Christian beliefs and inspired by the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi.
Summer Term - History Knowledge Organiser: Britain 1750 - 1914
1. Agricultural
Revolution
The transformation of British agriculture traditionally regarded as taking
place in England in the 18th and early 19th centuries around the time of
the Industrial Revolution.
2. Industrial
Revolution
The rapid development of industry that occurred in Britain in the late
18th and 19th centuries, brought about by the introduction of machinery.
It was characterized by the use of steam power, the growth of factories,
and the mass production of manufactured goods.
3. John Kay Kay invented the flying shuttle, a machine that represented an important
step toward automatic weaving. Using the flying shuttle, one weaver
could weave fabrics of any width more quickly than two could before.
4. Richard Arkwright Sir Richard Arkwright was an English inventor and a leading entrepreneur
during the early Industrial Revolution. He is credited with inventing
the spinning frame, which following the transition to water power was
renamed the water frame. Later in his life Arkwright was known as the
"father of the modern industrial factory system."
5. Richard Trevithick Richard Trevithick was a British mechanical engineer and inventor who
successfully harnessed high-pressure steam and constructed the world’s
first steam railway locomotive (1803). In 1805 he adapted his high-
pressure engine to driving an iron-rolling mill and to propelling a barge
with the aid of paddle wheels.
6. Cholera Asiatic cholera originated in India and spread to Europe in the early years
of the nineteenth-century. In Britain the first cases were diagnosed late in
1831. The epidemic, reached London in February 1832.
7. John Snow Was a famous English doctor who proved that Cholera was not an air
borne disease (Miasma) but was spread in the water supply. He proved
this in 1854 in Soho when he traced a Cholera outbreak to the Broad
Street Pump.
8. 1848 and 1875
Public Health Acts
Were a series of Acts of Parliament designed to improve the terrible
public health conditions being experienced by the rapidly expanding
population of Britain.
9. Smallpox In London, in the decade from 1760 to 1770, 25,000 people died of small-
pox, out of a total death toll of 250,000 – which means that smallpox
accounted for a tenth of all deaths. It was a terrible disease which, if
survived, caused terrible scarring.
10. Edward Jenner Made the link between Cowpox and Smallpox working with milk maids in
Gloucestershire. Hen then experimented giving cowpox to people and
proving their immunity to smallpox. This became the first vaccination.
11. Tenements In the rapidly expanding urban areas of Britain in the 19th Century tenement blocks became
common. These buildings were built to provide high density housing for migrants to the city and
housed whole families in one room. They were often 5+ stories high and had no form of running
water and sanitation.
12. Poor Laws he Poor Law was the way that the poor were helped in 1815. The law said that each parish had to
look after its own poor. If you were unable to work then you were given some money to help you
survive. However, the cost of the Poor Law was increasing every year. By 1830 it cost about £7
million and criticism of the law was mounting.
13. Workhouses Life in a workhouse was intended to be harsh, to deter the able-bodied poor and to ensure that
only the truly destitute would apply. As the 19th century wore on, workhouses increasingly
became refuges for the elderly, infirm and sick rather than the able-bodied poor.
14. The Chartists Chartism was a working-class movement for political reform in Britain that existed from 1838 to
1857. It took its name from the People's Charter of 1838 and was a national protest movement,
with particular strongholds of support in Northern England, the East Midlands, the Staffordshire
Potteries, the Black Country, and the South Wales Valleys.
15. The Reform Act Was a piece of British legislation that enfranchised part of the urban male working class in England
and Wales for the first time in 1867.
Before the Act, only one million of the seven million adult males in England and Wales could vote;
the Act immediately doubled that number. Moreover, by the end of 1868 all male heads of house-
hold were enfranchised as a result of the end of compounding of rents.
16. Suffragettes The Suffragettes wanted the right for women to vote.
The move for women to have the vote had really started in 1897 when Millicent Fawcett founded
the National Union of Women’s Suffrage. “Suffrage” means the right to vote and that is what
women wanted – hence its inclusion in Fawcett’s title.
17. Jack the Ripper Between August and November 1888,the Whitechapel area of London was the scene of five brutal
murders. The killer was dubbed 'Jack the Ripper'. All the women murdered were prostitutes, and
all except for one - Elizabeth Stride - were horribly mutilated.
18. Transportation Transportation was an alternative punishment to hanging. Convicted criminals were transported to
the colonies to serve their prison sentences. It had the advantages of removing the criminal from
society and being quite cheap - the state only had to pay the cost of the journey.

Desktop Publishing What is desktop publishing?
How do columns define the design of a document? The number of columns you use gives the reader a message as to what type of material can be expected . Newspapers tend to use four or five columns, while magazines tend to use three. Books normally use one or two columns . Titles and text must be flush left and images lined up Graphics- Images are used to attract the readers eye, and persuade them to read the publication. Therefore, photographs or graphics should accompany the text they support.
Graphics also help to break up long "gray" passages of text, to make it more palatable for the reader.
Tips for Image Use: Make them
•Relevant Use pictures to clarify key concepts and attract attention to them.
Consistent Unify your publication with your choice or treatment of pictures.
Human Most people like to look at other people. Portraits of people will draw readers' attention, especially if the images are relevant
House style is a company's preferred manner of presentation and layout of written material.

Summer Term - Performing Arts Music Knowledge Organiser The Beatles
The Beatles were a highly successful and popular British rock band from Liverpool, England. They are widely regarded as the most influential rock band in history and are known world-wide. The Beatles continue to be a major influence on music well into the 21st century, having sold over a billion records overall. The Beatles paved the way for new musical styles and influenced cultural revolutions in the 1960s and 1970s. The members of the most famous line-up of the Beatles were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
The world’s largest purpose-built recording studio, Studio One can comfortably accommodate a large symphony orchestra or chorus. It’s played host to celebrated classical recordings from Elgar and Prokofiev, as well as iconic film scores from The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back, Skyfall and Gravity to Black Panther, Solo: A Star Wars Story and the multi award winning The Shape of Water. Artist sessions include Stevie Wonder, Kanye West, Sting, Harry Styles and U2.
Summer Term - Performing Arts Music Knowledge Organiser Film Music
Key Ideas and Concepts
1. Purpose Music in a film is there to set the scene, enhance the mood, tell the audience things that the visuals cannot, or manipulate their feelings. Sound effects are not music!
2. Specially composed music
Some music is composed specially for a film. Much of this is broadly classical in style.
3. Borrowed music Some music used in film soundtracks was composed for other (non-film) purposes, but is adopted for use in a film because it fits the film-maker’s intentions.
4. Theme songs Sometimes a song, usually a pop song, is used as a theme song for a film. This helps with marketing and publicity.
5. Video game music Music for video games fulfils a very similar function to that of film music.
Key Terms
1. Click track A click metronome heard by musicians through headphones as they record.
2. Cues The parts of the film that require music. This is agreed between the director and the composer.
3. Diegetic Music that is part of the action: the characters in the film can hear it.
4. Leitmotif A short melody that is associated with a character or idea in a film.
5. Mickey mousing When the music fits precisely with a specific part of the action in a film.
6. Non-diegetic Music that is not part of the action: the characters in the film cannot hear it. It is just for the audience.
7. Syncing, sync point A precise moment where the timing of the music needs to fit with the action.
8. Underscore Where music is played at the same time as action or dialogue.

Monologue When a character performs a speech, on their own. In a monologue, the actor’s relationship with the audience is essential, as is a strong sense of character.
Atmosphere The ‘feel’ or mood of a scene. This is created by the actions of those on stage - movement and speech creates a particular atmosphere, and changing the movement/speech changes the atmosphere.
Synchronisation When things are done ‘in-time’, i.e. two or more people doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time.
Proxemics The distances on stage, and what they imply. For example if we see two characters stood next to each other onstage, we assume they have a close relationship.
Stimulus The initial ‘thing’ that your devised piece will be based on. This could be anything - an image, a song, some words. You can take themes or ideas from the stimulus and develop drama from there.
Structure An important thing to consider will be the structure of your performance. How do you want it to start? How do you want it to finish? What are you building towards?
Audience reaction One of the most important things to consider when devising is how you want your audience to react to the piece. Then you can consider how you achieve this effect.
Thought-tracking When characters step out and tell us their thoughts. Can tell us much more about a character.
Hot-seating When one person plays a character, sitting on the seat, and others ask questions. Can tell us much more about a character.
Narration Telling the story to the audience. Could be done by any actor on stage, not just a narrator...
Physical theatre When we use our movement and positions to represent things that aren't 'human'. Can be used to create different locations, moods, atmospheres as well as to show us a character’s state of mind.
Flashback Breaking the timeframe of the play to show us moments from the characters’ past
Direct address When characters speak directly to the audience, acknowledging their existence and addressing them as actual people. Used to create a closer relationship between the characters and the audience.
Multi-roleing When actors play more than one character in the same performance. Used to break the ‘realism’ of the play.
Non-naturalism When a play is set up to not look real.
Cross-cutting When you set up two scenes and switch between them. This can be used to show contrast, or two sides of a story
Marking the moment Utilising contrast to make one moment of a scene more important. Can be done in lots of different ways (pace, volume, stillness, etc). Highlights an important moment for the audience.

The phone holder must: Keep the phone in an upright position Be able to hold a specified phone Be constructed out of acrylic Use vinyl to add detail and pattern
THERMOPLASTIC These plastics do not resist heat very well and so can be easily formed into other shapes. On heating this type of plastic does not undergo a chemical change (as is the case with thermosetting plastic) and waste can be re-ground into granules and re-used. A heated sheet of thermoplastic which has been moulded into a shape can be reheated and it will go back to its original shape. This returning to shape is referred to as plastic memory.
THERMOSETTING These are stronger and harder than thermoplastics. They resist heat and fire and are often used for objects like pan handles and electrical fittings. These plastics do not change shape when re-heated.
THERMOPLASTIC Properties Uses
Polyamides (nylon) Tough, resists abrasion, self lubricating Ropes, fishing line, gears, zips
Acrylics Good impact strength and transparency Goggles, windows, lenses
Polycarbonates Strength, toughness, resists impact Bottles, safety helmets
Polyethylene Differing densities, resists chemicals Buckets, toys, small components
PVC Cheap, rigid or flexible, poor strength. Low resistance to heat

Vacuum forming Thermoplastic sheet clamped in place;Sheet is heated;Mould pushed into the melted plastic;Air is sucked out to force sheet over mould;5. Plastic allowed to cool and the mould is the ejected.
Line bending Mark a sheet of thermoplastic, such as acrylic;Heat over a thin narrow line until it becomes soft and pliable;3. The sheet can then be bent into an angle, often using a jig or former.
Injection Moulding
Granules of thermoplastic are fed into the screw unit via a hopper;The granules are melted by heaters which surround the unit;4. The molten plastic is forced into a mould;5. Water is then pumped around the mould to cool the plastic before the product is ejected.
Blow Moulding
A parison of molten plastic is inserted into the split mould;The split mould closes;Hot air is pushed into the plastic, pushing the plastic to the edge of the mould;4. The plastic is then cooled, allowing it to harden. The mould is opened and the product ejected.
A jig is used to make sure that parts are made exactly the same, without the need for marking out. For example, when drilling through a block of wood with two holes in, it will make sure that the holes are drilled in the same place in each component.
A former is used to make sure that parts are shaped or bent to exactly the same shape.
A template is something that you can draw around to mark a shape onto material, so that it can be cut or shaped.
A pattern is used to make a mould when casting in metal or plastic resin. It is a replica of the finished object and may be made in wood or another soft material. Patterns are also used when shaping plastics in a vacuum-forming machine.
A mould is a hollow shape used when casting metal or plastic resin. Moulds for casting metal can be made in a special type of sand, in metal or in plaster. Moulds for casting resin can be made of plaster or rubber

Project: Wooden Box
Design Brief
Design and make a wooden box suitable to keep small objects safe. Your box must:
Have various box joints
Use different types of wood to include pine, MDF and ply wood
Have a patterned lid stained with wood dye
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than plywood.
Plywood is an engineered wood product made from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another.

Timber
There are two types of timber, called hardwood and softwood. These names do not refer to the properties of the wood: some softwoods can be hard and some hardwoods can be soft. Softwoods come from coniferous trees which are evergreen, needle-leaved, cone-bearing trees, such as cedar, fir and pine.
Hardwoods come from broad-leaved, deciduous trees. The main hardwood timbers are ash, beech, birch, cherry, elm, mahogany, oak and teak.
Hardwood
This type of timber is produced from broad leaf trees that lose their leaves in winter – a deciduous tree. The photograph opposite is of the oak tree which grows in this country.
Uses – Oak is a hardwood and is used to make expensive furniture/flooring and strong framed structures.
The term hardwood does not mean that the timber is hard. For example balsa is used for modelling, it is a hard wood but it is one of the softest timbers to work with.
Model aircraft made out of balsa.
This type of timber is produced from trees that do not lose their leaves (coniferous).
Softwood trees grow much quicker than the hardwood ones, they are therefore cheaper to buy and far more available. Softwood is used for construction of houses and furniture and outdoor uses such as fencing.
Leaves are easily identified as being thin and narrow.
The term “softwood” does not mean that the timber is soft, as pitch pine is one of the most difficult timbers to work with, yet is a member of this group.

Soldering in Ten Steps:
Start with the smallest components working up to the taller components, soldering any interconnecting wires last.
2. Place the components into the board, making sure it goes in the right way around and the part sits flush against the board. Bend the leads slightly to secure the part. Make sure the soldering iron has warmed up and if necessary use the damp
sponge to clean the tip. Place the soldering iron on the pad. Using your free hand feed the end of the solder onto the pad (top
picture) Remove the solder, then the soldering iron. Leave the joint to cool for a few seconds. Using a pair of cutters trim the excess component lead (middle picture). If you make a mistake heat up the joint with the soldering iron, whilst the
solder is molten, place the tip of your solder extractor by the solder and push the button (bottom picture).

Types of Pastry
Shortcrust Pastry
This is probably the most versatile type of pastry as it can be used for savoury and sweet pies, tarts and flans. There are several different ways of making shortcrust pastry.
Puff Pastry
This is one of the ‘flaked pastries’ characterised by fat and air being trapped between the layers of the pastry dough to give a flimsy, light and crisp finish.. It is used for savoury pie crusts and as wrapping for meat and poultry, as well as vol-au-vents, cream horns and mille feuilles (small iced cakes that are filled with jam and cream.)
Flaky Pastry
Used as a crust for savoury pies, sausage rolls, Eccles cakes and jam puffs, flaky pastry is best made in cool conditions and must be chilled during and after making, to prevent the fat content from melting out under cooking conditions.
Filo Pastry
This type of pastry is made in very thin sheets and used as a casing for numerous delicate savoury and sweet dishes. Made with high gluten content flour, filo is very difficult to make and needs careful handling because it is such a thin, fragile pastry that dries out quickly.

Keyword Definition
Salmonella A bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. It can also be found on raw meats, poultry, eggs and in unpasteurised milk.
E. Coli Type of bacteria common in human and animal intestines
Campylobacter The most common cause of food poisoning in the UK. It is found in undercooked meat, especially chicken.
Conduction Occurs when two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other. Heat flows from the warmer to the cooler object until they are both at the same temperature.
Convection The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas) between areas of different temperature.
Radiation A method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object.
Food miles A way of measuring the environmental impact of how far food has travelled before it reaches the consumer.
Importing Bringing products or services into a country for sale that have been made elsewhere.
Exporting Businesses that sell their goods and services to customers in other countries.

How to use your Knowledge Organisers?
What is a Knowledge Organiser?
A knowledge Organiser sets out the most important facts and ideas that your teachers believe you
need to study their subject this term. We want you to memorise information that will support
what you are learning in class.
Why do we need Knowledge Organisers?
To make your homework more meaningful and to link it more directly to what you learn in
lessons.
To help you make sense of what you learn in lessons, allowing you to complete more chal-
lenging tasks.
To help you develop the memorising techniques you will need to be successful at GCSE.
To give you the opportunity to feel more of an expert in the subjects you are learning.
How does your memory work?
You store information in both your long and short
term memory. Your short term memory is your
‘working memory’ - you use it for day to day
thinking and problem solving, and memories here
are only held for a short amount of time. Your long
term memory contains information that you know
really well, and your short term memory ‘calls it up’
when it needs to use it.
If you don’t memorise information, your short term
memory soon ‘forgets it’. Also if you try to rely too
much on your short term memory it quickly
overloads and this will affect your ability to think
clearly and you will make mistakes.
To store information in your long term memory you need to practise:
Repetition - Keep coming back to the information again and again.
Spacing - Mixing up the information you study to test your memory.
Testing - Find ways to check what you remember, and to work out your weaker areas.
