combined science - year 10

“Science is more than a body of knowledge; it’s a way of thinking, a way of sceptically interrogating the universe”

– Carl Sagan –

Cells are the basic unit of all forms of life In this topic pupils will explore how structural differences between types of cells enables them to perform specific functions within the organism	Pupils will learn about the human digestive system which provides the body with nutrients and the respiratory system that provides it with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide	Pupils will learn about the human digestive system which provides the body with nutrients and the respiratory system that provides it with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.	Pupils will learn about microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. How these can lead to diseases and how our body deals with them	Pupils will learn about microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. How these can lead to diseases and how our body deals with them	Pupils will learn how through the process of photosynthesis; plants harness the Sun’s energy to make food
