Work on Proteins

Hi!
Mr Dawson asked me to write a post on the work we've done on proteins :)

Amino Acids + Proteins:

-General structure (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary)

-Properties of amino acids (amino acids being amphoteric)
-The R group, amine group and carboxyl group
-Bonds (peptide, ionic, disulphide, hydrogen)


The essay...

"The Biological Importance of Proteins to Living Things"

...not another one!! Good luck everyone!

The Practical Write Up

Hello 12A :o)Hope you are all getting on well with the practical write up, you all carried out the experiment exceptionally well regardless of whether or not it worked! Remember graphs, conclusions and evaluations!! Enjoy!

Feedback from Common Assessment

Hi,

I wasn't at all happy with my Common Assessment 1 because I scored sooo low. But reflecting back now, I hadn't done much background reading and for that matter any revision. Then when marking my test in class I realised that it is my recalling facts and understanding that I really need to improve.
So I've learnt now that I really should have revisied more thoroughly. I don't think I've underestimated the challenge and expectations of A Level Biology because I knew I would find it difficult. But feel that a little bit of background reading will definently benefit me in the long run.

The Common Assessment One Test

One way in which I would like you to use this blog is to help you be reflective learners. I would like your comments about your test result and what actions you are going to take to help your progress in the subject.

The class average mark was 12/28 (41%)

Think about the following questions:

1) How much background reading have you done to support your lesson notes?
2) How much revision did you do for the test?
3) Did you find it difficult to recall facts, demonstrate understanding or apply your understanding to a new situation?
4) Have you underestimated the challenge and expectations of A Level?

Sharing your comments and ideas on this blog will help each other! I look forward to your comments.

Welcome to Your Blog

Hello everybody.

I thought it might be useful and fun to have a class blog.

Here we can keep a diary of what we have learnt and I hope to use it for your learning in the future.

If you have any ideas, hints, help, links then post them here, share them with the class. If you want to have a moan, complain, share your worries about the course then post them here (but try to be constructive)

I'll introduce the blog in a lesson soon.
