At this point the work can seem really complicated but you simply need to remember the main points about structures of fats, carbohydrates (monosaccharides, polysaccharides) and proteins. You do NOT have to learn any detailed structures. Information about proteins || Revising. Please note that the test will be multiple choice on a computer form. You do not, therefore, have to draw out complicated structures. The test is closed note - no books allowed. || For next lesson || Go to the main building computer room. For the double lesson later we'll be looking at some work on the Periodic Table and its historical development. || TEST LINK: this will be activated during the lesson ||  ||   || Chemical reactions with metals. Ions. The Reactivity Series. Oxidation and Reduction. || Ilmiö p.193-210 ||  || Read Ilmiö p. 179-201 || 9B: Monday go to the computer room to work on the Metal Extraction Task. This will be continued in the technology computer room on Friday || Metal Extraction Task Instruction sheet: ||  || Deadlines: 9A 23.59 on 13 Nov; 9B 23.59 on 16 Nov (this gives you the lesson time plus that evening to complete it) || (No lesson Tuesday) || We will go through the metals task and look at how the extraction method relates to the reactivity series you have studied. On Friday 9B will see the extraction of copper from copper carbonate and study the extraction of iron using the blast furnace. ||  || At some point in your life, visit a kivipuisto - Finland has an amazing selection of rocks and you need to see things like the gold ores :) ! ||

Work in pairs to do this. You should include: You may include pictures. Sources are also needed and should be included on the A4 document. Using Publisher will help your work look more like the genuine article!
