Sixth Form Induction Tonbridge Grammar School PREPARING FOR THE TGS SIXTH FORM 2014 This document contains summer tasks for subjects being offered at Tonbridge Grammar School Sixth Form in September 2014. Summer reading and research will give you a head start in your studies. You may be asked to read around a subject, watch a film, go on a visit or read a book. This is preparation for which you will have more time than that available during term-time. Students in previous years have found it very useful to have extra insight and background to their courses. When you read or watch a film, keep a brief record of what you have done to discuss in your first lessons. Please contact the Sixth Form Team via Mrs Gailey should you have any questions (Tel No: 01732 365125). Best wishes for a pleasant summer. Mr Barker Director of Sixth Form September 2014 Entry BIOLOGY Task 1: Poster - Cell Structure IB (Standard and Higher) Research the ultrastructure of the cell and present your research as an A4 poster. The structure and function of cell organelles (e.g. mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, etc) should be described. A fully labelled and annotated diagram of cell ultrastructure is one approach but other imaginative means of presentation are welcome! Task 2: Visit If you would like to have a day out to visit an attraction here are some suggestions with biological links: The Old Operating Theatre near London Bridge is good for those interested in the history of medicine http://www.thegarret.org.uk/opening.htm The Natural History Museum, Knightsbridge has the most wonderful exhibitions, as well as world class collections of a broad range of organisms http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit-us/ Charles Darwin’s home is suitable if you want to learn a bit about how Darwin developed his theory of evolution by natural selection http://www.english- heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/home-of-charles-darwin-down-house/ CHEMISTRY Towards the end of the holiday, attempt the questions provided and bring them in to your first lesson. These questions will be about writing balanced equations, using moles and calculating concentrations. You should be able to answer most of them from your GCSE work, and by using a Periodic Table (accessible in your student planner or from the Internet), but you might need to consult a textbook if you get stuck! They are not all meant to be easy! 1. Explain what the term relative atomic mass (Ar) means. 2. Explain what the term relative molecular mass (Mr) means. 3. Write down the Ar of each element, using only the information given below: a) An atom of silver is nine times as heavy as an atom of carbon-12. b) An atom of magnesium is twice as heavy as an atom of carbon-12. c) An atom of hydrogen is one-twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon-12. d) An atom of silicon is 2.333 times as heavy as an atom of carbon-12. 4. Work out the Mr for each of the following compounds: a) Methane, CH4 b) Sodium chloride, NaCI September 2014 Entry c) Sodium hydroxide, NaOH d) Aluminium chloride, AICI3 e) Nitric acid, HNO3 5. Calculate the percentage by mass of each element in the following compounds. Give the answers to one decimal place. a) Ca(OH)2 b) CuSO4,5H20 c) NH4NO3 REMEMBER: When the number of grams of a substance is equal to its Ar or Mr, there are 6.02 x 1023 particles of the substance present. A mole is the amount of any substance that contains 6.02 x 1023 particles. 6. Calculate the number of a) sulphur atoms in 64g of sulphur b) oxygen atoms in 22g of carbon dioxide c) magnesium atoms in 0.01 moles of magnesium 7. Calculate the mass in grams of: a) 2 moles of calcium metal, Ca b) 0.5 moles of magnesium metal, Mg c) 1 mole of iodine, 12 d) 0.1 moles of sulphur, S8 e) 0.25 moles of calcium carbonate, CaCO3 8. Calculate the number of moles in: a) 14g of silicon b) 10.8g of silver c) 1.2g of carbon d) 31g of phosphorus, P4 e) 0.56g of calcium oxide, CaO 9. Calculate the concentration of each solution in mol dm3. You are given the mass of solute dissolving in a certain volume of solvent. 3 a) 3.65g of HCI in 1 dm 3 b) 0.98g of H2SO4 in 1 dm 3 c) 9.5g of MgCI2 in 0.5 dm d) 14.9g of KCI in 2 dm3 e) 0.4g of NaOH in 100 cm3 10. Write balanced equations for these reactions: a) Calcium metal and chlorine gas reacting to give calcium chloride b) Copper metal and oxygen gas reacting to give copper (II) oxide c) Magnesium metal and solid sulphur reacting to give magnesium sulphide d) Carbon and carbon dioxide reacting to give carbon monoxide e) Carbon and steam reacting to give hydrogen and carbon monoxide September 2014 Entry 11. Calculate the mass of magnesium oxide produced when 2.4g of magnesium is burnt in air. 12. Calculate the mass of iron produced from 110g of iron (III) oxide by the reaction: Fe2O3 + 3CO -------------- 2Fe + 3CO2 CLASSICAL GREEK & ROMAN STUDIES Suggested activities: 1. Visit a classical site/museum, for example: British Museum, Verulamium (St. Albans), Lullingstone Roman Villa or Bignor Roman villa. 2. Watch as many classical films and television programmes as you can. YouTube has some great documentaries by people like Mary Beard (Romans) and Bettany Hughes (Greeks). 3. Read all or a selection of: the Aeneid by Virgil, Odyssey or Iliad by Homer (Penguin translations). All available in translation online or cheap to buy second hand. 4. Read any book on Greek myths (a children’s book would be fine). COMPUTER SCIENCE Object Orientated Programming Download and install the Greenfoot programming environment (free) from: http://www.greenfoot.org We would like you to work through the “Joy of Code” video tutorials produced by Michael Kölling in “Mik’s Blog”: http://blogs.kent.ac.uk/mik/category/joy-of-code/ Go as far as you need with the tutorials to enable you to create your own program. There are plenty of examples on the Greenfoot site to give you ideas. We will have a “show and tell” session in your first lesson in which you can demonstrate and talk about your program. DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY Visit one of the following: Design Museum: www.designmuseum.org V&A Museum: www.vam.ac.uk Speak to people and develop an awareness of products that they like or strongly dislike. September 2014 Entry You will be presenting your example of a ‘good’ design and a ‘bad’ design in one of the first lessons to your classmates in year 12. It can include products, graphical design, music, web design etc. Try to become more design aware by looking through magazines and publications (‘Design Week’, ‘Blueprint’, ‘Creative Review’, ‘Icon’, ‘Stuff’) or by collecting articles of interest from newspapers. Check out https://flipboard.com/section/creative-product-design-b1r6C6 for some good design ideas to flick through. ECONOMICS Economics is (usually) a brand-new subject for all students in year 12. To get off to a good start, you need to start thinking like an economist. Please don’t start by reading The Economist. As the title suggests, it is mainly aimed at economists and those with some knowledge of the subject. I will be happy for you to start reading our classroom copy during year 12! Here are two requirements and four recommendations that will help you. 1. Requirement: using the BBC news website, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/, choose and print three articles published within the last three months, that you think may have something to do with Economics. At least one should be a story about a country other than the UK (you could choose the country whose language you will be studying in September). Bring your print outs to the first Economics lesson. 2. Requirement: watch the Open University’s ’60 second adventures in Economics’. http://www.open.edu/openlearn/society/politics-policy- people/economics/60-second-adventures-economics-the-invisible-hand (the other videos are linked below the first one).There are 6 videos. Watch them all, then re-watch the one that interests you most and write a three line summary of its key points. Bring your summary to the first Economics lesson. 3. Recommendation: ‘The Economics Book’ is a great introduction to many of the ideas and thinkers behind the discipline of Economics. It is available on Amazon for about £11 (only £6.99 on Kindle) or free from the e-book collection of Kent libraries. You can also borrow one of the copies from Room 42. Find an economic thinker whose ideas interest you (or perhaps that you’ve already heard of) and write a paragraph summarising what the book says about your chosen person and their ideas. Bring your paragraph to the first Economics lesson. 4. Recommendation: there are also many accessible paperbacks about Economics that are available very cheaply. Previous students have enjoyed ‘The Undercover Economist’ by Tim Harford and ‘Freakonomics’ by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, or, for a more international approach, September 2014 Entry ‘Poor Economics’ by Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo. You can also borrow a book from the Room 42 library. Write down a) something you enjoyed about the book/an interesting fact you learnt from the book and b) something you’d like to know more about, having read the book.

INSEAD 1 4956 Introduction: Calling Jerry Yang On a fine day in June 2000, Jerry Yang, the co-founder of Yahoo!, arrived in the Paris offices of his company’s French subsidiary. The previous evening, fresh from a conference in London sponsored by Fortune magazine where he was among the star speakers, he had joined in the inaugural bash for Yahoo! France’s new building in an elegant quarter of Paris. Upholstered in Yahoo!’s purple and orange team colors with a soda machine offering free drinks, and five-point yellow stars bearing the names of new employees on the walls, the place evokes a magically perfect American high school, except that the youthful employees work very fast, long and hard. As Yang settled in, a reporter for one of France’s major newspapers, Libération, called to request an interview on a painfully sensitive subject.

  • Claiming Les Halles: Architecture and the Right to the City
    809 Claiming Les Halles: Architecture and the Right to the City ROBERT WEDDLE Drury University In 1985, Jacques Chirac, then mayor of Paris, as- sisted in the inauguration of what seemed at the time the fi nal step in the long and complicated effort to renovate the Les Halles quarter in cen- tral Paris, which for centuries housed the city’s fresh food markets. The day marked, for Chirac, “the fi nal act in the most signifi cant urban opera- tion undertaken in Paris in decades.”1 Others in- volved in the project echoed Chirac’s sense of fi - nality. Three years later, the semi-public company founded to oversee the quarter’s transformation was dissolved; the group’s president, sociologist and politician Christian de la Malène, declared the work at Les Halles completed.2 But de la Malène’s statements were tempered by a recognition of the contingent nature of planning. “Parisians,” he pre- Les Halles, Rue Lescot, 2007 dicted, … have not only appointed themselves censors of But the efforts of Delanöe, as well as the designs the project; they will in a thousand ways be the of Mangin and others, have been subjected to dynamic creators of tomorrow.
