Element, Compound and Mixture (Diagram PDF)
by Katie WalkerI have created this resource for a year 7 student with Achromatopsia. This diagram enables the student to identify the difference between an element (1 type of atom), a compound (more than 1 atom chemically bonded) and a mixture (more than one substance). I hope this helps with resource helps.
Life Cycle of a frog 1 of 5 (Frog ovum development) (UEB Contracted)
This page with five images illustrates stages in the development of a frog ovum. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The ovum is surrounded by a mass of jelly yolk, which is not shown. The top left of the page shows the zygote stage: a single cell with one nucleus at its centre, indicated by a dot. To the right of this is the cell in the process of division; it now has two nuclei. In the centre left of the page is the four cell stage with four separate cells, each with its own nuclei. Down the page from this the cells have divided again and now number sixteen. The bottom right section of the page shows the blastocyst stage. The cells have divided yet again and have formed a ball with a hollow containing fluid at its centre. There is a scale at the bottom of the page showing its actual size.
