There have been a few minor bumps along the way but on the whole everything is going very well. In this newsletter you will read about some of the exciting work that has been going on at home and it is wonderful to see teachers and students adapting to the new reality and creating lessons that are as interesting and enjoyable as ever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our Year 11, 12 and 13 students are busily working with their teachers to collect evidence to support the forecast grades; these will be given to the Cambridge Examination Board in the absence of traditional exams this year. No one can deny that it\u2019s a stressful time especially for those students who have worked hard with the exams as a clear target in their line of sight. However, I have been impressed with the way that our students have accepted and adapted to the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Year 12 online learning will resume on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> May when students will commence A2 studies. Discussions are taking place at the moment about what we can provide for our Year 11 students. There is time available before the end of term 3 which we will make use of to continue the learning paths that the students are on. More news about that in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some news from last term! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the lockdown we were unable to have our traditional celebration assembly.

During the MCO, this is somewhat of a challenge. However, Mr Baxter\u2019s Year 9 classes have been investigating some techniques used by Forensic Scientists when they analyse crime scenes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-secondary-25-04-2020\/science-blood\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12823\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/science-blood-1024x330.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/science-blood-1024x330.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/science-blood-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/science-blood-768x247.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/science-blood-255x82.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/science-blood.jpg 1596w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of these techniques is to study the size and shape of blood splatters, a grisly but effective technique that reveals important information about where and how the blood arrives at different points around the crime scene. The students used fake blood (often tomato ketchup) and dropped or flicked it from different heights to investigate the relationship between the height and the size of the blood splatter. Hopefully no one walked in the room as this was happening and thought a gruesome crime had been committed!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-secondary-25-04-2020\/sc3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12808\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"454\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC3.jpg 454w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC3-255x340.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another technique used by Forensic Scientists is chromatography. Although in the lab filter paper is usually used, the students used tissue paper and different solutions that they found in the kitchen. One way scientists use this is to analyse the ink or dye found at a crime scene, or finding it which pen was used to write a ransom note.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Separating mixtures is a process that has many real world applications, including obtaining safe drinking water which is one of the most valuable resources we have to combat disease and maintain health. The Year 9 students got creative with the mixtures that they separated and produced some excellent results. The experience of using limited equipment and resources to obtain good scientific results will stand them in good stead when they return to doing science in the school laboratories.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-secondary-25-04-2020\/sc4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12809\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"807\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC4.jpg 807w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC4-255x191.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In their study of A-Level Physics, students are required to produce results that have high precision and accuracy. However, this does not always mean having expensive technical equipment. Sometimes a methodical and careful approach can yield excellent results. In this experiment, students were asked to find a value for \u2018g\u2019, the acceleration due to gravity. This is known to be 9.81 m s<sup>-2<\/sup>, and students were trying to find this result to the greatest degree of accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>One method used by students was to drop a ball and time how long it took to reach the floor from various heights. Some choose to do this in their homes, while others dropped a ball from their balcony. Although the greater height might have reduced the uncertainty in their timings, the effect of air resistance as the ball fell through a greater height being more of a factor. Other students used a more high-tech approach, by videoing the ball falling on their phones. When they slowed down the footage, they could use the frame rate of their camera to determine a very accurate measurement of the time taken.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-secondary-25-04-2020\/drop-ball\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12822\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drop-ball.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"886\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drop-ball.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drop-ball-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drop-ball-255x114.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of their approach to data collection, the students all used laws that Newton developed from Gallileo\u2019s ideas (who legend has it investigated this by dropping balls from the leaning Tower of Pisa) to analyse their results. \u00a0The most accurate result was obtained by Peter, whose result was only 1% higher than the accepted value.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-secondary-25-04-2020\/sc7\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12812\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"487\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC7.jpg 487w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC7-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SC7-255x175.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Year 8: War Poetry&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Rubik%20One%3A400|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_column_text]Year 8 students have been studying War Poetry and gaining an understanding of poetic techniques.
