Bioscience 2 August 25th

Hi, You should all now be well embarked on the Nervous System Unit. I have not had any particular feedback on it except people saying "My, Goodness! It is long!" It is, of course, with 3 separate parts and lots of new words and concepts. However, hopefully when you have put all those distractions aside, have no more excuses and have sat down and studied it, it is making sense.

A website which you could find helpful - and fun- is http://www.howjsay.com/ Just type in a word you dont know how to pronounce and it is spoken for you clearly. I tried it with adrenocorticotropic, mnemonic and epinephrine and it seemed great. With tomato it gave both English and American prononciations!

The next block course is at the end of next week with a test and practical class on Friday September 5th. The timetable will have moved you on to the Endocrine System on the Monday before that but the test will only be on the units you have completed. ie Introducton to Human Systems, The Cell and Tissues and the Nervous System. It will be a 1 hour test worth 15 marks and it will be quite helpful to have done the excercises in the Worksheets!!!!

Have a good week,

Cheers Ruth
