The key to preparing young children for these is exams is routine. Ensure that each day your child gets into the habit of looking over past paper questions and doing exercises, even if it is just 30min each day. Then perhaps look at spending more time on this over the weekends. This routine will help your child feel accomplished and will motivate them to want to do well! Positivity is my next piece of advice. Pressure at such a young age can be hard on any child, but rewarding them when they do well will encourage them to try even more. Starting preparation for these exams early will help take the pressure off. Feel free to message me if you need any more advice with this, I have helped prep students for the 11+ exams.

Could someone please give me tips on how (and what) to prepare a child for the 7+ exams for one of the top London independent schools

Using the periodic table, you can calculate the relative formula mass. The atomic weight is the lower number on each chemical. Fe has a mass of 56, S a mass of 32 and O a mass of 16. As there are four oxygens present in this compound, you multiply 16 by 4 to get 64. Lastly you add all these separate masses together, which gives a total relative mass of 152.

How do you calculate the relative mass of FeSO4?

An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element. It is made up of a central positive nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and is surrounded by shells of negative electrons.

Hi there! I study Pharmacy and am very happy to answer any questions you have about the course or career prospects. There are lots of alternatives to a 'medicine degree', and lots of ways you can train to be a healthcare professional that doesn't involve this course. 

Applying for Medicine

What are great alternative courses to choose which are similar to medicine?

A very large amount - 99% of the whole genome! This suggests a very high similarity 🐒 

Biology

How much of our DNA is identical to the DNA of a chimp?

 A mutation is a random change in the genetic sequence of DNA. Examples of such mutations include point mutation (such as addition or deletion of bases).
Errors in DNA replication can actually cause these mutations.
If a mutated sequence is then replicated, this could cause incorrect proteins to be made (due to errors in the primary sequence). 

How does mutation affect DNA replication?

What stain is used to stain endospores?

When I studies history I found making lots of flashcards helped the most when learning dates of events. Put the date on one side and the event on the other side.
To learn more details about historic events, I recommend watching YouTube videos and making mind maps or using a note taking style that works for you.
Finally, practise practise practise!! Draft out answers to questions, even if it's just bullet pointing key events. You can then compare these to markschemes or check them between peers.

The key points to this question are pollution, over population and exploitation. These are all, of course, negative impacts. You could also explore the positive impacts of humans of species diversity, such as preservation through SSSI's (special sites of scientific interest) as well as conservation schemes.
In further detail, pollutation such as oil spoils can drastically effect aquatic diversity. Habitat loss can also be caused by over population, as deforestation occurs to provide more space for housing. Furthermore, exploitation of natural species and wildlife can occur in heavy tourist populations.
