Ophiura specimens on the beach in Portugal

 Check out this video made by Paula Flores (E1B) of various ophiura specimens on the beach in Portugal. Ophiura are echinoderms closely related to starfish. They have 5 long, thin arms and a small, central body. The species in the video is most likely to be Ophiura albida often found in the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
 Thanks Paula for sending this video to Science Magazine so we can all see an ophiura.

SCIENCE RESIT EXAM ESO 2

The science E2 resit exam is on the 16th January. You must revise units 1,2,3 and 4. I recommend that you concentrate on the summaries in the text book that appear under the title "What should you know". These will you help you revise the basic concepts to pass.

 For extra knowledge, read the units in the book and the notes in your notebooks. Some of the activities we have done will help you too. You will find the information we have organised in tables and diagrams also useful for revision, for example, "Components and functions of biomolecules".

Good luck!
