CTEC Business Level 3 Tasks

The first unit of this course is called the business environment. You will develop a strong understanding of the business world, it’s different sectors and different forms of ownership.

Therefore completing the tasks below will really help prepare you for study.

Task One

Visit https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house .

Companies House will tell you what type of ownership a business has registered itself as.

Choose four different businesses and see if you can find out what type of business they are registered as.

Task Two

Can you find clear definitions for the following terms;

  • Private Limited Company.
  • Public Limited Company.
  • Sole Trader.
  • Franchise.

Task Three

Do some research in to businesses that have ceased trading recently. What was the reason/s for the business failing?

Was it due to Covid 19 and lockdown restrictions, or was the business already struggling before the Pandemic?

Task Four

If you have a part time job, do some research in to the business. What type of business are they registered as? How many staff members do the employ? How many years have they been trading for and who is their main competitors? Using your part time employment can be a really useful example throughout this course.

A Level Film Studies worksheet.

Choose a product from around the house and produce a product analysis on it. You should use ACCESSFM to help you to analysis the product. You should aim to write a paragraph for each section. See link below to help.

Dismantle a product at home—ASK YOUR PARNETS FIRST!!! Take photos and record your findings

 

 

Research into ICT in manufacturing. Was JIT and automation? Research into CAD CAM. What do they mean—what are positive and negative points?

 

 

Revise into the following production methods.

One off—mass—batch –continuous

 

I would like you to give a definition and a product example for each method. Picture may also help you remember this for future revision task.

Write 250 words on what makes a good product.

 

 

Revise and make notes relating to QA, QC, tolerance and manufacturing specifications—what are they?

 

 

Describe the role of a designer and the impact the products they make can have on society

 

Research and record the following design movements:

Art Deco-Art Nouveau-De Stijl Modernism-Bauhaus-Memphis

 

Find examples of their work and give an honest opinion of whether you like it or not.

 

Design a new product that will help keep people safe from COVID-19. Your design should be rendered and annotated. To make it better you could attempt to draw this isometrically or 3rd Angle Orthographic.

When planning to study Geography at A level your learning from GCSE is your foundation to build on. When you start the A level Geography course we will begin with Topic 1: Earth Life Support Systems.

This topic forms the basis of study for much of the rest of the course as you progress through your 2 year A level.

In topic 1 you will learn about natural systems that keep Earth habitable for life and the important components of those systems, in particular those which help to regulated climate. These include oceans, key ecosystems like tropical rainforests and Arctic ice and glaciers.

Later topics in the course will include glaciations and oceans and in depth study of climate change which looks at how all these different Earth life support systems are being impacted by human activity.

To help you get a head start useful topics to revise from GCSE Geography would include;-

  • The water cycle
  • Tropical rainforests
  • Glaciation
  • Global warming and human impacts
  • Tectonics

As part of your A level you will be required to complete an independent investigation into a chosen topic based on practical fieldwork. This coursework counts for 20% of the total mark towards your final A level grade.

This means that practical geographical skills are an essential of the course including map work and interpretation of data. These skills will underpin much of geographical studies and be essential for your coursework.

It would be very useful for you to ‘brush up’ on some of these skills before your start in September.

Some taster tasks to help you prepare for some of these topics are suggested below;

Topic Tasks

 

Water Cycle Google the water cycle and identify the main ways that water moves between the atmosphere, biosphere (living things), hydrosphere (surface water such as rivers & oceans) and lithosphere (rocks)

Put the ways you have identified into 4 categories: Inputs of water, Outputs of water, Stores of water, Transfers or flows of water

Draw a simple flow diagram: INPUTS _ STORES_FLOWS_OUTPUTS

 

Global Warming Watch David Attenborough’s recent BBC programme on the iplayer-“Climate change: The Facts” www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00049b1/climate-change-the-facts

The programme is divided into 3 parts; causes, impacts, solution

Make a table as below to briefly summarise the main points under the following headings:

Causes Impacts  

Solutions 

 

Tropical Rainforest

 

 

Look at the picture of the rainforest in Sarawak, Malaysia and read the article. Complete Activities 1 and 2.

Look at the climate data for London and Sarawak. Using graph paper draw a climate graph for each of the 2 locations. Put months along the bottom x axis (Jan – Dec). You will need 2 y axis (left and right). Make one of these for rainfall and the other max temperature. For each month do rainfall as vertical bars and temperature as a point. Then join all the points to make a single line for the year.

Compare the results and describe the differences.

 

Glaciation Look at the photo and map of the Fox glacier in New Zealand.

Use the contour heights to find; a) the attitude of the top of the glacier and b) the height of Mount Garnier.

Give the 6 figure grid reference of Mount Garnier.

Print the map and draw a straight line with a ruler from the top of the Fox glacier to the bottom. Where the contours cross your line identify the approximate height at each point. You will then have a line showing the slope (long profile) of the glacier from top to bottom.

On a sheet of graph paper (or using an excel spreadsheet) plot the long profile as a graph in the same way you would plot a cross section. The bottom x axis is distance and the y axis is height. Use the information sheets to help you do this.

 

 

To prepare you for A Level physics why not try some online lessons that are designed specifically to help you bridge the gap from your GCSEs to A level.
