In this video we are going to look at how we work out whether a number is in sequence or not. We looked at finding the nth term rule, generating sequences from it and finding terms in a sequence from the nth term rule in part 1. Is 730 a term in the sequence 3n + 11? 730 isn’t the term, so we cannot substitute it in for n. We have to make the nth term rule equal to 730. 3n + 11 = 730, and then solve for 'n'. n = 239.7. Because n has come out as a decimal place, it means 730 is not in the sequence. Looking at another example: Is 265 a term in the sequence 4n + 5? Again, solve for n by solving this equation: 4n + 5 = 265. n = 65. Because 65 is a whole number it means that 265 is in the sequence. 265 is the 65th term in the sequence.

Gregor Mendel came up with the correct hypothesis for how inheritance of traits works. Mendel published his ideas in 1866, but it took until the 1900’s for his ideas to be recognised. In this video we represent Mendel's work using genetic crosses. VISIT us at www.fuseschool.org, where all of our v

All living organisms are made up of cells - they are the basic building blocks of life. There are two important categories of cells: plant cells and animal cells. In this video we look at animal cells in more detail. Animal cells are the type of cell that make up our bodies... and the bodies of al
