Go through your notes and resources on Edmodo, watch one or both recap videos and then attempt all the questions below. It would be good practice to time yourself answering the questions; you should aim to answer them in all around 30 mins (with allowances for those that require extra time). Don't worry for now if you're unable to answer them all within that time, but it is something to be working towards.

You need to ensure that pages 74-77 of your workbooks are completed. Most of you will have already completed 74-76 in class, but if you didn't - or want to add more detail - here's your chance.

The first video is a short recap, the second is a longer and more detailed walk-through of the study.
A bit of a diversion from your home study, behavioural geneticist Dr. Mike Galsworthy offers his view on the psychology behind the government's new 'Stay Alert' message. I know some of you are looking at careers in marketing and business, so understanding the psychology and meanings behind slogans might be of interest to you.

For GCSE, we need to understand how we can use the holism vs reductionism debate to evaluate studies and theories such as Social Rank Theory.

You need to compete p68-70 of your workbooks. As most of you don't have textbooks, you may need to do a bit of online research to help you, alongside using your notes and the Powerpoint on Edmodo. A useful link is here: https://www.simplypsychology.org/reductionism-holism.html and there are some videos below that may help you also. Enjoy!
