This contract will begin from Monday of Week 2 and officially end in Week 9. I suggest you start early as the end of term gets very busy. There will be no homework
presentations allowed in Week 10. You are required to answer 7 questions and you will need to KEEP ON TOP of your homework. This gives you one pass week.
Present your homework on your nominated day. No more doubling up on presentations as each session is already full. Talk to me early if you are having difficulties.
This term should see you really exploring ideas about science and its place in our world. Lunchtimes are often available if you want to work on a laptop for your
contract. You can hand it in the appropriate question in Google classroom or you can present in class or both.
Keep track of your work. Bring this sheet each week.
