This sheet was given to you on Thursday 29th or Friday 30th September
The first night of the homework project is Monday 2nd October
The hand in is P6 on Monday 9th October
You are expected to pop in to the library at any time during the week.
Those of you who pop in at the start of the week when you are researching your task will probably find it most useful.
The pages below could help you to decide what to research about your chosen area of environmental protection. On each page are some key ideas, some links and some articles from Catalyst Magazine. They are just ideas - you can cover any aspect of your choosing if you wish. Just make sure you have enough information that it is interesting and relevant, and suitable for your audience - other Year 9 students. Remember to read the instructions to make sure you have done the right thing. Ask any of your science teachers if you aren't sure.
