Here are the STEPS you need to follow to complete this 6 week project.
Ideas and evidence
• Discuss
the importance of developing empirical questions which can
be
investigated, collecting evidence, developing explanations and
using
creative thinking.
• Test predictions with reference to evidence gained.
Plan investigative work
• Select
ideas and turn them into a form that can be tested.
• Plan
investigations to test ideas.
• Identify
important variables; choose which variables to change,
control and
measure.
• Make predictions using scientific knowledge and understanding.
Obtain and present evidence
• Take
appropriately accurate measurements.
• Use a
range of equipment correctly.
• Discuss
and control risks to themselves and others.
• Present results as appropriate in tables and graphs.
Consider evidence and approach
• Make
simple calculations.
• Identify
trends and patterns in results (correlations).
• Compare
results with predictions.
• Identify
anomalous results and suggest improvements to
investigations.
• Interpret
data from secondary sources.
• Discuss
explanations for results using scientific knowledge and
understanding.
Communicate
these clearly to others.
• Present conclusions to others in appropriate ways.

Due to Holi holiday on March 21 and Science excursion on March 28, the Web Quest is NOW DUE Monday April 4.
Mr A
Feb 28 Update
You should be doing TASK 2 today and TASK 3 next Monday, March 7. I won't be here Monday March 14.
You all have been assigned as an engineer researching two energy sources, one renewable and one non-renewable.
Now your group needs to put all 8 energy resources into a presentation.
