Course Overview for Term 5

What are we going to do in Term 5? We will continue working with the Science Explorer series books. The book will change to: Chemical Interactions

What are we going to do in Term 5? The Homework will continue to be marked on completion. I will be much more strict on homework hand in dates. Some people are leaving homework incomplete for far too long and expecting it to be marked.

What are we going to do in Term 5? All of the important dates are marked in the assignment packet. The assignment packet is available online on my website. www.cdsphysics.weebly.com
