    Wet & Wild

    Big Ideas: In Science, we will be focussing on the Material World strand and looking at Sustainability issues from the lens of chemistry.  We would be exploring substances that we use at home and their properties. We will investigate how rates of decomposition and disintegration and how this affects our environment.
