      Opened: Monday, 10 June 2024, 8:00 AM
      Due: Thursday, 20 June 2024, 4:00 PM

      Science and Maths will work together to investigate Cells, Chromosomes, DNA and variation. The students will gather 3 different sets of data using 

      • Modelling, 

      • Scientific testing and 

      • Analysing and exploring. 

      Maths will use some of this data to graph and draw conclusions, as well as to statistically predict outcomes  



    • Assignment icon

      You will work as a group to plan and carry out three investigations that look at different food groups and the energy they contain. You will be carrying out three different scientific investigative approaches and use the dat collection to draw conclusions about your BIG QUESTION
