Kia ora 7F2 students. Welcome back to Term 2.
We will be working on our Science Fair Project for the whole of Term 2. This will need to be done at home, in class we will learn about the scientific method. Your Science Fair Project will also be your first assessment in Science this year.
This week please refer to Google Classroom "2020 Science Fair Resource Page" where all the information you need will be found. You need to choose a topic you are interested in and then formulate a question you would like to investigate.
