Climate change Assessment

All students in year 11 have started an internal research assignment into Climate Change this week. This Achievement Standard is worth 2 credits and can be endorsed with Achieved, Merit or Excellence. The resource booklet can be accessed below. Students have six questions to answer regarding Climate Change in order to gather information for the final report writing session next week. Try to gather as much information as possible this weekend and remember that all resources need to be photocopied and information used must be highlighted and referenced.
