Summary

Today we will be finishing off for the year, as this will be your last year 7 Science lesson before the new timetable starts! Answer the following in your books:

1. What have you enjoyed about Science this year?
2. What would you have liked to change?
3. What do you feel you've got better at doing?
4. What are you most excited for about next year?
5. The last thing to do - and this is very important - is to try and find an activity or game that has something to do with Science from this year. It could be anything that you're interested in or even something that we haven't looked at in class - it just has to be related to Science! Send me the link if you find a good one, there will be achievement points for good resources.
