Congratulations
on accepting the Holy Cross Science challenge!
Understanding and communicating science
The first part of your challenge is outlined below
Have a look at the following science related articles;
1. Earths lowly rumble 2. Clearing up oil spillls
3. Attacking asthma 4. Mice smell fear!
5. Fingerprint evidence 6. How much do babies know?
7. Slip sliming away 8. Lonely tortoise
9.Putting the squeeze on toothpaste
Now read through the article that interests you most
Write a summary of the article that you could present to a younger student ( Year 7) so that they could understand it. You should add;
extra information
diagrams
pictures
and a glossary to explain new words
There are some key questions after each article to help you include key points when you write your summary and also some links to websites with more information. You can also ask a question on the discussion page to get extra help / compare ideas with other students.
REMEMBER – You will need to e mail your finished work to your teacher
