How to use this document:

Record your learning into this document by filling in the slides or adding to the notes section below
each slide. You can add more slides wherever you like!
There are several learning objectives spread throughout this document - by filling in each slide, you
are working towards meeting these objectives
Your notes need to be thorough, easy to understand and in your own words! (not copied and pasted
off the internet)
Every so often you will find a task slide - you must complete this task by the due date posted on
google classroom - you will use the notes you make in your slides to help you complete these tasks!
You will have weekly progress checks done by your teacher to make sure your notes and tasks are
up to date
Your learning can come from anywhere - the internet, scipad, education perfect (I recommend
incorporating information from all three sources into this document) - scipad answers are here if
you would like to use them to check your own answers, or to write better ones than in the book!
You will be working on this document in class time and for homework

Key words list
