Practical Components
Obviously go over questions you are yet to complete,
and those sections you found difficult. Complete the
chapter review from the text book chapters we have
been looking at. And the summary questions from the
PDF file.




INVESTIGATION
Investigation this week is 1 x A4 page, hand written
summary notes. (can be double sided). It should be a
concise summary of the work it counts as an
investigation and contributes towards your 25%. Put
some thought and effort into it.

Q/F/O

None this week. Focus on
revision work.
