STAGE+3+INVESTIGATIONS

In either case you need to present your investigation in a formal organised manner i.e. it must include all of the following elements: Aim, Background research and information, Hypothesis, Materials, Method, Results and Conclusion.
 * TASK**: You are to design, plan and carry out a **scientific** investigation into any topic of your choice. You may work independently, with a partner or in a group with a maximum size of 3.

I will prepare a folder on the school network with possible starter investigations to provide you with ideas, and you will be given class time to carry out your investigation (if they are able to be done in class).

You **must** check your ideas with me before you begin and you need to hand in a brief **written** outline of your investigation by **week 5** for me to check.

You will need to present your investigation on a cardboard to be displayed in the Hall in **week 10** of Term 3.

Please see me with any ideas or questions you might have. You can also email me at anjali.chandrasekar-rao@det.nsw.edu.au if you cannot find me at school.

Here are some ideas to get you started ..........
