Formal Assessment

Kia ora Ladies

I have set an assignment on Google Classroom that you will need to work through in your own time.  This is the workbook that pulls all of your Water analysis, report writing, Mathematics together in to one piece.  You can find this in your email now.

This needs to be submitted by the end of this term.  Keep working away steadily and aim to do set pages each day/couple of days to ensure that you get through it all in time.  Those that don't will need to attend 'Holiday School' to complete it!

Remember from this we will be assessing you against the JCEA (year 10) credits as well as NCEA (Year 11) credits.

I am ever only an email away - so contact me if you need support!

Key Question Two - Work booklet

PREPARATION FOR THIS WEEKS FIELD TRIP

This Thursday you will be heading out on a bus to visit three different sites on two local rivers to do your water sampling.  It is important that you are prepared and understand the different tests that you will be administering on the day.

Copies of the initial water testing methods you worked on in groups can be found here:

Water Testing Resources

You will need to ensure that you check these presentations against the information provided in the water testing kits - remember that these were prepared by you - students and that there may be important information missing.

Create your own guide for the tests that you will be conducting.

For each test you must have:

*  Aim - what does this test find out about?

*  Explanation of test

*  Step by step method - anyone should be able to pick up your information sheet and follow it

*  Space for results to be recorded

*  Hypothesis - What do you think you will find in the Utuhina Stream?

*  Reflective questions

You must have a good understanding of what each of these tests mean - investigate further what you would expect to find in a healthy stream.

Here is the student workbook that you will need to use to collect evidence towards your assessment for this unit of work.
