Biodiversity work

Apologies for not being in the lesson yesterday, I have been really ill and didn't want to pass on my horrible virus!

I have put loads of work to do on kerboodle- summarising the classification topic, a podcast about biodiversity and some other activities to work through. I have also put spares of the exam-style qs on there in case you lose them. There are some test-yourself questions on kerboodle aswell.

It should tell you which activities to print out to return to me and which ones I will mark electronically. If you download the resources and complete them electronically you can email them to me to save you printing them (rti@cheney.oxon.sch.uk)

On tuesday we will be practising calculations of species diversity index- a common exam q in unit 2.
bring a calculator as I dont have that many spare.

Remember thursday to bring your homework for peer-assessment and to prepare for revision lessons.

thanks
Ms Timms
