Print out any information you would like to bring to school to use tomorrow afternoon when we work on our projects.

Think creatively about how you are going to share your group's research.
- Is there an experiment you can do to demonstrate part of your learning?
- Could you make a model of something related to your topic?
- Are you going to use a poster, a powerpoint presentation, a short film or a song to present?
