Contemporary issues in science __Why did you choose this subject?__

I chose this subject because it was a new subject that was available for the stage one students at Muirden college during semester 2. It was a subject different from the other subjects that i was currently studying so i thought why not do it. I am happy i chose this subject because i have learnt some new things that i never thought i would learn about in this subject. A highlight of science this year was using the Wiki, Ann set up the semester with a wiki the students were able to share infomation and work over the net. It was effective during our group task because the members of each group could put up what they have finished so everyone knew what they had to do and what had already been done. Another benefit of the Wiki was that if students were away they were able to access the Wiki from home and do study or catchup on work.

here is some work i have done and some things i have learnt this year.

This is a power point i done with Tori and Jarra.



Here is the creative response task we did while learning about plastics and the effects on the world plastics have today.

Captain charles more is a plastic reasearch machine he has done alot of study and research for over 7 years on plastics in the ocean and the effects of plastics on the world today. A fact i learnt was that there is approximately 46,000 plastic pieces in around a square mile of ocean, 10 to 1 times more plastic than sea life.
