Year 9 Project Homework 3
As you were told at the start of this term you will be
having an exam on ALL of the work you have studied
in Science in years 7,8 and 9.
This homework is to help you with your revision.
On the next 13 slides are details of what you have
studied for each topic and websites to help you.
The exam will be on Friday 22nd May during your
Science lesson.
Make sure you have everything you may need:
pen, pencil, ruler, rubber, calculator, protractor.
Revision Tips!
Revise for small periods of time.
Chose a topic, read through your notes in your
pink exercise book or the pages on BBC Bitesize.
Then get someone to test you or have a go at the
end of topic test on BBC Bitesize.
A lot of the BBC Bitesize topics have short videos
and cartoons to help you understand key points.
Ask your teacher for help where you find points
difficult to understand.
