homework due NOW


Your homework is due to be marked this week. I am intending to show your blog to your parents at the interviews in week 10, so if you have not completed each week's task, hurry up and finish it. I can tell if you have cut and pasted from someone else's blog - I have been reading them each week. You will get an A or A+ if you have followed each week's task, and if you have used your own words, hyperlinks and images. You have a week to catch up - GO!

Here is an interesting experiment - a can can hold around 50kg before it collapses; this is due to its cylindrical shape. Check out this experiment!
