Pre-release Resources Part.5

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

I’ve added a wealth of material to the pre-release page, some of which we will be using this week.

I’ve added the usual pre-release PowerPoint, a link to a Teacher’s T.V. video about the future of Antarctica, the Extreme Environments revisions notes (you should have a copy, if not see me), a document about the uses/exploitation of Antarctica and the potential consequences, a PowerPoint about our chosen physical processes and a grade or no grade game. :)

I would particularly look at revising at least one of the physical processes, you should be able to draw and annotate a diagram if asked.
