POLLUTION UNIT

This unit has been designed to make use of ICT in the Learning Resources Centre in the library wherever possible. Students should be encouraged to use a wide range of resources to complete the tasks within the unit.

The unit will incorporate five double lessons and 2/3 single lessons (2.5 weeks) due to the length of the summer term.
The lessons (worksheets and homework sheets) will be colour coded, as each lesson is stand-alone and therefore can be taught in any order except for lesson 1 (Yellow)

The unit test is to be sat at the end of 2 units as the rest of the year.
