Homeworks/Practicals Homeworks, whether big or small are expected to

be presented at the beginning of every lesson. A ‘one day grace’ is usually allowed, in which the

homework is to be presented by the following morning (before the first bell rings)

Failure to do so will be put down on my register, and on the school register as missing homework

Failure to present Practicals will mean one mark less in your MATSEC exam.

Topics to be covered Circulation and Blood Breathing Biochemistry and Digestion Photosynthesis Excretion and Osmoregulation.
