Todays goals:
Create a blog/page that is useful for students for our year 7 unit on cells.
Provide them with interesting and inspiring material to interact with in this unit of study, whilst providing upto date information relating to general science in the public.

I want to blog - I need to for the Big Experience (Tim will be happy!).
But I’m also involved in an action research group at school with a focus on literacy, engagement and choice. So blogging could be a cool way to do this - I’m after ideas!
