The collaboration task
Working in ‘mixed’ groups develop the detail of collaboration between science and design & technology for a particular unit of work
Develop a presentation to SLT Describing the collaboration Justifying the collaboration
Make the presentations Start time 15.00 Time pre presentation 5 minutes Slide limit – 6 slides
