Climate change debate: You will have one of two topics to debate: 1. The government should ban the use of all fossil fuels. Fossils Fuel – Yuka affirmative - Isabelle negative 2. Enhanced Global warming and the hole in the ozone layer are both myths. Global Warming – Bec affirmative -Emily B negative

Your debate MUST include discussion on both scientific and economic issues.

Teams: Isabelle Woodforde: Emily A, Eloise, Amelia B, Heidi, Lauren Beck Long: Sophie, Sara, Ellie, Emma C, Charlotte Emma Walters:Emily B, Caitlin, Amelia S, Chrissie, Mia Yuka: Emma I, Isabella O, Emma S, Lizzie

The debates will take place either Tuesday or Friday. This depends on the weather for our global warming prac. On the day of the debate I will draw out of a hat, which debate you will be be in and whether your team will be affirmative or negative. You will then have 10 minutes to prepare your debate (so your research on Monday is important).

Results: Evaporating Soft Drink 24th September

Well done today girls.

Class average was 3g sugar/20mL lemonade (we did not include the 2 outliers). Therefore there is 187.5 g of sugar in a bottle.

The bottle says there is 11g/100mL which means 137.5 g of sugar in a bottle.

How do you explain the difference????? Use the discussion page for your ideas.
