Scheme of Work for the Junior Cycle Common Level Science Weekly Grinds Sessions [for 2nd & 3rd year students]
Please note the following important points:
**All students must bring their own natural display calculator, formulae & tables log book, maths set and Science materials + 1A4 manuscript notes copy**
**Unfortunately sharing of equipment cannot be allowed due to the current health & safety guidelines so students must come prepared with their own materials**
Finally, EXTRA NOTES will be published each week on Edmodo for students to be able to study supplement course material at their own leisure outside of our tuition sessions. We would ask all members to use these digital classrooms platforms on a weekly basis to maximise their overall grade.
