Due to timetabling constraints, some classes in Year 7 have two Science teachers. Each teacher will teach a different topic to ensure continuity with each member of staff. If this is the case, the assessment dates will be slightly different but all other details will remain the same.
Knowledge organisers for all topics are available here: https://stmaryshightyldesley-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/j_connell_st-maryshigh_wigan_sch_uk/EueF6RR0269CjQtFPhh7490B9o0yeEfKsFKvg2ICETtNqQ?e=qfsfTS
Students are also given a revision guide in Year 7.
