- Corrections
- Mindmap at the back of the worksheet (by Friday, 04.04.2014)
 - Your mindmap should include :  - the different types of materials we learnt
                                                    - what the materials are made up of
                                                    - examples of things around us that are made up of these materials

                                                   
* Leave some space so that you can add on to your mindmap as we learn more about the topic.
* An example has already been done in class.
* You may draw meaningful pictures that will help you remember the facts better. Example: Drawing of aquarium/glass bottle to help remember things that are made up of glass.

Below is an example of how a mindmap should look like:
