For week 12:

1. First describe the subjects of your study (who they are and where they are from – no need to name the school, just the district and zone).

2. Describe what the pupils could and could not do before and after the intervention of your action research in science.

For week 13:

What intervention strategies worked and what did not work? Why?

What actions would you plan and implement or try the next time around? Why?

[Please submit evidences of your pupils' work with your comments next week.]
