Grade 8/9

The following potential topics are taken directly from the new PHE curriculum for BC.  Look through the options for topics in your grade level.  Discuss things that confuse or interest you with Ms. Hobbs, Mr. Benty and/or Mr. Badenoch.  These topics are VERY broad. You will have to do some thinking to find a more narrow topic.

 

                                    Which of these topics seems worthy of further research to you? 

                                   Which of these topics is connected to your life somehow right now?
