The following activity is an activation assignment. This must be
completed and sent to your instructor before you can register in the course. It will be worth 5% of
your total mark.The questions in this quiz are based on knowledge introduced in Science 7 - 9, and
reviewed and expanded on in Science 10. Before you begin you should have access to a good dictionary,
either online or in hand. There are links to some recommended websites where you can review the
concepts as you complete this assignment. If you quit before you have completed all the questions
your partial assignment will be automatically submitted, so make sure you have 1 to 2 hours set aside
to complete this before you begin.
