'Surfing' sally says, "We will add a series of challenges here which will require you to do some real investigation to find answers and come up with your own solutions and proposals. My real challenge is staying awake! Perhaps I should do my own investigation into how I can learn to go to bed early at night."

These are challenges designed by teachers that will have you investigating Australia's climate and aspects of history, geography, society and environment and the sciences. Are you up to them? Your teacher may help decide which ones are most appropriate for you to be able to do.

In some cases, you will need to do research on the Internet - some web sites will be provided to get you started, and the teacher may provide some more, or allow you to search for information. You are welcome to send in your work from these challenges by email attachment or ask for a password to have them put on a web page at this site for others to see. Have fun! If you have any suggestions for challenges that could go here, then please make contact and let us know!
