Week+1

Welcome everyone to Week 1 (April 27 to May 1) 29 April, 2009 is the first day of the competition. Things are only just beginning. No clue about the murder yet!

If the students have finished studying the 10 environmental issues, see example below, they should explore the **Investigators' area** of the website, where they can design a team badge and upload their team profile. Teams can complete the team badge and profile from now up until **15 May.** So, make a start now!

Check out the team profiles uploaded by the Junior Mythbusters from Arranounbai School and the Eco Warriors, Georges Hall Public School, NSW. Both have some really good information that alerts us all to the importance of the environment. Don't forget when you are making the team profile, you can add links in the text to relevant websites.

To find teams with completed team profiles, look for icons like the one below:



The Director General of NSW Education and Training makes an appearance in the website. Be sure not to miss it.

There are quizzes and games for students in the Investigators' area. These are designed to reinforce the students' learning about environmental issues. Check out the **'Team of the Day'** in the **Investigators' area**. It could be your team! The students should also explore the MuM09 website and get to know the Case coordinator, Forensic scientist and Crime site investigator. You can download the activity cards from the Resources section in the Teachers' area.


 * NB MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR TEAM BADGE ID AND TEACHER PASSWORD**. These were sent to you via email from catchment HQ. If you cannot find them, please contact catchment.hq@det.nsw.edu.au.
