Matters Discussed: Topic for SIA, Time Plan, Proposal
1. Topic for SIA
1.1 We looked through many possible topics, such as water pollution and air pollution, but none of these topics had much related to Physics, and it would be hard to base our Assessment on them. Moreover, the rubrics for the Assessment stated that the Physics aspect of our topic had to be mentioned in the textbook, and hence the above potential topics, amongst others, were not ideal.
1.2 Finally, we decided on global warming after chancing upon the chapter on infra-red radiation and heat waves in the Physics textbook. We unanimously agreed on the topic: global warming and the greenhouse effect.

2. Proposal
2.1 Stella offered to create a draft of the proposal as she would have more time—her CCA is only on Tuesdays.
2.2 Stella would then send the completed draft to the rest of the group members via email. All other group members are to access their email inboxes and edit the draft or make changes if needed.

3. Time Plan
3.1 Jennifer offered to draw up a time plan. This is to ensure that we will not have to make last-minute rushes and will be able to safely finish our project before the deadline (possible competition periods and other events, such as OBS, were considered while drawing up the time plan).
