Remember to do all the lessons in Flocabulary except for Lyrics Lab. Don’t forget to answer the questions on the Google Form.

On line simulation is also an assignment based on Energy. Do all 5 sequences and then answer the questions on the Word Doc provided. Once again all review and should not be too hard.http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/science/virtual_labs/E04/E04.html

Doing a little bit each day will keep your Science mind razor sharp. Even if it is a little at a time, its important to keep our minds learning and practicing.
