Physical Science retake of solution/ph test

Alright, let's do that again!!!
Take a look at chapter 22, complete pages 255-265 in your science notebook. Hand in today or tomorrow. This is your "corrective" and allows you to re-take your test on Friday.
YOU MAY use your fill in the blank/short answer study guides and foldables to guide you through the test.

November 13th we will focus on chapter 2, November 14th we will retake the last test. 11/17 we will begin chapter 3 and have a quiz on chapter 2 concepts. 11/18 we will wrap up chapter 3 concepts. 11/19 we will have a quiz on chapter 3 and review for benchmark on thursday 11-20.

Biology projects

Remember that your genetic disorder ppt. is due next week -Wednesday Nov, 5th ( I gave you a couple of extra days. If you work on this from home and you don't have a flash drive ( or even if you do) please email it to me by Wednesday Morning!!! ( email: ckbradley@gaston.k12.nc.us)

Next project: "Handy Family Tree"This may be completed on you and your family or on a friend or neighbors family if you like.

This project will be due on Monday Novemeber 10th.
