Monday, 12/13

Math:  Review problems assigned from Block 3 Review in the Math Book.  You can access the math book online using the link at the right if you don't have yours at home.  I only assigned about 13 problems, so do them carefully.  They match what will be tested Wednesday.  Tuesday is Game Day Prep during class.  Students will rotate and compete in teams to review skills for the test.

Science:  Watched a 23 minute video, played with the online link about solids, liquids, gases (see Friday's post) and took a quiz on the 3 states of matter, their properties and characteristics, and the movement of the molecules.
