Science: Today we went over the expectations for writing GREAT short answers in science class. These guidelines should be followed for every assignment students complete in science this year (and every class all the time!). Homework is to complete the "Scientific Processes" worksheet, be sure to write great short answers!

Some suggestions for preparing for the test include doing the review at the end of the chapter or doing some of the problems in whatever section students found most difficult. When using the book it would be helpful to do odd number problems so that students can check their answers in the back.
