Webquest: Class Introduction

I left my worksheet in class - how do I get another copy?

I need to study for the test - what should I review?

What is my grade?

What was our homework?

You can find all these answers on my web site, but where are they? Web sites are powerful tools - only if you know how to access all the resources.

In this class you will be expected to use my class website. This webquest will help you "surf" my site.

2. Collect your blue lab observation sheet from Friday's lab today at lunch.
3. Tomorrow you will have your test on Chapters 1 and 2. This test is basically a book test, so make sure you study your homework and the reading. This first test is the easiest test of the year so please study so you can start the year with a great test grade. There will be a few short answer questions from our density labs, so please review how to solve for density and thickness of Al foil.
4. Your homework packet will be due tomorrow. Your blue homework list will be your coversheet and all your homework needs to be stapled (in order behind your coversheet). You also need to staple all the pages of your reading guide that were assigned (pages 1, 6, 7, and all of chapter 2).
