March 5 - 9 tentative schedule

This will be a short and sweet schedule.
Over the course of the week, the rest of Chapter 2 will be covered as well as review of some of the material. Timing will depend on what the students grasped last week and what they are still struggling with. There will be a test covering Chapter 2 and the steps of the experiment again sometime next week so students should start reviewing the material now. I will not be providing retakes.

Homework for the week
: Vocabulary from the rest of the chapter; assigned when we read the section. If we start a worksheet in class over a section and it does not get finished in class it will become the responsibility of the student to finish it for homework so that we can cover it the next day quickly.

Monday:
1. Pass in the weather charts if not done so. Was due last Friday but have postponed due date to today.
2. Pass in the packet that contains Chapter 2 sections 1, 2, and 3 (staple them together before passing in if this was not done last Tuesday).
3. If needed, go over any questions over sections 2 and 3. Answer review questions.
4. Continue with items started Friday in class located on the moodle.

Tuesday - Friday:
Continue with Chapter 2
Worksheets over the rest of the sections.
