October 25th-29th

On Monday, students will take a major exam on chapters 15-16--the questions on the test are on the previous post. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when I put the test off for a day...I wonder why! They will also view a slide show about Copernicus and Galilleo. On Wednesday, students will be working all day out of the Green Palmer Colton Text. On Friday, the film Newton's Dark Secrets will also be shown.
