• dark
• wet

2. W.U. Interpreting graphs #2 and #3
3. Textbooks

H.W. Outline chapter 1: Sections 1.1-1.2 using the format found in this document (click on the word "document" to open).  In a nutshell this is basically a cornell note taking style (you may or may not be familiar with this).  You can print the document and write your notes directly on there or you may follow the format using your own paper.  Try your best and email me if you have any questions.
AND
If you did not do so in class today, you must cover your textbook tonight with a brown paper bag and bring your covered book back to school to show me.  No, a picture is not sufficient.  I want to physically see your wrapping skills.

H.W. Bring a brown grocery bag to class tomorrow.  Also bring your ID card or blue schedule.  We're getting our Biology textbooks tomorrow and will be having a book wrapping party in class.  Forgot how to cover a text book?  Watch the video below:
