Biology students not on field trip - work on projects. Projects will be due NEXT WEDNESDAY.
Chemistry students - goal for the end of the class period: What is the major question that you will explore with your project? Be prepared to share these tomorrow. Remember, try to think of something you are already interested in, and explore the chemistry behind it.
Once you have thought of your major question, determine your next steps. Think about what kind of product you will create and what criteria you think should be on our rubric. Begin doing your research!

For the chemistry review document below, work by yourself, with a partner, or with a group to review the content in the released test. Keep in mind that we have not gone through all of the content yet.
1. Mark the questions which you remember learning but are having a hard time with.
2. Make a different mark for the questions which cover content that you don't think we have covered yet.
