Hello guys!
You may have already received an email from ck12 indicating that I have made an assignment. This assignment is due on the 8th. This is the only assignment for homework points. I will be looking mainly at your scores in the assessments.

You do not have to go over everything. I suggest you go over the reading and the videos plus the assessments.

Good luck!

Pre-Algebra Practice 2, for those who already finished

Hello guys,
Some of you already finished the first practice, so here you have the second. This one will contain some topics that are a little more abstract but we will hopefully enjoy the new content shared with us via this practice.

Use this LINK to download the practice.

Create your first blog (Both Pre-Algebra and Physical Science)

Hello again!
As I mentioned in one of our classes today, we will be using a blog to post some of the work that you do during this school year. In order to create your blog you will need to have a gmail account and then follow the steps that the next video shows. If you do not have a gmail account, the video shows also how to create the account.

In this blog you will be entering some posts based on the topics that we will be discussing in class. As I mentioned today, the first entry will be about an important milestone in the history of science. You will choose one that you understand made the biggest impact in the history of science and you will justify your selection.

See you tomorrow!
