The quiz will be over those topics. Power Points are also posted. *Macromolecules is NOT on the quiz 1/16/18: *The following is postponed until Monday, 1/22 due to weather: First quiz is TOMORROW (Wednesday, 1/17). Study! The power points, video links and worksheets are in the left column under "Unit 1". *Macromolecules is NOT on the quiz 1/9/2018: No school on Monday, 1/8 (inclement weather). I will be out on Tuesday, 1/9. This is due to a personal leave day that was arranged during pre-planning. ASSIGNMENTS: Go to the left column, under "Unit Assignments". Find UNIT 1, 'Assignments'. Complete #2- #5. You may put your answers on notebook paper, if necessary. I thought I would be able to get hard copies run off for you on Monday, but there was no school and did not get them all run off on Friday. HOMEWORK: Finish #5 if you could not complete it in class. 1/4/2018: Welcome to all of my new students! I'm looking forward to a great semester.
