Science Quiz

Tomorrow students will have a science quiz on Topics 1&2 of the Structures and Forces Unit.  They will be allowed to use any of the work or notes in their science notebooks but not a science textbook, In class we gave students time to improve the quality of the work in their notebooks and to practice discussing and explaining concepts.  The list below is a study guide.
