Unit 1 TEST
Sep 9 & 11
Hi guys - I had to go to South Carolina for the week. SURPRISE!
Here is the plan…..Please complete ALL the MCQ and FRQ Progress Checks in class. Feel free to work together. Email me with your questions/concerns. I think I can make videos to send to you so please let me know what you want to see. You have both class blocks this week to work on these progress checks.
Video of FRQ 1 worked out. After you watch this, work FRQ 2. They are similar.
FRQ 3 is basically the lab I want to do on Monday. Please attempt the FRQ before then. FRQ 4 is here.
We will have a very short lab on Monday. The test will be Tuesday (next week).
Finally, can you please email me a photo of your book homework? I’d like to go ahead and get that out of the way. Again, if there is something you want to see worked out, let me know.
