HIGH SCHOOL HOMEWORK
- 2 Entries about this week's learning in your field journal with a drawing for each or paste in an image/picture for each.
- Next week's assigned research (see questions below)
- Study for Quiz. Week 7 "Light I" Google Doc (also found in your google drive under "Shared with Me")
- Allison Homework: 1 field journal from what you learned this week & do this lab with 1 Field journal Lab: "Follow the Light" worksheet (remember that light interacts with materials in 3 ways: being absorbed, being reflected or bounced off, and being transmitted or moving through)
HIGH SCHOOL ASSIGNED RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Add your notes to the Google Doc "Week 8: (More) Light" (by Tuesday at 6pm)
Week 8: (More) Light–some of these questions will be easier to just find a good image/picture rather than a note.
