Last week for grades for this first 6 weeks!

Window panes for 'Bioenergetic reactions" is due this TUESDAY, October 2nd. Here's  a copy of the list if you lost it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wMdD1hb_sFjgC41UJbNi4Ql5-ourbZrs55B1f8zQZ34/edit?usp=sharing If you were absent or re-taking/ taking a test in class on Friday here is the documentary you missed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fq2mOCTX6k    You need to watch it! ALSO- If you have not completed any of your previous word lists you should have those completed by Tuesday October 2nd  if you want to receive a "re-take" project grade. REMEMBER- your homework window pane grades will be averaged for a test grade at the end of every 6 weeks. If you've only handed in one set of window panes then that means you'll receive a 33% test/ project grade.   FIX YOUR WINDOW PANES TO IMPROVE YOUR GRADE!    THE PREVIOUS LISTS ARE ALSO POSTED ON THIS SITE IN PREVIOUS POSTS.
