In gdocs, you have a worksheet called Maine Geology. You will be exploring 2 of the links on this page and recording the information. Please do not rush through this. What can you learn about the geology of the state in which you live?
If you finish, you can read the news article about glaciation in Maine.
Please log into Powerschool and check your grades. If you have a blank the score has not been entered. If you have an NHI, I have not received it. Please email me if you have any questions, concerns, or work to turn in.
- Work for the common assessment is on my desk.
- The take-home test is due Monday but can be turned in today.
