*Finish with periodic table bingo

Tues 8/29

Welcome back, intro

How will your grade be determined? 

Major, medium, minor…all assignments in LiFT will be counted toward semester grade

We will be brushing up on the scientific method this semester…one important part of that is observing…

Observation practice

More observation practice!
