You will now complete the next formative assessment for this class. The assessment is located in Illuminate.
Please make sure you try your best on these CFAs. The results will be used to determine what we focus on in whole group sessions, as well as whether you need to attend small-group sessions for extra help. It is important that we have an accurate picture of your understanding so far!
Login to Illuminate using your Launchpad and complete the assessment titled: HCS_22-23_Physical Science Formative 8. Please let Mrs. Raines know if you get an error message.
