Below is information about different programs/applications we will use in Science on a regular basis. Helpful videos of how to log in to the website and how to find assignments are included. When possible, students are encouraged to log in using their Google account (petalstudents.com email account). Any assignments utilizing these resources will be posted in Google Classroom.
