The Wave Parts & Properties Quiz was on Monday, Sept. 30. Please have your student see Haney if they need to make up the quiz.
Retakes for the Thermal Energy Transfer Quiz were discussed in class on Monday.
This week we’ll be continuing our wave unit by learning about mechanical waves. The last assessment this quarter will be over mechanical waves and it will be during the last week of the quarter. Students who are absent for that quiz will receive an Incomplete (I) for the 1st quarter content knowledge grade AND will be able to make up the quiz when we return. The Incomplete (I) will then be updated.
