=**Fipping the Scientific Method!**= ===//For this unit, we will be completing lectures and notes for homework. This will allow more time in class for practice, hands on activities, and lab experiments. It is important that you complete each night's homework. Failing to do so would be the same as missing class and you may fall behind. Each day at the beginning of class we will take an entrance slip and I will check your notes for completion. Your completed notes will count as a homework grade. The entrance slip will help me determine if we need to revisit the notes or if we can move on to the activites planned for that lesson.//===
