(Early dismissal...finish for homework.  BrainPOP shuts down at 5:00 PM.)

• Please view the following BrainPOP titles as background research for our current unit.   They are in the order that I want you to view them.

• Take notes on the BIG ideas and the vocabulary that I specifically mention.

• Try the quizzes at the end using the notes in your notebook.  If you do not make an 80% or higher, then you will need to adjust your notes.

1b.  Read this after viewing Compass. 

2a.  Waves (as review)
