APES
In class we watched a video on the history of the atom then reviewed for our quiz that we'll be taking tomorrow. Use the attached review packet to review the material you need to know for the quiz.
In class we discussed symbiotic relationships and did a card sort to further investigate mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Then we worked on climate graphs. You can watch a video on how to make climate graphs below and the materials for your assignment are on google classroom.
Homework: Watch Smedes 1.3 and Take Notes
