12/13-15

We have continued in studying astronomy this week; how planets were discovered, learning specifics about the sun, sunspots, flares, and Earth's aurora, and today at relative sizes of planets and distances from the sun, plus a bit about how we know how far things are. Notes have been kept up to date online here.
Friday (rain, snow, or ice tomorrow) we'll have our cumulative exam. If school gets cancelled Friday, count on taking the cumulative exam and bumping the astronomy exam (taking in lieu of the final) to January. It's more of a quiz anyway that I was going to give you on the finals day - we're not done with the unit.

Some study materials:
Objectives list from this semester (excludes Astronomy)
Work and simple Machines TGT review game
Energy TGT review game
unit 2 review
more from unit 2
All of your old tests - questions and answers given to you. <-- these questions will be copied EXACTLY for the cumulative exam. No new questions whatsoever.
No, that's not a link, you were told to write down any questions you missed in your notes on the days after a test, plus the correct answers (they were given to you). You also had the option to come by after school to write down any/all questions and answers from each test, after being reminded that you would see them again. Look at this as the ultimate study guide, and it was given to you. If you failed to follow instructions here, you're missing out on having the easiest test ever. This is a place to improve next semester; pay attention to what you miss on an exam and learn from it; don't miss it twice.
