November 6-8: Extra Credit!!

We've been discussing physical and chemical changes, as well as mixtures and compounds. In our daily lives, we come across these changes several times per day. For every physical change, chemical change, compound or mixture you come across this weekend and post on our blog, you will get an extra point on your test (for a maximum of 5 points).


Just click on "comment" below and you should be able to post your ideas (in the drop down menu you can choose "Anonymous"). Your comment will not show immediately as it has to be approved by me. Be creative, respectful and INCLUDE YOUR NAME!

Happy hunting!!
