Ecology Club

If anyone has pictures of our workday on October 18, especially before and after pics. Email them to me at jmittman@kapaun.org and I can post them here.

Thanks to everyone for the great job of keeping up with the paper recycling--many teachers have commented that their box rarely fills up.

The description of a chemical that can BURN SAND. . . this is a real chemical--not common but real.

Study guide--old tests!!

The answer keys to the previous unit tests and quizzes are posted under the periodic table in the room. If you want--come before or after school WITH your old tests and you can see the questions and the correct answers. Make corrections on your tests and you have a set of study guides for the semester final. How cool is that?
