Semester 1 Science Review - Chemistry
Instructions for students:
For each unit, watch the video(s) and then write a summary that includes all of the key terms for that unit. You will be given a point for each correct piece of information in your summaries. Each summary must be written in well-formed complete sentences. Each unit summary will be worth 10 points with the possibility of earning extra credit if they are very well written, or if they include more than 10 correct pieces of information.
