&
Homework The following is last years calendar outlining the topics covered, time intervals, and textbook pages for each. This will give you a general idea of what is covered in my class; HOWEVER......., I most likely will be incorporating some significant changes this year. My goal is to move towards more student directed science and project based. This will happen over several years but my plan is to begin the process this year.
