Human Body

Hi

We are starting a new six week unit covering the human body. This will be a very quick overview. Keep in mind that every chapter that we cover could be a year long college course as there is so much information. However for our purposes we will be covering six chapters in sic weeks so hold on and stay on top of assignments.

Our order of chapters will be as follows, 38,37, 36 , 35, 39, 40. Notes?

Homework due 12/1 Friday - Vocabulary Chapter 38
Homework Due Friday 12/ 8 Page 994 " creative writing" and Vocabulary chapter 37

I'll be posting class notes soon!
Thanks
Ms. Trusso
