Science
- Get together with your group to finish Puzzling Scenarios if there is still work to be done on your poster. Don't forget: the top of the poster should have the question prompt written, your answer/explanation is written at the bottom of the poster, and the middle section is devoted to an illustration explaining the concept that pertains to your scenario. (A perfect place to meet to get this done is after school at Homework Club in the Library. Even though the due date is Thursday 10/10, you shouldn't procrastinate and wait until the last minute to meet!)

- work on the Heat Transfer Project (due Tuesday, 10/29); at this point in time, you should have already decided whether to use Comic Life, GoAnimate, Pixton, Strip Generator, or another animated program that you've found  
(It is important to play around with the program you're planning to use before you start your project. You might want to look for tutorials on YouTube that show you how to use the program that you're using --- such as GoAnimate)
