Daily Packets
Every day, students will receive a daily packet. The packet includes the
objectives for the day, a warm up, and any learning activities for the
day. These packets count for 25 points each. Each packet is stored in
the Chemistry binder and can be used to study for unit and final
exams. Regular binder checks occur throughout the semester to
ensure maintenance of this crucial tool.
