• For those students who do not want to take their textbooks home each time they have homework there is a downloadable PDF version of the textbook now available online. It’s easy, just log onto http://www.carolinacurriculum.com/login_student_catastrophic.asp Password: Catastrophic
• Link to the Organisms from Macro to Micro Textbook: http://www.carolinacurriculum.com/login_student_organisms.asp Password: Organisms
Download the PDF or just click on the link on my blog!
• If anyone has an old electric kettle for boiling water that they do not use anymore or is just taking up space, we would love if it could be donated to the science class. It will not be used to drink from so even if it dirty or rusty we can use it! It is worth extra credit.
