Monday: No School

Thursday: Begin using TM to break down our understanding of photosynthesis and analyze for scientific relevance.

Friday: Turn in "The Mark Watney Doesn't Die" Project: Part 1: Photosynthesis in Mars Student Sheet by the end of class.
Receive in class:
1 Pacing Guide for TM and
2 Part 2: Cellular Respiration in Mars Student Sheet

Reminders:
Your copy of "The Martian" by Andy Weir, should be in-class by Tuesday January 12. If you do not come speak to me by Friday, I will assume you will be able to procure a copy yourself and do not need support. Therefore, you will be responsible for the out of class readings after Tuesday January 12. 
Booksellers at Laurelwood will have 2 edition formats available for purchase beginning (hopefully) on Thursday January 7. They will be discounted 20% if you tell them you are getting it for my class at WSHS.

Expect weekly blog posts to be updated FREQUENTLY during TM instruction.
