Today more explanation re: culminating project. It is meant to be a 'review' project. That is, by working on your culminating project, you will be studying for your final exam. If you follow the rubric and give yourself enough time (there are 2 weekends in there for you to use before its due), then you will get a very good mark and you've studied! It's win-win! Although I cannot give you more time in class to work on this, you can bring in your work along the way and ask for feedback. Homework: begin to work on culminating project. Note: you will need to do 3 concept maps: chemistry, physics, biology. YOu will find the assignment on the 'exam' or click here.
