New semester means new topics and new classes!

Physical science will have topics and so will biology.  Make sure you always check to see that you are posting under the right topics!  You will only get credit for the topics that are your class!!!  Every week you need to post 2 times at least!  That makes for 18 posts each nine weeks for your grade to be an A!!!  Be careful because each post is screened by me and any post that is deleted does not count for your grade.  All must be quality entries.  Have fun and good luck!!!
