Core Connections - Rainy Day and Outtage Advice and Adaptations

Today's lesson is real-world and  relevant for what you're studying in science.  I hope you enjoy working on this as much as I enjoyed putting it together.  I made it JUST FOR YOU!

It is called Chemicals in Cosmetics, and it's in Project Support.

The following is advice for adapting to weather-related internet issues.  

1. Download the Activity for today.  If  your internet goes out, you can still do at least half of the activities off-line.

2. If Zoom refuses to cooperate or lags you out, you can work independently on today's activity. 

3. Although you have to write down your own answers, you CAN work in pairs/triplets together during class and it will be more fun.  Or you can work independently if your internet is fussy or if you just like to work by yourself.

4.  The enrichment (part 5) is optional, but I would love to see what you dig into for that.  

5.  You can finish this today if you jump in and focus.  See you soon!
