Folder for the Uploaded Work is Available

The folder to upload all your work is available in Google Classroom.  Only Upload the work to that specific folder for work done between Sept 8 through today, Sept 11.  

It is a good idea to read from Section 2.9 on page 24 through the end of the chapter.  This way you could ask for clarification during the lecture on Monday.

Have a great weekend.

2) Read pages 2 of the textbook and create a flow chart to show life's levels of organization.  Use pictures  where appropriate and leave a few lines between each level. I will be elaborating on the reading tomorrow.
