Wednesday Homework
Read the article "Space Probes".
On the front, the chart compares different parts of the human body to parts of a spacecraft. You need to complete the chart by filling in the parts of a spacecraft that would be similar to the human body part on the left.
There are 3 "Thinking Questions" on the last page. These should be answered on a separate sheet of paper.
You will get ALL the work you have turned in back tomorrow. There are also quite a few papers in the "No Name" folder... any missing work that you'd like to make-up is due FRIDAY IN CLASS (yes, I am giving you an extra night).
Term 3 ends on Friday.
