Tests from Chapter 4 were passed back today.
We started Section 1, Chapter 5.
Homework for tonight is to read pages 140-149. They have 10 key terms on page 171 that should be defined in their vocab section. I also asked them to think of simple illustrations or stick figures to draw next to their definitions. I modeled a very primitive stick figure of a plant to show the transport directions of phloem and xylem(vocab words).
