Review For Ch. 22

Today, students received their folders back with the electromagnetic spectrum webquest and the light stations. I am reviewing the answers and students can write them down on their papers. Students will then be allowed to use the folder when they take their tests. tomorrow is the last morning that students can come in early to get more points on the lab stations.

After the test, I will collect the folders and grade the EM webquest, that is why there isn't a grade on pinnacle.
