FCAT Explorer Extra Credit!

This is one last reminder about extra credit. FCAT explorer Science Voyager has been assigned for the past two weeks as extra credit. It is due completed online by Saturday Morning 3/23/13. You must complete all 3 bubbles with a grade of 70% or higher to qualify the points.
If you have a 70% or higher you will earn a 50/50 in my grade book. If you get a 90% or higher I will add an additional 10 points.

THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO EARN EXTRA CREDIT AND REVIEW FOR FCAT AT THE SAME TIME!!!
