Homework tonight is an FRQ from the AP test two years ago: 2015 FRQ 5. Email miss.volkening@gmail.com for a copy if you need it.

Coming up:

• You have a test next week, either Wednesday or Thursday.
• You have a lab on Monday/Tuesday. You might want to find and download a tone generator app for your phone, though if you don't my tuning forks will do fine.
• You have a work day and a practice test tomorrow
• The last day of the quarter is Thursday. I have to submit quarter grades on Friday. If you want something to make it on to the quarter grade, you need to turn it in soon.
