Thursday morning

A few additions for todays assessment.

6th grade:  There are 5 questions.  Know the symptoms of dehydration.

8th grade:  All you have to do is list the Pillars of Character, not explain.
                  When you answer the 3 forms of energy balance, you need to describe what happens to 
                   the body.  Example:  The plus form is more input of calories to output so gain weight.


Good Luck !!

Throw-off is repeated after every goal scored and after half-time.
