SNC 1D1 Unit 3: ELECTRICITY
Name:
__________________________
You will now keep FOUR sections
in your science binder. The first is for all notes and activities
completed in class. The second section is for your Chemfolio
activities. The third is for your Reprofolio. The fourth is
for your electricity manual. This checklist is your first page of
the manual. It will help you keep track of your unit completion.
