Happy New Year!!!

Today we have a Linear Measurements Quiz (meaning we’re going to check to see if our lab last class has helped to remind you how to use a metric ruler correctly!)

Since we’re just getting our laptops today, the quiz will be available through 1) an online form or 2) a scantron during class

Here’s a link to the online version
