Bring Battery and Light Bulb by Tuesday, October 11th
Students will need to bring two D- size batteries and a light bulb (flash light size) for our next unit.
These materials will be returned to the student at the end of the unit.
(Hint- Since batteries and the light can be expensive if purchased separately, we suggest purchasing an entire flashlight. It includes all the parts you need.)
Students need to bring the batteries and light to class by October 11th.
If you have any further questions, please email Mrs. Sewell or Mrs. Fattah.
