FIRST QUIZ

Your first quiz will encompass the concepts and content we have looked at to date, including lab.  I am estimating the quiz should take between 20 and 30 minutes.  More details will follow as we continue with Unit 1 this week.

Expect the quiz to include:  Questions involving laboratory techniques, equipment, safety and measurements, unit conversions using the factor label method (dimensional analysis) and density.
