EXTRA CREDIT

On a separate sheet of paper write down 5 examples of heterogeneous mixtures and 5 examples of homogeneous mixtures.

Turn it in at the beginning of the class into the turn in basket for your class period.  SHHH don't tell anyone that doesn't look at the blog this little secret extra credit.

You will get 10 extra credit points on your exam for this.
