I had the students illustrate the five vocabulary terms that are going to be important in their science spirals.  those words were revolve, orbit, rotate, axis, and eclipse.
I also gave the students that failed the test or made below a 75 on it a test corrections packet.  They need to do the test corrections before next Wednesday.  I did not let the students take home the packet since they were a class set but you can get the packet by CLICKING HERE
