Physical Science A Videos - These will be a weekly assignment, though you can work ahead if you would like. For each week, you will watch the two or three videos, and for each video write a brief summary, or write about something you found interesting or learned in the video. Some weeks we will have a question to go with the video, if so, answer those instead of the summary for that video. These should be double spaced, and a page in length total.
