ATTENTION STUDENTS: Listed below are the Review Notes and problems needed to prepare for the FINAL EXAM on Thursday (1/22/15). They are filled out completely. The best thing to do is to try to solve the problems before looking at the answers.The FINAL EXAM covers Unit 1: Physical Behavior of Matter & Energy, Unit 2: Atomic Concepts & Unit 3:Nuclear Energy.There are no questions on Unit 4: Periodic Table.The FINAL EXAM is twice the weight of a "regular" exam. There will be a FINAL EXAM REVIEW CLASS on Friday (1/16/15)during tutoring. We will go over the notes & problems listed below. If you can't make it, watch the videos of the Review Notes (pgs 1-7 & 27) to review any material you need help with. STUDY HARD. GOOD LUCK!
