intitial class Electricity KWN, Use the Share button on the top left hand side and share your document with me as an editor. I will have a link then to your document to assess. It is important to keep up with the KWN as we go through concepts so it is not an overwhelming task to complete by the end of the unit. My contact is jcampbel@share.epsb.ca Complete the vocab as we work through the unit. I will be marking the finished product when we are done the unit. By working on Vocabulary your understanding of the concepts should improve as well.
