Frequently Asked Questions

•    (Where to find the questions to answer)
The questions are located in the following places: 
The Text for the "Review" and "Critical Thinking" questions; the Investigations Manual for the Investigations and; the AMS website for the online questions
•    Do the odd-numbered Review and #s1, 5. 9 Critical Thinking.
•    When you answer the Review Questions and the Critical Thinking questions: DO NOT WRITE THE QUESTION. Your "complete-sentence" answer should start with a "re-phrasing" of the question (do not start with the word "because" e.g.). For example, for the question: "Describe the layer of the atmosphere that directly interfaces with the ocean." The answer should begin: "The layer of the atmosphere that directly interfaces with the ocean is..."
