• If you have finished both, work on a Scratch project related to Electronics.  You will receive extra credit for a finished project.
• There are a few people who haven't passed the safety test.  You will miss out on today's activities unless you pass right now.

3.  Pizza box circuits.  Today we will build the battery pack only and test to make sure it works.  On Thursday, we will finish this project.
