Friday's video assignment uses ASL for signing the Timeline Song. You'll notice that some of the motions are different, but I really like how she gives a brief explanation of each event. This provides a nice review of ancient history, since in class, we are currently studying modern times. The motions are not required, but can be a helpful tool for memorizing. Please watch Weeks 1-4 this week. Each video is 2-3 minutes.

Matter Poem
There are three states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas
We'll begin with the latter
This test you can pass
A gas has no shape
It's molecules bounce all over the place
Gas tries to escape
Far out into space
A liquid moves freely
It's molecules can flow
They fill your glass easily
From place to place they go
A solid is firm
It's molecules locked in tight
There's no room to squirm
Try as a solid might
