How did America expand and what cultural interactions resulted from this change in territory and population?

This week, we will focus on the settlement of Texas (before it became a U.S. state it was part of Mexico and then became its own country!) and the causes of the war between the United States and Mexico.

Check the homework board carefully--with MCAS tests on Wednesday and Friday this week, due dates may be different for each class.

The goal for this week is for students to be able to explain the basic structure of the atom in terms of protons, neutrons,  and electrons and how to use the periodic table to determine the atomic mass and number of elements.
