B Day Classes

Multimedia Design

Students have been making great progress in utilizing some of the more difficult skills in Fireworks, specifically using vector tools such as the pen and path tool and manipulating text. They should have created 5 different logos (3 for NCTHS, 1 personal, and 1 business) as well as an original image of "spongebob".  This week we will work with some of the bitmap tools. Students will:

Students will continue to review the importance of inorganic and organic molecules.  Specifically they will:

• Analyze various foods for the presence of monosaccharides, starches, proteins, fats
• Determine the claims of different energy drinks as well as review the function of their ingredients - present results
