Jackson finished his essay. We looked over it for any grammatical and spelling errors. He fixed all of the errors and turned in the final copy. He then sent out his sat and act scores to the admissions office and payed the application fee.
I returned Jackson's graded Chapter 15 quiz (27/30) and went over it with him. We then resumed consideration of Chapter 16, addressing the cases of McCulloch v. Maryland, Gibbons v. Ogden, Munn v. Illinois, Northern Securities v. US, and Dred Scott v. US, plus related issues of law and policy. Jackson's questions and comments were outstanding--the best yet.

Lab moved along nicely. The concept of current change, resistance and voltage were demonstrated by the different set ups. Jackson determined the calculated numbers and then checked them using the lab equipment. The results were very close.
Jackson turned in his homework assignment on time today; great job! We went over the few problems for which he had been unable to achieve the correct final solution, and then we moved on to a new Chapter. We discussed how the things we are covering now will be important if and when he takes Calculus. We went over some concepts that he had experience with from Algebra II, and a few new concepts which interrelate the topics we've recently worked on.
Today I administered the Chapter 15 quiz to Jackson. Thereafter we commenced consideration of Chapter 16, dealing with landmark cases of the US Supreme Court. We engaged in a detailed consideration of Marbury v. Madison, which established the principle of judicial review in the US.
