Objective: Today you are going to participate in an online lesson created to teach you about vector fields, divergence, and curl.  

Directions: Perform the following tasks in order.  Read all directions carefully.  Make sure to pay close attention during the videos taking notes and doing the example problems along with the instructors (Its okay to pause the video if it is going to fast to do so!).  If you have any questions, check and make sure that the answer has not been given in the directions.  If you have done this and your answer has not been given, ask Mr. Wood!
