Hot Liver Lab!

For Thursday, February 19, 2009 you will need to read through the instructions for the lab we'll be doing on that day. A pre-lab quiz will be given on that day. You'll want to know your stuff!

You can find an additional copy of the instructions here.

A few announcements...

While grading this weekend I noticed that, for some reason, quite a few of my students did NOT turn in the Acid/Base Lab from last week. I'm not sure why that is. Please turn this sheet in ASAP if you'd like to earn full credit.

Also, be certain that you are continuing to work through Chapter 2 (Sections 1-4) so that you'll be ready to turn them in (all assigned questions from each section) next Monday (2/23/09). I will be checking Section 4 Questions #1-4 tomorrow in class!

This week's calendar can be found here.

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY: Bring in some food containers with the "Nutrition Facts Panel" in tact. We will be using these in class next week. 1 pt/container (maximum of 5 containers/student)

Make-Up Work

Students often ask, "What did we do yesterday when I was absent?" Well, with an average of 5-10 students/class per day, it's nearly impossible for me to stop teaching to address your individual need for makeup work. It is YOUR responsibility to either a) see me before or after school to discuss, b) come to class early to discuss, c) stop by during lunch to discuss, or d) email me at Courtney.Craig@lausd.net or post a comment here on this blog! (see link to "Comment" at the bottom of this post)

Not only should you also consult the Weekly Calendar (which may or may not be accurate) & this blog, but you should also be sure to check the metal file box in the front of the classroom for any papers I may have handed out.

?? What do I do if I miss a test or quiz ??
You will have 1 week after you return from your absence to make up this Test or Quiz. After that time has passed, you will earn a ZERO grade for the work. You will need to schedule time (before/after school or during lunch) to make-up the work as well.

?? What do I do if I miss a lab ??
Some labs require make-up. Not all do. You will need to see me to determine if you'll need to make-up a lab. Again, you'll need to schedule time (before/after school or during lunch) to make-up this work!
