Lab Safety Rules
1. Read all instructions carefully and understand the purpose of the investigation before you investigate.

Retake Procedure:
Retakes can always be completed as long as students complete corrections and hand them in before the retake date. I will give a day such as Tuesday. The options for retake that day would be Tuesday morning at 7:30am OR that afternoon at 3pm. If for some reason students are unavailable for both times they must come to me to make arrangements for a different day/time.
