When is the lab due?

Lab reports are due one week after the lab is completed.  If the lab is completed on Thursday, then it 
is due the following Thursday. Exceptions are made when the due date for the lab falls on a day
when school is not in session. Check the calendar or homework page for changes.

What do I do if I am absent for a lab?

Some labs can be made up after school by appointment.  If the lab contains consumable materials, it 
can not be made up. In this case, a report on the topic of the lab should be written. It should have
at least five sources and contain one page for each source.

I was absent yesterday. What did I miss?

Check the webpage first.  If handouts were distributed, ask for the specific one at the beginning of 
class. If notes were taken, ask a classmate for the information.
