Forensic Science Announcements

Quarter 2 grades were updated on 12/3/09.
 
Some bookmarks to use for the drug chart we've been working on in class:   http://www.ikeepbookmarks.com/browse.asp?folder=2609767

All classes:  Bring your textbook to class for the next two weeks.   

Our next quiz is on Forensic Toxicology.  It is scheduled for 12/22 for pds 1, 2, and 4B.  It is scheduled for 12/23 for pd 4A.  The study guide and reading assignment for the chapter are on the handouts page.  The review game is at the bottom of the forensic science links page.

With the prediction of an early and long flu season, the classroom could really use boxes of tissues.  Any donations would be greatly appreciated!
