We have a busy week ahead of us.  Here's an outline:

-Friday: final day to hand-in lab reports, if disaster strikes and you can't 
make it to school you must email me an electronic copy of your report.  I 
will reply with an email if I receive it.  This means that if I don't reply 
you must re-submit it until I do. NOTE: Sometimes hotmail addresses are 
blocked by our Peel Board email accounts, so try to send from another address.

your test then.  See the handouts page for an overview.

***Update - September 16th***

We will practice using our dichotomous keys this Friday so everyone should 
have a working copy (i.e., a first draft) ready by then.  You will then have 
the weekend to fix any problems with your keys that you might discover.

On Monday you must hand in your key to me and I will approve it for use 
during Wednesday's Bell Ringer.  If I don't get a key on Monday then you will 
have to complete the bellringer without one.
