ATTENTION PARENTS AND STUDENTS: When School is back in person, we may be doing activities outside and in the classroom, with plants and other equipment and materials. This class is likely different from anything else you have done in school. Safety comes first. I will not make you do anything you are uncomfortable with, but it is important that you take all equipment and procedures seriously! We will have class discussions on expectations and safety together before doing any laboratory activities.
