Remember: Summative assignments must be turned in through the class canvas. You may work on the paper until you are ready to submit your answers, but will only get a grade if you submit the answers to canvas.

It is your responsibility to come take a make up test if you are not ready when I call your name!

Lab Test:

In front of the teacher, complete 5 fusions in the game in the given time and answer 3 questions about the lab. 

When you feel that you can do it, come up to the teacher’s desk. If you do not come by the end of this class, it will go into the gradebook as a missing zero until you make time during agenda time or after school in a future class.
