Finish  bio magnification/bio accumulation lab today.  Some of you finished in 6th period today, go ahead and work on the review tomorrow (still have to bring in books though...I only have five).

Turn in the questions individually, you do not need to turn in a lab write up as a group (the questions cover that).
