Academic Biology with Lab

Mr. Daniel C. Reynolds B.S. Bio/Chem, M.Ed, State of Ohio Master Teacher

Welcome to the 2020-21 Open House at BBHHS, and more specifically, my Academic Biology course. I, as well as your son/daughter appreciate you taking the time to play an active role in your child’s education. Below you will find a quick overview of my class structure and curriculum:

Course of Study: The focus of this course will be on the study of living organisms both great and small. Various educational methods will be utilized including labs, projects, activities and presentations. The school is moving towards a more online approach with materials through use of classroom netbooks and online resources. It is imperative that your son/daughter utilizes these resources to facilitate their classroom studies.

Course Requirements: All students have been given an online login for the classroom resources, as well as an online packet containing various assignments, labs and notes that will be covered for the semester. Students are expected to actively participate in all laboratory work and classroom assignments in order to receive a grade for the course.

Grades: Based on homework, class work, labs, tests, quizzes, presentations, projects and participation. I keep all grades on the school-wide Gradebook grading system and strongly encourage you to monitor your child’s progress throughout the year via this system. All information regarding tests, projects, notes and homework is listed on my website.

Extra Help: I make time to be available for extra help if a student finds it necessary for one on one assistance. Please be sure that you tell your child to seek out help whenever necessary. I have a 4th period planning every day and after school until 3:10 as long as I do not have a scheduled tennis match. (I coach the boys and girls Varsity Tennis teams so am currently unavailable on match days after school)
