Greetings, and welcome to my website! On this site, you will find information for Biology 9, Biology 9 Honors, Forensic Science, & Astronomy. Each week, I will post information about the topics we will be covering, including assignments, quizzes, tests, and other important information. You will also find links to valuable online resources.

Please check this page each week. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at mradus@stjohnsprepschool.org. I look forward to having a great year with you!

About Your Teacher

Hello! 😊 I'm Ms. Radus.

I am a proud graduate of St. John's Prep, and I believe strongly in its mission to provide an outstanding Catholic education to the young people of New York City. In my 20+ years of teaching, I have taught Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Astronomy, Human Health & Disease, and Forensic Science. I'm fascinated by all aspects of science, so if you ask me any science question, I can guarantee we'll get a good discussion going.

I believe that authentic, hands-on learning is very important (while observing necessary health and safety practices), so I am committed to guiding you through science with laboratory and research assignments that will connect you with what you are learning. I believe that everyone should be literate in science, so we will focus on reading, writing, and communicating using the language of science.

I love to travel, and to learn about cultures and places that I've never seen before. Two of my favorite travel destinations are the Galapagos Islands, and Costa Rica. I love nature photography, so get ready to see some more of my vacation photos throughout the year!

I hope that we learn a lot about each other this year! Welcome to my class!
