Botany is the scientific study of plants and their relationship to the environment. In this course students investigate the growth, reproduction, anatomy, morphology, physiology, biochemistry, taxonomy, genetics, and ecology of plants. Laboratory and outdoor experiences complement classroom activities. If you miss class it is your responsibility to get the work you missed. This website, Google Classroom, and your agenda can help you keep on track with assignments and due dates. I am also available to help you before school, lunchtime, or after school. Please let me know if/when you need help and we can schedule some time.
