My name is Mr. Barfield, and I will be your Life Science teacher this year in 7th Grade. I have been here at Harlem Middle for 13 years. Besides teaching science, I also serve as the Varsity Softball and assistant Baseball coach here at HMS. In my spare time, I umpire baseball, softball, and basketball. Over the summer, I got married to my Wife, Melissa. In science this year, we will cover a variety of topics that range from the basics of life to major organisms and biomes found worldwide. I plan to incorporate labs and projects into the curriculum. I hope that you are ready for the adventure to begin.
Overview of Life Science:
This year in Life Science we will cover a wide range of topics broken down into 8 different units. There will be Unit tests after each of the units are taught.
The Units Are:
Unit 1: Structure & Function of Cells
Unit 2: Cell Process: Cell Process (Osmosis & Diffusion)
Unit 3: Human Body Systems
Unit 4: Genetics & Reproduction
Unit 5: Evolution
Unit 6: Organization of Life
Unit 7: Interactions among living things
Unit 8: Ecosystems & Biomes
Each Core Class will have a Google Classroom where I will add additional resources and post important information for students and parents.
