Mrs. Lester's Biology Site

Welcome to Biology

Both Regents and Honors Biology classes cover essentially the same curriculum and take the same exam at the end of the year, the Living Environment Regents Exam. To be eligible for the exam you must complete a minimum of 20 satisfactory labs reports.


We will cover 6 units this year. It will be interesting to see which one is your favorite!

  1. Scientific Inquiry
  2. Biochemistry and the Cell
  3. Human Physiology
  4. Genetics
  5. Evolution
  6. Ecology

The pages and subpages for the unit will be revealed as we get to them. This is the location where you will be able to find the Google Slides for the notes when you are absent as well as other resources. If you come across videos and other helpful resources, let me know, so that I can consider adding them to the website!

Here are the 3 documents that I hand out in the first few days

1. Syllabus and Expectations (note- one is for Regents Bio and the other is for Honors). Make sure you scroll down to read the 4 page documents.

2. Lab Letter

3. Safety Contract

Syllabus and Expectations 2019-20
Honors Syllabus and Expectations 9.2019

This is the Safety Video that goes along with the Safety Contract above!


You may prefer this parody to help you remember a few of the rules (although they are doing a lot of chemistry - still fun)!!
