Welcome to Biology!

Biology is an entry-level, lab-based science course, focused on the study of life. It is a pre-requisite for many science courses, including Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physics, Phenomena in Natural Science, and all AP Science courses.

Course goals are that students will:

Explain phenomena using evidence obtained from observations and/or scientific investigations.
Obtain evidence to develop models and theories to make sense of phenomena.
Revise models and theories as new evidence is discovered.
Understand that science applications can have both positive and negative ethical, social, economic, and/or political implications.

Site Navigation

This site contains information about my Biology course. This homepage contains due date calendars, office hours for tutoring, course documents, and open house information. There is a page for each respective quarter (linked below) with another copy of the due date calendars and weekly agenda slides that describe daily activities and assignments. Each individual unit also has a page with state standards, learning objectives, and recorded video lessons. You can access these pages using the toolbar along the top of the site, or using the links below.

Biology Resource Guide

I created a Biology Resource Guide to explain and highlight important resources given in Biology. This document was given to students during the first week of school, given to parents/guardians that attended Open House, and is also posted to Google Classroom. Click the three vertical dots to enlarge the presentation for easier reading.

The guide covers:

Quarter agendas (quarter overview & weekly slides)
Unit resource documents
Infinite Campus & Google Classroom posts
Unit packets
- Learning logs
- Fill-in-the-blank notes
- Practice assignments
- Review guides
Periodic Table & Polyatomic Ion reference sheet

Open House Information
