This website will be your guide to upcoming test dates, tutorial dates, and information on our current unit. Classwork folders are checked daily for completion (full credit is represented by a signature stamp), and graded on the day of each unit exam (quiz or test). Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions.
For Quarter 1/Quarter 2, we will be covering the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) aligned for Life Science, which will be taught through two different storylines that emphasize Ecology, Population Genetics, Cellular Organization, Metabolism and Homeostasis.
For Quarter 3/Quarter 4, we will continue with three additional storyline approaches that focus on Physiology, Disease, Genetics, Evolution and Human Impact. These phenomena based storylines are an inclusive, three-dimensional approach to learning Biology, as all students will learn the content and apply their knowledge through real world scenarios.
