Welcome to Biology!

I cannot wait to start the 2017-2018 school year with you!  You will learn Biology as a series of interconnected concepts that explains how life in the world exists, persists, adapts, and gets along. You will also learn how you learn, and how to make different learning styles work for you. Finally, you'll develop critical thinking and analysis skills that will serve you well, no matter what career or field of study you pursue after high school.

Some of the topics we will cover:

Introduction to Ecology

Introduction to Cell Structure and Function

Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis

Introduction to Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Introduction to DNA

Introduction to Protein Synthesis

Introduction to Genetics

Introduction to Biotechnology

Bacteria and Viruses

Introduction to Evolution

Plus much, much more!!!!!

GUARANTEED TO BE INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING AND FUN.
