EOC TUTORING HAS STARTED!!!!

Students may come to room 307 to receive extra help in Biology to better prepare for current content & prepare for the EOC. Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:40 - 5 pm (Transportation is provided for those students who participate in tutoring the entire time) tutoring will be provided. A weekly overview will be posted on this blog, to display what topics will be covered in each session.

Week of 1/14-1/18

This week in Biology we will learn how to graph data properly, how to use the Elements and Principles of Art, and how to view and sketch things using a Light-Compound Microscope.

We will start with the Characteristics of Life, then move to the Elements/Principles of Art, to graphing, and then the Scientific Method.

We will use Labs, Activities, Projects, Gimkit, and a study guide to practice our skills in order to prepare for an assessment at the End of the week or Monday.

1ST QUIZ GRADES HAVE BEEN ENTERED, AND GRADE CHECKPOINTS ARE DUE TOMORROW!!
