Changes going forward.

It has been a challenge figuring out how to proceed with teaching and learning during the current lockdown.  Some students have signed up to study biology during their senior year, some are interested in learning, and some will major in biology in college. As a result, lessons will be posted here and in Google Classroom for those students who are interested.  

Zoom meetings will continue and we can discuss the material posted but you will not have to upload any completed assignments.  The rationale was explained to the students who attended the Zoom meeting this morning.

Good luck on your AP exams.

Timeline Assignment.

The second and final part of the assignment is available in Google Classroom.  Due date Friday, May 8th.  Please upload to the specific Timeline folder.

Zoom meeting

Meeting open to anyone from 5th or 3rd Period.  The information is listed in both Google classrooms. It will start at 10 am on Friday, May 8th.

Zoom Meeting

A Zoom meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at 10am. This meeting is being conducted during the time frame allotted for 3rd period.  It was decided by their class that we would have another class meeting.

 Anyone from 5th Period can join if you would like.  You can contact someone from 3rd period for the code, email me or text me at the Google voice phone number.  The Google Voice Phone number has been posted in Google classroom.

Work assigned on Mondays and Wednesdays are due Fridays of the same week. There will be a specific folder for each week.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Geologic / Biologic Time Line.

Create a timeline to show the development of 4.6 billion year old Earth.  Create a timeline to show how the development of Earth. Divide the timeline into geologic and biologic events.  Use pictures and words in your design.
Addendum
