    WELCOME to Biology! This semester we will review the


    Characteristics of Life. This covered in Chapter 1. We will
    study Ecology in chapters 3, 4, 5 & 6, focusing on the
    Interdependence and Biodiversity of organisms. In the
    second quarter we will begin the exploration of the "Micro"
    world as we switch to our next topic, Biochemistry, in
    Chapter 2. We will then study the structure and function of
    Cells, Cellular Energy, and Cellular Division in chapters
    7, 8, 9 and 10.

    Your Class Grade will consist primarily of unit exams,
    and several quizzes covering vocabulary and basic
    concepts during the week. Quizzes and other class
    activities are your opportunities to experience and practice
    with these ideas so that you can master the learning
    objectives of this class. . Quizzes can be re-taken (outside
    of class time) until this goal is met. Tests are your chance
    to demonstrate your mastery in a timely manner and
    THERE IS NO RE-TESTING IN THIS CLASS.

    Class ExpectaCons (Guidelines for Success)


    You are responsible for your learning (no-one else can learn it for you). Most
    acGviGes are designed so they can be completed during class so that I can assess and
    assist with your progress. However you can expect homework. Time out of class will
    also be required to prepare for tests, quizzes and compleGon of some projects.

    We are all responsible for the learning environment in our classroom. Please note
    that behavior that fosters a posiGve learning environment for all in the class is
    required. Our classroom policies and procedures as well as LHS policies such as cell
    phone, tardy, academic honesty, are designed with that goal in mind and will be
    followed. In order to foster a safe and comfortable atmosphere that promotes
    learning for all. We will spend Gme in class developing these expectaGons as the
    semester progresses.
    Note that although you are responsible for your behavior, I am required to maintain
    a classroom that provides ALL students with the opportunity to learn.

    Therefore I follow these guidelines:
    1. I will allow students to remain in class as long as they do not cause a problem for
    anyone else.
    2. If they cause a problem, I will ask them to x it.
    3. If they cant or will not x it, I will do something.
    4. What I do will depend on what the person is willing to do to solve the problem.
