Cell phones aren’t needed in my classroom, so please leave them in your locker or put them in the basket on my desk during class.
“If you are walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress!” Barack Obama
Build a solid science vocabulary
Investigate the latest technologies and their impact on science and our world
See science as worthwhile and meaningful
Develop thought provoking, creative skills and solve real-life problems
Prepare for MCA Testing to meet/exceed MN HS Science Standards
Have fun!!
Our Modern Biology text is written in an interesting, engaging and well-organized manner. It’s attention-grabbing photos and feature articles will help remove the myth that science is boring and difficult.
Biology continually encompasses the “Going Green” trend, a path that will eventually improve our quality of life and the life of our planet!
Materials:
Textbook and you will also be given a “packet” at the beginning of each chapter or topic section. This will keep you more organized and up to date if you are absent.

My Daily Plan:

II. Motivate: A stimulating activity, reading, demonstration, or discussion that reviews or introduces material.
III. Teach: Effectively use notes, power point, group or individual activities, worksheets, labs, films* etc. to transfer information from book to you!
*You will be awarded one “entertainment” film with a BT (Biological Theme) rating.
IV. Close: Formative assessments, questions, quizzes, homework, and section reviews to reinforce & assess material covered.
Extra Credit Ideas:
Put “Biology Classroom” article on Mrs. Manitz’s website
Team teach a lesson with me or assist in lab set up

Bring real-world biology news to the classroom
Do you have another idea?
Classroom Ethics
Respect S.O.L.E. Self, Others, Learning, & Environment
Spread positive attitudes and courtesy
Look for good in others and tell them

Welcome back to school,

Absences:
Good attendance is extremely important as we cover a substantial amount of material each day. Class and group activities that we do on days you are absent cannot be made up. Your grade will be omitted for that assignment.
For all other work you miss, you are responsible for obtaining your assignments and notes from me.
Late Assignments: each day late = one grade lower
