Evolution word list and INCLEMENT WEATHER NOTICE

INCLEMENT WEATHER means that you WILL have BIOLOGY HOMEWORK posted on this blog!

If school is cancelled for any reason you will have to check my blog for homework. EXPECT to have your work checked or a quiz the next day. It won't take you longer than a class period to complete the assignment. We do not have any time to waste. The EOC will be here before you know it and you still have a lot to learn!
