2019-2020 school year Basics


jackjohnson-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luIwHea621w

Welcome Back!  Here is some basic information that will apply to all of my classes:

You will need:
Two composition notebooks
Folder or binder for handouts
colored pencils
Black or Blue pen
Standard pencils

You will have group warm ups, quizzes and tests as well as individual assessments.

Typically, these things are not allowed out during class:  food, drinks or cell phones(these should be off ).

If you need to have something to drink throughout the day ( you're involved in sports and have to stay hydrated or you're just a really thirsty person)  keep in mind that "one use" plastic water bottles will NEVER be allowed out. A reusable drink container (one made intentionally for repeated use) would be fine provided it has a lid.

Here's why:

Recycle?? It's the last "R" for a reason!

 This next bit applies to AP Biology and AP Environmental Science classes:

These classes are hard. They require you to have an excellent work ethic, increased maturity level, minimal absenteeism (never miss a lab) and it is assumed you already have a basic background in the sciences being taught.

General Biology Regular and/or Honors:
Expect one homework assignment a week- usually vocabulary "window panes"



AP Biology

Bozeman (Paul Anderson) is your new best friend!
http://www.bozemanscience.com/ap-biology

You will most likely have homework nightly.
You will absolutely need internet access.
You will have to design your own laboratory investigations and run them in class so you will need to work with your group to make sure you have the materials you need.



AP Environmental science  (APES) - this class is a fusion of all other science disciplines

LOE (Living on Earth) and APES in a box are your best friends!! (Paul and Hank will hang out with you sometimes too!)

Biology weekend homework

YOU have 8 white sheet boxes that I need you to write out - you should write out all 8 once a day over the long weekend and hand in 3 total copies ( 8 x 3=24 boxes) on Tuesday.

The boxes are:
Protein synthesis
Cell cycle
mitosis and meiosis (this is one box)
Energy (all of the formula stuff)
Biotechnology
Ecology
Organic compounds
Cells

Here are pictures of the boxes in case you have lost yours- YOU MUST COPY THEM EXACTLY AS I HAVE WRITTEN THEM!

AP Environmental science

Here's the link to the lab rubric if you lost yours.
Remember your lab is your final grade= It needs to be completed and ready to present during class on Tuesday.

You need to plug all of your information and pictures into a google slides presentation and share that link with me!
