Thank you all for a fantastic school year. I look forward to our second year together in Biology. I hope this blog has been useful; it was viewed 10,020 times over the 9 months of use.
Next year we should be using an integrated online attendance and grading program that will replace teacher blogs. I may post some basci info on this blog page in August before school starts.
When you are surfing the net or tv channels look to expand your biology knowledge. Important topics next year will include: the origin of life, DNA/genetics, evolution, biotechnolgy and cells.
If you are bored, come join the community service work in the OHS garden. Workdays are scheduled for Saturday June 11th & 18th, July 16th & 23rd and every Thursday from June 9th - August 4th; 9AM -3PM. For more information go to http://www.oceanagarden.org/

Energy Resource Project: research
Use your textbook (& Internet) to finish research your group's E resource. Use the text to research any other E resources (found in the book) that are being presented by other groups. If the other group's E resource is not in the book you will do research on those groups next week. Take some notes on each other group's E resource from the text into your notebook; I'll check these next class.
Come to class next period with copies of any research notes and images; each group will only have one library printer pass the entire project.
Have a group WCP of 4 internet sources and the text book completed by the end of poster production next class. Required for poster to be graded: use the golden page format, alphabetize the sources, one color font with no URL underline and hanging indents.
