11/16 - Updated calendar for PreAP Biology. PreAP Biology Respiration exam has been moved back one class period. Check out the Science Team page for updates - The team finished second in the Trash-to-treasure competition this past Saturday!
11/9 - It is disappointing that 30 to 40% of the PreAP Students did not turn in their photosynthesis lab this past week. The photosynthesis lab is one of the easiest labs for the entire year. We worked on this lab for 4 days IN CLASS. The student just needed to label the flow charts and put the molecules in the correct order - AGAIN WE DID ALL OF THIS AS A CLASS IN CLASS FOR FOUR DAYS. The students were given the answers! The ONLY thing the student had to do at home was color the flow charts, which they could have been doing as they went. I cannot think of an excuse why the lab would be late much less not turned in. I take late work - Parents - please ask your son or daughter about this!
11/9 No changes for this coming weeks calendar for PreAP Biology. Updated IB calendar.
PreAP Extra Review sessions for the Respiration test will be Friday, 11/14 after school from 3PM to 3:45PM and Tuesday, 11/18 before school 6:45AM to 7:20AM.
Just want to be sure that everyone knows I do take late work! Please click for details.
