biology I
Biology is the study of living organisms. In our class we investigate life all around us and within us! In the first semester we study:
1. Characteristics of life
2. The molecules of life
3. Cell structures and their functions
4. Types of cell transport and processes
During the second semester we investigate:
1. DNA and RNA and Protein Synthesis
2. The Fundamentals of Genetics
3. Ecology

Field guides are used by people to identify specific plants and animals that inhabit different ecosystems. You will create a simple field guide of the organisms that you observe in and around the pond ecosystem. Click here for a template to use to guide you in the preparation of your own digitally illustrated field guide.
