=Welcome to the Exciting World of Biology! =  ===This wikispace was made for my biology classes for a number of activities. The pages will have information for you to read, watch or interact with for homework or for reference. This is great if you are stuck and want other information to fully understand the concepts in class.I will have a course update page devoted to news or reminders of upcoming events or due dates. ===

**Course Description: **
====Biology is the study of life. Life is complex, full of processes and elements we are still unaware of. Biology is linked to your everyday life, whether it is apparent or not. The topics that will be covered in this course are basic chemistry; the structure, organization and energetics of the cell; evolution, genetics, taxonomy, environmental biology, organismal biology (plants, animals, fungi classification and interaction), and science as a process. The course uses four themes to organize important concepts throughout the course: science, technology, and society; evolution; the relationship between structure and function; and science as a process. ==== ====This biology course will hopefully open your eyes to the world you live in and help you live better lives by being kind to the environment and to living things. ====

Students will be able to:
=Please refer to your syllabus for more details of classroom procedures for board work, handing in homework or assignments, and how to do lab reports. =
