See you on Wednesday.

Holy Early Morning!

Hope our first early morning together didn't feel like a typical early morning!

AND, we set up our Egg Lab today in order to hypothesize about osmosis & diffusion next week.

Homework?  Complete the About You Survey and label the cell organelle handout.

Welcome!

I am so happy when students finally come back as my job is very strange (and really boring) without you!  I am really looking forward to our semester together!

You brave, brave souls!  Biology 11 at 7:50 in the morning!!  I will do my best to make this a lively class to help us all wake-up.

Course schedule will be every Monday and Thursday and every second Wednesday.  Class starts at 7:50 promptly and will finish at 8:50.  Please do not be late as we need to be very productive for our hour together.  Find full schedule here
