Welcome!

Welcome to the Biology 7th Hour Blog! As always I am excited about anything that is related to science and this page is designed for you guys to create and open up lines of communication. I will try to make posts concerning different topics and you guys will have the opportunity to respond to my posts and each others.

First off, a couple of rules to start off...

1. All information written must relate to Biology class and must be appropriate.
2. When you create a user name, it must represent your last name so that I know who you are and can give you credit for anything that you post.
3. Be respectful of each other.
4. For assignments, all posts must be made prior to class starting.

Use the toolbar to the side to help you find specific posts relating to specific labs or practice problems or units.

This is to help you so please give me feedback on anything that could be useful or helpful to you!

Enjoy!

Evidence for Evolution

First assignment!

For your assignment every group needs to create a comment and describe their piece of evidence. This way when we get into our jig saw groups, you guys can pull up the website and refer to it as you explain the information. You will also be able to reference this late, like at test time. As you go back to look over the information tonight and do not understand something feel free to make a new comment and ask a question. I will do my best to answer your question so that all can benefit from your thinking!

Format for the Comment Post:

1. Piece of Evidence:

2. Definition:

3. Examples: (PS if there is a link that really had a good picture copy and paste the link in here!)

4. How it relates:


Signed: All group members names go here!

Unit: Evolution

Hey Everyone!

I hope that you have had a chance to get acquainted with the Blog. If you have any questions about this unit, please post them as a comment under here. If you are able to answer any of the questions with an intelligent statement (support it from either the book or the notes...ie "In the Early Earth Notes, we learned...") I will be willing to give you a point of extra credit as long as you do it before the day of the test. Sweet! Those extra credit points are hard to come by in this class.

If I notice that something is wrong I will try to do my best to post a comment to correct it!

Good Luck! Help each other!
