  2. The study of living (or once living) things & how they interact with each other & their environment. Biology • Semester 1: • Unit 1: Bio, the Science of Life • Unit 2: Bio as a Science • Unit 3: The Chemistry of Life • Unit 4: The Cell & its Env. • Unit 5: Inside the Cell • Unit 6: DNA & Protein Synthesis • Unit 7: Cellular Reproduction • Unit 8: Genetics & Heredity • Unit 9: Human Genetic disorders • Semester 2: • Unit 10: Evolution • Unit 11: Classification • Unit 12: Ecosystems (& Populations) • Unit 13: Reproduction • Unit 14: Nutrition & Digestion • Unit 15: Transport • Unit 16: Gas Exchange & Excretion • Unit 17: Nervous Control • Unit 18: Movement

  3. Expectations • Attendance- prompt, daily attendance is crucial to success • Lab counts as a separate class • Materials- binder, pens, pencils • Absences- see me the day returning to school • to show HW that was due • pick up work that was missed • find out due dates for missed work • etc.

  4. Where can you find info about your child’s class? My website on the school’s faculty page.

  5. Homework • Due at beginning of class • Late HW generally not accepted • Exceptions… • excused absence • due upon return • extended time modifications • must show progress on due date & then have until next day

  6. Unit Cover Page & Book Work HW

  7. Labs • Submit on-time for full credit • -20% per day late (-10% per day for extended time w/ progress shown) • All safety rules must be followed. • Closed-toe shoes required. • Keep a pair in locker or in class just in case…

  8. Quizzes & Tests • Quizzes • at various points within chapter/unit • Tests • after multiple chapters/units • Announced • Review given

  9. Grades • Grades are earned not given • total points method (pts earned/possible pts)

  10. Placement for Sophomore Year • Based on 300 Algebra 1 grade • To qualify for chemistry • B- or better in 300 Algebra 1 • To qualify for earth science • No prerequisite • However, bio grade is a prerequisite for many future electives!

  11. Academic Integrity • Honesty is expected in my classroom • Cheating, copying, plagiarizing will not be tolerated & are serious offenses. • Occasional group lab reports or projects will be assigned, otherwise all work should be done independently. • When in doubt, ask!

  12. Extra Help & Contact Info • Extra Help: available by appointment • Encourage your child to ask for help a. s. a. p. • Tutoring should be a final step. • The tutor should contact me. • So we can be “on the same page”. • So he/she knows how I have approached the content. • Contact: • RGeithner@darienps.org • Parents + Student +Teacher = Keys to unlocking success
