You will find information pages for the 2 classes I teach below.
| Biology is a year long, lab science course that focuses on answering the question "What is life". Students study both microbiology and macrobiology using various lab equipment like microscopes, gel electrophoresis, and computer simulations. We cover such topics as cells, ecology, classification, DNA structure and replication, genetics, anatomy, and evolution. |

IB
Environmental Systems
is
a year long lab science class that focuses on how humans interact with
the environment. Students first learn about ecology and the
history and future of the human population. Knowing this
information, students then learn how humans impact air, water, and soil
systems. Students will learn outdoor field techniques while
learning about the world around them. We will also discuss how
economics and politics drive environmental decisions.
