Schedule Changes due to the snow...

General Biology:  The snow on Thursday did not affect our schedule.  Bring a #2 pencil on Friday (1/13), and we will start the DNA unit after the 3-day weekend.

Honors Biology:  We will  NOT have the Respiration test on Tuesday! Friday (1/13) will still be spent going over the oxygen lab and the "active living things" lab.  On Tuesday (1/17) we will go over the review and activity one.  I will also have some review materials on my website (document manager) to help you review for the test.  Since Wed. has shortened classes, we will start the next unit (DNA) on that day.  The test over respiration is now on THURSDAY, Jan. 19th!
