Biology is about studying life, and since you're alive, it's really about you. Hopefully you'll find this very interesting!
Seek to improve your learning by polishing each project (page) in your notebook, until you've earned at least two stamps on each!

66 67 68 69 Human Organ Systems

For each of the 11 systems (that's what's in our book, it's possible to organize them a little differently) we need to know:
  1. Name
  2. Function (What it does)
  3. Organs (Which ones?)
  4. Disorder (describe at least one)
We'll be doing our presentations on Monday!
Check out this site for more information about body systems

and here's a handy reference for your notebook (pp.68-69)

65 Circle Map about Human Organ Systems

What do we already know (our brains are our sources - write that in green)
we are looking from the view of a BIOLOGIST (write that in blue)

63 64 Levels of Organization

We decided that this was the best way to show the levels of organization in terms of complexity.  Now just grab some examples and write the definitions

62 Progress Report

Fasten in the progress report, and get it signed by mom/pop/guardian.

61 Grade Reflection for the first quarter

Please reflect on your progress this past quarter in learning Biology - explain what grade you earned, and WHY you think you earned it. Spend some words describing what you've learned about how you learn best - and what you've done that has helped you learn. If you are having some difficulties, describe them.
