This week in Biology Feb. 10-14

Dear Parents,

We have been exploring the amazing microscopic world of bacteria this week.  We also finished our SCIENCE/STEM Fair research papers.  The research papers are a large grade.  If your student is showing a missing grade they can upload the paper to infinite campus.

Here is our class schedule for the next week:

Monday
7.6  Bacteria Reproduction
7.7  Bacteria and Humans
In 50 words or more, describe how bacteria reproduce.  Then illustrate the process.

Just as a reminder, students cannot make up labs if they are absent, but they can take detailed notes and complete the practice sets for full credit.  I would love to hear any feedback or questions you or your student may have as we move forward in the year.  Feel free to contact me via email at any time.

Thank you again for sharing your wonderful student with us this year,
