Expectations
We will have a great time learning how to
analyze the data students collect, recognize
patterns in the data to explain diversity of living
organisms and how they are classified, how
they reproduce, and how genetic information is
passed from parents to offspring. They will use
different models to represent life systems,
understand ecosystems, and cycles of energy.
Students’ will use the concepts of natural
selection and fossil evidence to construct
explanations about the diversity of life they see
all around them.
I can’t WAIT to get started!
