Biology 

     My favorites subject is biology out of all my classes. I have it period eight and my teacher is Mr. Colarusso; check out his website here. In biology i expected to learn about the main themes of biology: evolution, heredity, cellular organization, metabolism, reproduction, symbiosis and homeostasis. In those categories are topics such as: mitosis, meiosis, animal/plant cells and different cycles. Science has always been my best subject and I find really interesting.

      I have learned many things in biology things so far this year, and have plenty more ahead. In the beginning of the year I learned about the nature of science and scientific method. Then, we studied ionic and covalent bonds and how to transfer electrons to different elements to make them stable. After that I learned about ethics and cell structures and what each organelle does. We also learned about mitosis and its stages of cell division. Currently I am learning meiosis and the make-up of chromosomes: meiosis and two stages and chromosomes are in pairs and humans have 23 pairs. 
         The grading policy is exactly the same as my other classes. In biology my favorite project was when we had to create a three dimensional model of strand on DNA. Other projects I like is when we have to draw a cycle, cell or diagram. In biology we use technology basically everyday such as: the projector, the computers or electronic microscopes. I also get homework assigned everyday, and we complete a study guide about every two weeks and then take our chapter test. Here is a link to what we are currently learning about.
