      Big Ideas Math

      Moby Max is used as a great review of concepts that have previously been taught in class. If you are in my 6th grade math class, I have assigned a current topic for you - Statistics! Don’t forget - the more minutes you spend on Moby Max learning, the more minutes you gain for Game Time.

      Khan Academy is a wonderful resource for students who need more examples of problems and they do an excellent job with providing instruction for concepts that are taught in math class. If you happen to forget how to perform a calculation, just type in the concept into Khan Academy and they will provide you with several examples!

      Each student in the 9th-grade Biology class has access to videos, online activities, unit reviews, etc. from their online textbook. We are currently working on Chapter 10 on Evolution and if the students access their student resources they should have a plethora of material to review and learn from.

      This site is for the Introduction to Forensic Science students that need a middle school background in the various concepts

      This site is designed for the Introduction to Forensic Science...This teacher's site has activities for hair and fibers, serology, and toxicology units that will be utilized this year. Follow Mrs. James' notes, worksheets and activities to keep you updated on these concepts in Forensics.

      For the students in the academic biology classes, there are semester quizzes that can be a source of review and reinforcement for the biology units covered so far. Also, they are designed to be taken more than once.

      This website is designed for the introduction to Microbiology class. When you access the site, go to the bottom left where a tab says" Ecology" There are four areas that have to do with prokaryotes, eukaryotes and the environment. They are the Human Microbiome, Model Earth, Astrobiology and Extreme environments. There are activities, notes, interactive activities and projects that have to do with chapter 4 on types of Microbes.

      This site is for 9th grade academic biology and advanced biology. When you access the site, locate the "classes" tab on the right side at the top. The biology is divided into two sections 1A and 1B--We are currently working on Evolution and the material can be accessed on class 1A chapters 15-17. There are notes, power points, activities and practice sheets to do.
      For the advanced Biology, underclasses locate the AP Biology section and find the unit 8 on Evolution with the notes, worksheets, and activities for this unit on Evolution.

      This Georgia Tech site has many short biology videos that reinforce concepts covered in class...enjoy!!!
