Welcome to Biology

"Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction."


Biology- the study of life - living structures and their form, function and interactions.   
Neil deGrasse Tyson said: There is no true understanding of Biology without Chemistry.  And there's no true understanding of Chemistry without Physics.

And yet, the education system has it backwards, prescribing a biology first approach to learning before building a strong foundation in chemistry or physics.  Is it any wonder than so many students are frustrated and defeated with science classes instead of experiencing a fascinating world of discovery and connection?  Advancements in science in the last half century only highlight the need for reform in the way we teach science to children.  Integration of disciplines should be maintained through 12th grade with a holistic approach to understanding and the methodology of science as a process.  Problem solving and critical thinking are skills that should be at the heart of all science learning.
