Welcome back Science Explorers! I hope you didn't forget all the physics and chemistry you learned last year. Remember to keep studying those topics as we move through the biology unit. The physicsclassroom.com is an excellent resources for physics. The Khan Academy is also useful for chemistry. If you would like to check out the "Balanced Science" textbooks to help you review, please let me know.
So, first things first. In reviewing the topics still to cover, there is still quite a bit of chemistry that will be useful to know as we delve into biology. We will spend the first quarter in picking up chemistry topics, such as: Air and Water, Sulfur, Carbonates, and Organic Chemistry. These topics are very closely linked to all life on Earth. It is all about cycles, and how elements move through the cycles...remember elements???? We have a new book this year, hopefully with this additional resource we can answer all your inquiring questions.
For a little fun, please post a comment indicating your favourite subject in science, either present or past.
Looking forward to a great year!
