Objectives for Chapter 1

Welcome Bio 1, Bio 3, and Bio 4 students! To focus your learning for chapter 1 section 4, I thought of posting the objectives you are expected to achieve:

- Describe the measurement system most scientists use.
- Explain how light microscopes are similar and different.
- Describe two common laboratory techniques.
- Explain why it is important to work safely in biology.

Have a great year! Ms. Dimatulac

Genetics Practice

Hi ladies,
You'll find some useful resources below that will help you in better understanding concepts you're learning in genetics. We will also use some of these resources for the interactive lessons we will do in the computer lab.
Enjoy your exercises and self-tutorials! Ms. Dimatulac
