9th Grade: Week of November 3-7

Hello,
We are starting a new unit this week: Unit 6: Microorganisms and Fungi. This unit includes Chapters 19 (Bacteria and Fungi), 20 (Protists), and 21 (Fungi). We will be using the microscopes over the next few days. As there is a lot of new terminology and ideas presented, the only homework is DUE this Friday (Nov. 7). It is:
19-1 Section Assessment (p. 477): Questions 1-4.

Next week we will conduct a debate related to the discussion on page 484 of our biology text: Should Mass Vaccinations Be Required? On Tuesday-Thursday (Nov. 11-13) student groups will conduct research to support their view. The debate will be on Friday, Nov. 14.
Email me or see me if you have any questions/concerns.

-Mr. Pfiester
Reminder: Biology check-out forms are due back this Friday (Nov. 7).
