Biology: 2012-2013 Classzone.com
For most chapters in the book – you will be required to spend time online preparing for class and
working through the chapter information, so that we can work on challenging labs, and problems in
class. Hopefully you will not be frustrated with difficult concepts and homework problems at home,
and we can work through these together in class! The first thing to do is to watch the podcasts. If
you find one that you like better than these, email the link to me, and it is worth an extra credit point!

Puzzle, Word Fetch, Word Scramble, Hang Ten)

Concept Maps: There are concept maps for each section in the chapter. You will drag and
drop into correct box.

Animations: This section gives you an excellent understanding of new concepts.

Quizzes: Each section has it’s own quiz. It is graded online (not by me!)  However, you

chapter.

There is also an Audio download of each chapter for your IPod or MP3 player
 All of these can be printed and used for a study guide
 There are also Activities; Animations; Research topics; and Assessments for every chapter.
Many of these will be required to be completed before class.
 Investigate “Resource Centers”; here you will find excellent images, and more activities to
solidify your biological knowledge!
