Life Science Sd (Period Per 6) Assignments

Life Science is the study of living things. Adaptations, environment, microscopic organisms, cells, and pattern changes will be explored. Plant and animal classifications along with other simple organisms and the study of their reproduction systems are designated. Appreciation for our living eco systems and some ways of protecting them are introduced and hopefully find fertile soil. Students will see themselves as a part of a great biological system that must be nurtured and maintained so life will thrive.

This class has been developed so the students can have knowledge and express themselves on the subject in this ever evolving world. The SPHS Expected School wide Learning Results (ESLRs) will be followed so students will be able to think and produce in a variety of ways, communicate effectively, be resourceful, and be responsible and accountable in their community and beyond. Because of the expectations and guided work exploration of this class, the students will be headed towards the mission statement of South Pasadena High School which is to empower/enable students to think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, solve problems, set and reach goals, and work cooperatively and independently as responsible citizens of the community

The Common Core Curriculum Standards are guiding the subject matter in the class work, homework, tests, and projects so that 21st century skills can be obtained for life beyond high school.
