Please go to EFHS biology on iLearn to view your assignments for the week. Students are expected to work on biology each day until you finish. All assignments are due by 11:59 PM on Friday. Please email Mr. Harrison with any questions you have.

While we are off school, all of your assignments will be on the EFHS Biology Assessments course on iLearn. Assignments will be arranged by week. Please make sure you complete each week's assignments by Friday at midnight. If you have questions, please feel free to...

This week, students will learn to... Obtain and Communicate Information: Evaluate the validity and reliability of methods that appear in scientific journals that attempt to test whether a behavior (effect) is caused by something learned or inherited in other organisms...

The following standard is an excerpt of one of the standards toward which we are working in Biology. Note the 3-dimensional nature of this standard. We are not simply learning "science concepts", but applying engineering practices to the core understandings, while...

Over the next several days, students will learn to... Obtain and Communicate Information from scientific literature adapted for classroom use to determine the methods scientists use to quantify a behavioral trait (boldness). Argue from evidence making a claim based on...

In the next several days, students will be learning to Obtain and Communicate Information - Integrate sources of information presented in text and pictures and relayed verbally to peers in order to develop a model for how different alleles (cause) can be inherited in...

Over the next several days, students in Mr. Harrison’s Biology classes will: Obtain and Communicate Information from scientific literature adapted for classroom use to determine the methods scientists use to quantify a physical trait variation (amount of white in tail...

Students in Mr. Harrison’s biology classes will... Develop models to provide mechanistic account of phenomena to explain what causes a behavioral trait difference and a physical trait difference in different juncos (effect) [UCSD juncos are bolder and have less white...

Students in Mr. Harrison’s Biology classes will Obtain and Communicate Information: integrate sources of information and analyze, interpret, and evaluate the most relevant and important pieces about natural selection (cause) to help explain the cause for why...

Students will Construct an explanation based on evidence obtained from our bacteria experiment, applying scientific ideas that we developed in lesson 11, to answer why some lines of descendants of a population of E.coli bacteria growing in different parts (different...
