This document provides an overview of Mr. Romero's 7th grade biology class. The class will cover five units: cell biology, genetics, evolution, earth and life history, and ecology. Students will participate in online discussions and have access to class notes and assignments through a class website. Labs and activities will reinforce biological concepts. Students will take a field trip to Eagle Rock Reservation where they will use technology like cameras, GPS, and video to document their observations and human impact on the environment. Students will be evaluated based on lab reports, quizzes, tests, and a project on the field trip.
