Welcome to Mr. Lavelle's classroom website!Tom LavelleIntermediate High School9th Grade Biology
Room #:203I am currently using the following websites:Global Science:Biology Course Description
Biology can be broken down into two major themes, the unity of life and thediversity of life. Students will study unifying concepts that all organismsshare. This will begin with a summary of how atoms can form organic molecules, how these organic molecules form cellular components, how cellsform tissues, and tissues living systems. The study of the diversity of life will include an in depth analysis of adaptive and structural characteristics found in each of the five kingdoms of life.Honors Biology

The study of the diversity of life will include an in depth analysisof adaptive and structural characteristics found in each of the five kingdomsof life. Honors Biology will involve more scientific reading and writing. Inaddition, the mastery of material is expected. Because of this, virtually allexams are explanation based and focused upon the application of acquiredknowledge.
