COURSE OVERVIEW

What comes to mind when you hear the word BIOLOGY? Words like medicine,
plants, animals, humans, are typical things that most people think of. You aren’t
wrong if you thought of any of those words mentioned above, but in reality,
Biology is so much more than that. Biology is the science of life and of living
organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution and
distribution.
Biology 11
Ms. Martel

In this course we will be covering everything from viruses and bacteria, to plants
and animals. While you may not see the connection between some of the topics
listed above, throughout the year there are three themes that will be used to
connect all of our ideas together:

i) Unity and Diversity 



ii) Evolutionary Relationships 

iii) Ecological Relationships

TESTS/ASSIGNMENTS:
 If a student is ABSENT, they are responsible to make up all missed work. If
you miss a test/quiz, exam, or a lab, you will receive a zero unless the
following steps are taken:
 a parent or guardian must phone the school on the day of your
absence, and provide me with a note or phone call.
 if the absence is excused, the student must make arrangements to
come in and write the quiz/test/lab on their own time, either at
lunch or after school
 if the absence is unexcused, the zero remains
EXTRA HELP:
I am always available to assist you in your studies in science. Students wishing to
receive extra help should make arrangements in person or by email
(Danielle.martel@burnabyschools.ca) to meet with me at lunch or after school.
