Progress In Biology

The things I am most proud of in Biology so far are The Evolution chart, the Evolution video and the classification pictures we drew. The Evoltuion chart is something I am proud of becasue it was really confusing and took time to figure it out. But eventually my partner and I figured it out and I thought we did a good job on it. I am also proud of the Evoltution video my partner and I did becasue we had to make a video of ourselves explaing DNA, natural selection, the gene pool and speciation. It was kind of difficult because we kept messing up and had to keep redoing it, but it was a lot of fun to make the video and I think my partner and I did a good job. I thought the pictures we drew were good and I think we explained everything well. The classification pictures we drew are also something I am proud of because we had to draw 4 pictures for each speciation. My partner and I put a lot of effort into being creative and coming up with cool ideas. I think we did a good job on it. My binder is clean and organized. It is easy to read and access. So far I have three sections. One for Bacteria, one for DNA and another for viruses. I don't have any incomplete work. I have completed all the work that has been assigned and try to complete them on the day it is posted. I pay attention in class and follow instructions. I think my work habits are good. The blogs that I am proud of are the Animal Taxonomy, the Evolution and Natural Selection, and the Viruses. I am proud of the three blog posts the most because I had to do research for them and I learned the most from doing these blog posts.For the Animal Taxonomy blog I learned about the scientific names for different species. I learned about flamingos and why they have long necks and legs from the Evolution and Natural Selection blog and I learned about Malaria and how it is caused and how it effects humans from the Viruses blog. I also learned about the structure of viruses and if they are living or non-living from the viruses blog. To me engagment in class means being involved with discussions and asking/answering questions. An example of engaging in class is staing your opinion about something you learned in class. Asking questions about soemthing you don't understand is engaging in class.My goal for biology 11 is asking more questions and volunteering to do things.I hope to learn a lot more about living things becuase it is something that I find interesting. My biology 11 class is a bit different from all of the other science classes i've had because we dont take a lot of notes and we don't answer a lot of questions on paper. This is the first class I have had where we use blogs to post most of our work. I think using blogs is easier and less stressfull. I find it easier to explain things and talk about what I have learned. I like how we do a lot of projects instead of worksheets and tests.

  1. Great post Gurleen. I really like the items that you are proud of - things that you found challenging and still figured out. That's kind of what learning looks like! You are doing a great job so far this semester in Biology. Keep it up.
