Science
can be defined as a never ending search for truth.
Truth is based on a set of facts and our understanding of those facts. A
good scientist must be ready to accept new facts as they are discovered
and modify what is "true" in light of these facts. Science is
science, no matter what general topic is involved. Science in school is
usually taught in classes that are limited to a general area of interest,
but the methods of science are a part of
our daily lives.
Biology is a "Life Science".
This class will cover a wide range of topics from the cellular basis of
life, to human systems, to Earth's environment. Students are expected to
improve their work habits, skills with computer applications, and Internet
research during this school year.
Saving Assignment Files:
Downloading Internet Files:
* Any files downloaded from the Internet are automatically saved on your
computer Desktop.
* To download pictures, just drag them from a webpage to your desktop.
* If you decide to use a downloaded file for an assignment, move it to the
Student Directory on the hard drive (HD) and change the name using the system
described in the next section.
* If you decide not to use the file, drag it to the Trash.
* DO NOT leave files on the desktop!
* It is ok to have files with the same name, as long
as they are different file types - such as doc, ppt, htm, or gif.
If you ever have to save more than one of the same type of file for one day's
assignment, just add a letter after the number of the day. (example) djo092a.gif,
djo092b.gif, djo092c.gif, etc.
