Online classes for science

Hi all,

I hope everyone is safe and well.  

So here's the deal, when you get a chance, go to www.zoom.us and sign up for a free account.  You can use your Google account or Facebook account if you wish.  When you sign up you'll be prompted to download a "Zoom App" for the computer (or the phone for that matter).   Once you have that you will be ready to go.

You will want to do this before class time to make sure you're all set.

About 15 minutes or so before class I'll send a link that will take you directly to the class.

There's no need to have your camera on so please feel free to keep those turned off. 

Looking forward to "seeing" everyone soon!.

Best,

Jim Mueller

The homework "quiz" for bio

Hi folks,

I'm still getting used to the Canvas quiz thing so this week's "quiz" is quite tricky to do well on.  Even if you get the right answer, if you don't get it EXACTLY right it doesn't give you credit.  I'm going to go in after you guys do the assignment and just mark the grade a full 100%.  Do the best you can, and be sure to study the answers so that you know what's right and wrong for future quizzes but don't worry about spelling errors or other minuscule problems.

Sorry about the frustration on this.  A lot of new stuff to learn in this new world of online grading.

Best,

Jim Mueller

3/20 Biology update

Hi all,

The assignments have been uploaded to your Canvas site so you should all be able to take a look.  I've also redone one of the charts to put it in a slightly easier to read format for one of your homework assignments.  This chart and the picture on the Canvas site are primarily the same information.

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Best,

Jim Mueller

Graded quizzes sent

Hi folks,

The graded quizzes have been sent so you should have them in your email.  Let me know if you don't see them.

3/20 Biology class update

Hi all,

I'm missing having class today.   I hope you all are doing well.

Next week we will be having an online class.  I'll provide more information as we get closer but I've been using a service called Zoom and it is working very well so far.  It's actually kinda fun!  

I will be posting your homework to the Canvas site so be sure to sign up for your membership and take a look if you haven't already.  There will be some chapter reading and questions that you will be responsible for. There will also be an online assignment posted as well.  There is no quiz this week, but there will be next week (through Canvas) so be sure to spend some time really understanding the five basic kingdoms and the characteristics of each one.  The online assignment will focus on the most important aspects for you to know for next week's quiz.

I'll also be emailing you pictures of your most recent quizzes later today as well.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any problems.

Be healthy everyone and I'l "see" you all next week.

Best,

Jim Mueller

Re: New information for Biology

Thanks, Jim.

What is the next step, once we have registered?

We cannot see any materials posted. Should there be any?

Will the classes be streamed through this platform? specifically, will there be an online Biology class today at 1:15?

Thanks so much,

Imke Nickelson

New information for Biology

Hi folks,

I hope everyone is doing well out there.

Some NEW INFORMATION however, I am going to begin to use a service called Canvas in order to assign work, accept work and keep track of grades. I believe this will make things much easier for all of us as we go forward. This will be how you'll see your assignments, quizzes and grades as we go forward. Parents are also going to have access to the site and they will also be able to have access to grades and assignments as well.

Soon you should receive an email with the subject "Canvas Free For Teachers". This has the link for you to click to register for the Canvas site. All you should have to do is click on in and then accept the invitation and you'll be all set.

Be safe everyone!

Best,

3/6 Biology Recording - Review and Speciation

Part 1

Part 2

3/6 Biology update and homework due 3/20

Hi folks,

First off, no class next week due to Spring Break!!!  Have a great break everyone!

This week we wrapped up our discussion of evolution by looking at the process of how organisms can evolve to become two distinct species.

We ran out of time for this video today in class but I'd recommend watching it if you get a chance.  It's about 8 minutes long and does a very nice job explaining the concepts of speciation.

For homework this week read pages 317- 330

Do questions on pg 332

Numbers 2, 6-19 and 21 - 25
