Week Number Ten- Biology Class Reflection

Biology has been a very interesting class so far. This is the first 'real' science class I've taken with labs that have been fairly consistent. In 6^th and 7^th grade, Mrs. Strode conducted labs with us but they were far and thinly spread throughout the year. Mr. Cole's environmental science class was all book work with an obvious absence of labs. Because of my lack of experience in the field, I was kind of dreading biology, which is understandable. I have always wanted a class where we were instructed to do various projects that were actually substantial. My favorite project has been the film project, by the way. In practically every class, I dread group work. I am an introvert (as it has been previously discussed) and don’t cope well in social situations, in my opinion. In biology, our group projects and activities are different and I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly makes that so. The terms ‘eukaryote’ and ‘prokaryote’ had been passed around in previous years but this is the first time I have ever had the terms actually explained in depth and in an understandable way because the background information was also provided.
