Required Materials
You will use the Miller and Levine Biology 2010 Edition for reading the text. This book will be supplemented with online lectures and Prezis which you will be asked to view and engage with outside of class time. This practice will allow you to view lessons multiple times and craft clarifying questions you have about concepts you do not understand.
This will also allow me to answer those clarifying questions in class the next class period so that you learn the information you will need to know. We will also have in-class exercises that will allow us to examine difficult concepts and improve mastery of those concepts.
Other materials you will need for this course include:
Suggested Materials: These are not required but may come in handy.

Other materials you will need for this course include:
- A composition notebook: This will serve as your laboratory notebook, where data will be collected and presented for every lab we perform in class. You will need to bring this to class daily. See the image below right for what this notebook will look like. If you are unable to purchase this notebook, please see me and we will work something out so that you have the supplies you need.
- A quad-ruled composition notebook, NOT A SPIRAL BOUND NOTEBOOK. A quad-ruled notebook is a graph paper composition book. This notebook will be your Interactive Science Notebook (ISN) that you will use on a daily basis. You are to bring this to class by the second day of school, as we will use it from then on. This notebook is to be brought to class daily, as we will use it nearly every class period. Be advised that you may need to purchase an additional notebook during the year, depending on how much you write in it. You may be able to purchase one from Mr Ahluwalia in class. These notebooks are available at Staples, Target or Walmart. I will supply you with the first notebook.
- A 1" binder designated for our class only, where you will store returned work such as quizzes, free response questions and practice exercises.
- Black/blue ink pens and pencils. Work to be submitted for a grade will not be accepted written in any other ink colors.
- Highlighters and other colored pens. We will use these during in-class exercises, especially as we work in our ISNs.
Suggested Materials: These are not required but may come in handy.
- A flash drive to store work done in class.
- A set of fine point markers to aid in color-coding your BILL.
- A zipper pouch to keep your pens, and highlighters in.
