a teacher's report card

I didn't do a great job documenting this fall semester, but maybe these few pictures can give you a sense of Ms. Chang's classes. The first three are models of the atom (as it has evolved in the last century), investigating pendulum motion, and an ornate force diagram. The next two are wrapping DNA into chromosomes and candy models of DNA (used to learn replication, transcription, and translation). And then came the state tests.






Physical Science: 100% passing. Slightly more than half of my students scored in the highest level.





Biology: 90% passing on first try. 100% passing after second round of testing. Half in the highest level.

I am very proud of my students.

Ecology studies the interrelationship between organisms and their environment. It originates from the German word okologie, first used in 1873.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
What would be the hope of being personally whole in a dismembered society, or personally healthy in a landscape scalped, scraped, eroded, and poisoned, or personally free in a land entirely controlled by the government [or corporations], or personally enlightened in an age illuminated only by TV? - Wendell Berry
