"Good morning, everyone. Please take your seats."

"Please study the worksheets I am handing out now. There will possibly be a quiz next week before our first lab. The possibility is almost as certain as George W. Bush's ability to abuse the English language."

"Biology is not one science -- it is dozens of different sciences, each with its own set of tools and techniques, theories and questions, puzzles and paradigms. Here are some examples of biological sciences:

* Biochemistry: biological molecules and their interactions; metabolism
* Microbiology: bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic organisms, and their interactions with other organisms
* Botany: plant structure and functions
* Cytology: cell structures and their functions
* Physiology: functions of tissues, organs and organ systems, such as the muscular system, the nervous system, etc.
* Genetics: the mechanisms of heredity, including its molecular machinery (DNA) and its observable consequences (e.g., genetic diseases).
* Evolution: the mechanisms by which populations change over time
* Ecology: the interactions of organisms with each other and their environments.

Homework: Look up one theory of evolution and write a brief summary.

"In order to work within any system of science, one must understand the basic units of measurement."

length - metre (meter): m

mass - kilogram: kg

time - second: s

electric current - ampere: A

thermodynamic temperature - kelvin: K

amount of substance - mole: mol

luminous intensity - candela: cd

Homework: Choose a unit of measurement and write a short story using that unit of measurement. Be creative.

Tell me you're here.

Mac signs in and sits down to wait for the rest of the class.

I am here!

((But the mun is ill so that would be all for today :S))

For all three classes today.

Isn't that just the best news ever?

~~Kicking Dr Obnoxious out of the log in~~

Connor wanders in a few paces behind his brother. For, you guessed it, ALL THREE CLASSES with Ms Sidle. He's not stalking her. No, really. He's not.

Togusa's Tochikoma signed in with a bar code and a brief explaination about how he was feeling under the weather. "He's going to be all better after he wakes up, and I can give him the assigments!"

Quinn's totally here.

Buffy helps take attendance

Ditto.

Edward blinks slightly in confusion at the homework. Writing a short story...? That was different. He quickly wrote up a story about mass, and a chimera he ~~okay, well, his brother~~ had tricked out onto a ledge that wasn't capable of supporting its weight.

Fred signed in and frowned at the homework assignment be creative...I need Evelyn for that sort of thing. Sighing a little Fred studied the sheet trying to think of a story to go with the measurement.

Sawyer trudges into the room, he doesn't look like too much of a happy camper right now but he does the short story anyways, and it's on time.

Allie's here

Murphy's short story winds up being about a bit of target practice back when he was twelve and the various distances the bottles and cans had been placed from where the boys stood.

Connor writes quickly, and scribbles out his first couple of sentences that have to do with their ma's favorite answer to the age old question, of which twin is older. Probbaly not the sort of measurement she wants.

He starts over, after flashing a quick look at his brother and writes about how Ma taught them to shoot cans and bottles off a fence post, and how they gradually incresed the space between shooter and target.

He's not entirely sure that's the most appropriate topic either, given the school's anti violence policy but there is a shooting range available to students and target shooting is more about aim and accuracy than about violence, so he turns it in anyway.

Buffy signs in and takes notes

Chat amongst yourselves.

Bother Ms. Sidle.
