Science:  Our Environments Unit has begun!  This interactive and hands-on unit consists of six modules that will  introduce the students to basic concepts in environmental biology.  We hope to further develop an understanding about organisms and their role in various ecosystems.  We are comparing and contrasting beetles and isopods as we study environmental factors in the classroom.  

-”So far as we know, the environment we enjoy here on Earth is unique in the universe.  There may be not other planet like it.”
