Each week students will meet online and discuss and go over the week’s lesson and topic. During the week students will have reading and homework and tests to be done in required book set. Teacher will grade work and guide and/or demonstrate labs. This course takes the burden of biology requirements off the parent and places it on the student and gives them a guide to support them and lead them. Students will have weekly homework, tests, labs or projects most weeks as well.
