Going+into+Biology

Students going into BIOLOGY Attention students going into Biology, you have been assigned a series of exercises in:

**ASSISTments** **Log in instructions can be found using the link in the left hand border** **access codes can be found on the wiki home page** 
 * After logging in and enrolling in your classes, you will see list of assignments that you must complete during the summer months. Some assignments are "Skill Builder" which allows you to attain mastery (thus complete) if you answer three consecutive questions correct without using any hints. Other assignments will require you to answer all of the questions in the assignment. Your classroom teacher will analyze your individual results and based on your effort to complete all of the assignments as well as your success rate on the assignments you will be given a grade for the summer enrichment in the first marking period. **

** Good Luck! ** ** WEBSITES, TUTORIALS AND VIDEO'S FOR BIOLOGY **


 * Below you will find some additional enrichment resources, your time and effort to explore and utilize these resources is a valuable step in preparing you for success on the assigned summer exercises as well as enhances the probability of your overall future success in this course next year. **
