Welcome to all of my biology students at Kinnick High School. I am your teacher for the remainder of the 2009-2010 school year. My name is Rachel Nelson. I am originally from Illinois, but have taught in Illinois, South Carolina, and North Carolina. This will be my tenth year of teaching science. I have taught high school and middle school. For the last few months I have been working at The Sullivans School in special education. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to teach Biology at Kinnick High School for the 2009-2010 school year.
Biology this year will include the areas of: scientific method/inquiry skills, cells and cellular processes, energy flow in the environment, genetics, biological evolution/diversity, and the interaction of organisms in their environment. It is a lot and we will be very busy.
