Biology

Welcome to Post Falls HS

It has been a long journey from 1890 to the present.

1970’s

Come on in and take a seat. My name is Greg Cossette. I have

taught biology at PFHS since 1974.

This is biology, which can be the gateway to life because of its many uses outside of the classroom. My

job is to facilitate your child’s learning, in science and life skills.

My goal is three-fold:

1. to prepare for further learning

2. to successfully master the science portion of the ISAT

3. to become successful, happy, contributing members to the human community

Classroom Activity• We read basic material from the text (and

other trusted sources), expand upon it, and discuss it as we study each topic

Classroom Activity• We will have labs and activities in class as

well; some activities may have to be finished at home…….which means………

Homework !

Getting credit for work• Written work is handed in using the

correctly labeled in-box

• Excused make up is AB in the gradebook (no effect on the average)

Notebook

• Checked work is returned to the out-box in the back of the room for retrieval; keep it in a notebook for further use!
