Welcome to Ms. Bedford's Class Website!
Please use the drop-down menu above to navigate your way through our page. The tab titled State Standards shows the Virginia Department of Education Standards as well as what we have already assessed on this year. The SOL and Year Review page has practice assessments and practice assessment questions broken down by unit. You can also visit the Amoeba Sisters YouTube channel and follow along with the handouts accessible on the review page (scroll to the bottom). Beyond that, you can work your way through our units of study and visit the individual unit pages for more practice and content.
Options for Learning:
1. Please visit this page (April-June 2020 subpage) to see weekly assignments that will help you stay on track. The posted assignments are what we would be doing if we were still in school- while these are standards we have not tested on, the content is not new (you learned it in 7th grade and we have discussed the big ideas throughout our early units). Additionally, there are resources provided that allow you to use digital platforms instead of paper-based assignments (the digital platforms have embedded quizzes to check progress). There is a suggested timeline on this page.
2. Use the SOL and Year Review subpage to revisit units that you struggled with. These are most easily identified by using your practice SOL score report and looking for my highlights. If you are enrolled in Bio II: Surveys next year, you should look over viruses (in Unit 1) and the content we studied in Units 2 and 3. You will need to know about types of cells and will spend time going into great detail while looking at bacteria. If you are enrolled in Bio II: DNA, you should look over Units 2-7 with a heavy focus on Units 5 and 6. Over the remaining seven weeks, you should complete one unit per week to review all of the previously assessed material (Week of April 27- complete the Unit review handouts for Unit 1 as well as the Amoeba Sisters Videos and handouts for this unit).
