Welcome back to SHS - I can't believe that the 2013-2014 school year is about to begin!

This term I will be teaching Small Animal Science, Plant and Earth Science, and Natural Resource Management.  I will be posting lesson plans for each of the classes weekly. 

Week 1:
Small Animal Science - Introductions and Course Syllabus
*Ch. 1 - Small Animal Care
*Ch. 2 - Safety
*Quiz - Ch. 1 & 2 - 40 pts./notes 5 minutes
 
Plant and Earth Science - Introductions and Course Syllabus
*The Promise of the Land - VHS
*Ch. 1 - Plant and Soil Science/Careers VHS
*Ch. 2 - Sustaining Plant and Soil Productivity
 
Natural Resource Management - Introductions and Course Syllabus
*Ch. 1 - Our Natural Resources
*Ch. 2 - A History of Conservation in the United States
*Ch. 3 - Concepts in Natural Resources Management
 
There is a textbook for all classes that is left in the classroom.  Students are welcome to check out a book at any time as long as they are returned to the classroom, as we are typically short of books and students are given time in class to work on assignments.
