1. Which unit did you like the best? (either semester).
The unit I liked talking about was the different parts of the body, because it taught me a lot that I don't know about the body.

2. What did we not cover in class that you had wished we had covered?
I can't think of anything that we didn't cover in this class that we didn't learn. You nearly taught us everything we need to know for biology!

3. What unit taught you the most?
The unit that taught me the most was with the punnet squares, just because freshman year I wasn't taught a whole lot about them, and now I know a lot about them.

4. What unit did I do the best in teaching you?
ALL OF THEM! Your such a great teacher, I couldn't chose one.

5. What unit do I need to improve and what are your suggestions?
None. Mrs. Snow your such a great teacher you are so organized, and know how to put everything in order for your students.

6. What was your favorite online lab?
My favorite online lab was probably none. Haha. Just took so long, and online labs taught me somewhat.. but you teaching was always better.

7. What was your least favorite online lab?
My least favorite was when you had to count the flys, I hated that one because it took me forever to count them.

8. Do you think that there were too many, too few or jussssst right amont of tests/quizzes? And why?
There was just the right amount. Why? Because every unit we covered we took a test on, and that helped us and you know what we have learned.

9. What was your favorite project?
My favorite project was the Baby project. It was fun, and you needed to put art work together and I love art work projects.

10.Would you like to see more or less group projects? why?
More group projects, just because there more fun and I tend to learn more with a partner rather than on my own project.

11.What was your favorite blog? why?
Favorite blog was this one. It was the easiest, and putting my own comments into what I think about this class was good thing for you and me(:

12, What was your least favorite blog? why?
Probably "NoBODY knows the Trouble I've seen", because it took forever to place the oragns in the right direction and them actually being right.

13. Did you like all the science songs? which was your favorite? (ATP)lol!
ATP! :D hahaha! I will never forget any of your science songs Mrs. Snow!

14. Suggestions for making biology more interesting...
More lab days!(:

15. I want to thank you for everything Mrs. Snow. It was so fun to have you as a teacher and I learned a lot in your class. Have fun, next year! I will miss your class! & NO doubt that I will be by to see you! Keep up the good work, and always remember "DONT DO IT!" LOL!!

Period: 3

1. I liked the unit about learning parts of the body. I mean yeah kinda odd haha, but I learned a lot of things that I didnt know.

2. Uhmm, I feel that we covered everything that we needed to learn in Biology.

3. Well, id have to say all the units taught me a lot. I cant decide!

4. Yet again, its another one I cant decide on. You taught me a lot of things that I would of ever known. So thank you!

5. You dont need to change anything! Youre such a great teacher, and made things fun1

6. Well, I didnt have a favorite one haha. They took FOREVER, I prefer you teaching.

7. Id have to say the stupid flys, so much counting took so much time!

8. I think that it was the perfect amount of quizzes because right as soon as you were finished with a section we would take it.

9. My favorite project would have to be when we could make the cake for the cell? I think that was what it was about. But anyway, it was cool making the cake and decorating it as how the cell or whatever it was looked haha.

10. Id say put more group projects! Its fun being able to work with friends, and get a good grade while working!

11. Id probably have to say this one haha. Its simple and I get to have my opinion haha.

12. I liked all the blogs actually. they were a lot of fun and very entertaining.

13. Oh yeah defiantly haha. ATP was defiantly my jam ahah!

14. Nope! Keep doing your thing Snow! Your class is always such a blast!

15. Thank you for making my sophomore year fun. It was awesome having you as a teacher.(:

1. Which unit did you like the best? Out of everything I have learned this year, I love most things that have to deal with DNA, so genetics and how they can mutate and how they replicate and change to RNA.
2. What did we not cover in class that you had wished we had covered?
In the section that mentioned our sense, I wished we could have gone deeper into the knowledge of how the systems work.
3. What unit taught you the most?
The unit on the body systems, how the body is connected and such.
4. What unit did I do the best in teaching you? The Natural Selection Unit was planed out very well.
5. What unit do I need to improve and what are your suggestions? You did an awesome job of teaching all of the units, none need any improvement.
6. What was your favorite online lab? At my other school we did a GEL lab that was quite fun.
7. What was your least favorite online lab? Science is one of my favorite subjects,so I liked them all.At my other school we did one on the Osmosis, and the movement of water in and out of an Egg, it was quite long and tedious.
8. Do you think that there were too many, too few or jussssst right amont of tests/quizzes? there were a perfect amount of questions that were short, yet covered the miniscule details of the assignemnt which required you to reread your notes to make sure you do well.
9. What was your favorite project?
The Position paper on Designer babies was fun to research and learn about.
10.Would you like to see more or less group projects? I wasn;'t here for any group projects, but they are always fun to work with someone that actually knows what they are doing, instead of having to do all of the work yourself.
11.What was your favorite blog? why? This is probably my favorite blog to do, b/c I can give my feedback.
12, What was your least favorite blog? why? The one that had you place bones and other body parts correctly in the slots. It took a long time.
13. Did you like all the science songs? which was your favorite? The songs were quite funny, I enjoyed the Animal Parody the most.
14. Suggestions for making biology more interesting... Hands on labs make it more interesting and fun for the student.

1). I liked the Ecology unit best.
2). I wish we could have covered more about minerals and rocks.
3). The Ecology unit taught me the most.
4). The best unit you taught me in was the Human Body unit.
5). The one thing you need to improve is making the guided reading more difficult. You could make the students do it in small groups or maybe individually.
6). My favorite online lab was the “What did a T-Rex Taste Like” lab.
7). My least favorite online lab was the Peppered Moth Lab.
9). My favorite project was the position paper.
10). More, because I think that students work better when they have other people in a group to help them out if they needed help.
11). My favorite lab was the “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen” because it had very informational games.
12). My least favorite blog was the “Who is Your Daddy?” blog because the games were harder, but still very informational.
13). I liked the ATP song!
14). I would say having more projects would make biology more interesting.
15). Thanks for being an awesome teacher Mrs. Snow! I loved your class!

7. What was your least favorite online lab?
The peppered moths.
8. Do you think that there were too many, too few or just right amount of tests/quizzes? and why

9. What was your favorite project?
The cycles of matter bottle project.
10.Would you like to see more or less group projects? why?
More, because working together can be very helpful for some people.
11.What was your favorite blog? why?
Down in the Dumps because it taught me a lot about how the environment can change
12, What was your least favorite blog? why?
Nobody knows the trouble i've seen, because it kind of was just showing you where things were in the body it didn't go into really good deep detail.
13. Did you like all the science songs? which was your favorite? (ATP)lol!
Well the best one was probably the ATP one.
14. Suggestions for making biology more interesting...
Probably work with us (the kids) a little more but other then that u are a good teacher.

13. Did you like all the science songs? which was your favorite? (ATP)lol! I like the ATP one because it super catchy!
14. Suggestions for making biology more interesting... Maybe some dissections?????
15. Any final comments. Thank you for being a great teacher. I really enjoyed your class. It was a lot of fun. I will always remember the ATP song! I hope my fellow freshman class wont be too bad. And I hope to see you soon in the future.
