=Welcome to Biology!=

Biology is the study of life. In this course, we will seek the answers to various questions like the following:

 * What is life and how do we know if something is living?
 * What are living things made of?
 * Why don't all living things look and act alike?
 * What type of resources are needed for different things to live?
 * How do living things interact with each other?

==These are only a few questions that we will try to find the answer to, but their are many, many more. You will probably have several of your own, as well. That is what science and the scientific method are all about: attempting to solve problems and answer questions.==

__The Instructor__
My name is Tynell Mitchell and I am really excited about being your instructor for Biology this school year. I have liked science every since I was a little girl. I use to like looking at things under my microscope with my slides or gazing at the stars with my telescope. Throughout elementary and middle school, science was one of my favorite subjects. When I was in high school, I got the opportunity to attend the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science in Mobile, AL for my junior and senior years. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Tuskegee University in 2002 and my Master of Science degree in Continuing Education from The University of West Alabama (UWA). I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Education with a concentration in... (you guessed it)...SCIENCE. I taught science for a couple of years in the K-12 school system before going into administration in higher education so I understand what it is like being both a teacher and student. I hope that you find this course both interesting and fun, while learning all you can about Biology- the study of life.
