Welcome to www.zunick.com!

Welcome to the Honors Biology course website! Please take a good look around. You’ll be using this site quite a lot this year...

For a sneak peek at the “curriculum” for Earth Science, Biology, and Honors Biology, check out www.zunick.com/zunickisms.

During remote instruction and/or a hybrid schedule, assignments will be posted on Google Classroom. However, students will still use this website to download slideshows, lecture notes, labs, handouts, etc.

Contact me via email if you have any questions.

Slient Reading Tips

Thursday, September 3, 2020

When you read, pay attention to vocabulary words (in bold), explanations that describe HOW and WHY, and pictures/charts. It is also a good idea to review the questions at the end of each section. Although they are not graded, you should attempt them. You should self-reflect after each reading to make sure that you have understood what you read.

If you read the material and don’t understand it, and then do poorly on the quiz, it is as if you didn’t even bother to read! You need to develop ways of comprehending what you read. See Mr. Zunick at any time if you need assistance.
