Week 17: Change Through Time
Mrs. Partin's Biology Class

This week, we will be exploring how species of organisms change through time and theories of why and what caused those species to change. We will also learn about general characteristics of the different Kingdoms of living things and how scientists go about organizing them.

I am a Nationally Board Certified Science Teacher with 9 years of teaching experience in North Carolina. In addition to teaching one block of Biology at Trinity High School, I am an instructor for North Carolina Virtual Public Schools and teach students across multiple classes of Physical Science. I am also a wife to my husband of 11 years and a mother to 3 children ages 8, 5, and 4 as well as a foster mother. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, serving our church in the areas of missions, as Co-Director for the Upward Basketball program, and on the music ministry, spending time with my family, reading, playing my flute, and running. I look forward to getting to know each of my students as they learn Biology!
