Welcome to Mr. Arthur's science class.  We will be spending the next two years together adding to your understanding of how the world works.  This year we will study biology, or living organisms- how they are put together, function, and interact.  Next year, you will study astronomy, chemistry, and physics.  Science, like all subjects, is something you do as well as read about,  so be prepared to gather data and interpret it yourself.  Finally, we often spend time outdoors, because that is where most of the living things are.
