I think that this first unit was a good way to start off biology for this upcoming year. This unit wasn't very hard because most of the information we covered was a review from last year. I enjoyed studying this first unit because we didn't spend it all just taking notes or watching movies the whole time during class. We actually got to get out of our seats and we were able to start doing experiments right away. Unlike last year during science, we spent at least half of the year just taking notes and watching either Mythbusters or Bill Nye the Science Guy episodes. Occasionally we did experiments, but not as often as I would have wanted.
The first unit was very interesting for me because I got to learn about something that I had never seen or heard of before and that was the cydia deshasisiana moth. I was stunned when we were told that the mystery object was holding a larvae. I thought that the mystery object was some sort of plant that moved when it was exposed to our type of environment and I wasn't expecting it to be holding something living inside. Overall I found the first unit very interesting and I hope that the second unit will be as fascinating.
