Freshmen Biology and Honors Biology supply list

I wanted to go ahead and post this list of supplies for anyone who is shopping early!

I will update it when we have our first science department meeting when teachers go back to school, but I don’t think it will change much if any.

Personal Supplies:

Pencils/Pens

School-supplied chromebook

Headphones/earbuds

Folder to keep handouts (for Biology specifically)

 

Classroom supplies to donate:

2 rolls of paper towels and if possible, a box of disposable gloves for labs. (If you happen to come across XL gloves, that would be great to get some that size since some of my guys do not fit in the typical one size fits most!)
