What's in an Organism's Name?

Long time, no talk (or blog in this case). I have been slacking at updating this. Now that I am finally caught up hopefully I can stay on top of this site a little more.

In class we are studying the living world. Once we have a basic understanding of what living things are, we can move on to how the non-living world interacts with our living world.

First- we need to understand taxonomy and how organisms get their name. Since we do not have a book to take home, all notes are being done in class. If you missed some spaces check out this link to help you fill in the blanks.

Meteor Shower Tonight!

Did you miss the meteor shower in December? If so, now is your chance to catch another glimpse of a "shooting star". We should have a much better view of the night sky since the moon is waning (becoming a new moon). The hours to view are between 10-4, with the best time being early morning on the 4th. Good luck and bundle up!
