Ms. Olivia Weigel - HS Science
About your teacher: I graduated from Iowa State University in 2020 with my Bachelor's degree in Biology, and in 2021 with my Master's degree in Secondary Science Education. I have been teaching at CHS since the 2021-2022 school year, and am excited to be back for another year of teaching! This school year, I will be teaching Biology and Zoology. I will also be continuing to be an assistant coach for our volleyball and soccer programs.
Courses taught by Ms. Weigel:
Biology: This is a freshman course that will be focused on living organisms and their environmental impact. We will have a combination of individual, partner, and group work, and students will have the ability to collaborate with many of their peers. First semester will focus on DNA and human genetics, and second semester will focus on energy and ecology.
Zoology: This is one of our newer science electives at the high school. In Zoology, students will learn about various animal groups, anatomy and physiology of those groups, as well as organization and body patterns. We will cover: classification, worms and insects, amphibians, birds, and end the semester with mammals. Zoology is a hands-on course that will include multiple dissections and will be centered around group collaboration.
I can't wait to kick off the new school year! Go Cats!
