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 am excited to be back at CHS for my third year of teaching! This school year, I will be teaching Biology and Zoology. I will also be coaching our JV3 volleyball team and assisting the girl's soccer teams this year!
Courses taught by Ms. Weigel:
Biology: This is a freshman and sophomore 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: insects, amphibians and reptiles, 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.
The 2023-2024 school year is going to be great, and I can't wait to see returning students and to meet all of my new ones!
