Mr. McRobert's Class

Our goal is to prepare each student to succeed on the science portion of the Ohio Achievement Assessment.  Hopefully this website can play a role in reaching this goal.  Biology notes, study guides, important science links , and class updates can be found here.  More links and science stuff may be added as this site continues to evolve.
