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.
