Ms. Vikingson’s Life Science Blog

As I stated in class today, the online access code for the textbook was not correct.  I have now remedied this problem and you can all now sign up using the access code CEC5681BB803A22AAE9A (please make sure there is not a space AFTER the “A” at the end. Hit backspace to make sure). Once the actual books are distributed, they will go home with the students and are to remain there until the end of the school year.  The texts are brand new and are a great resource for our class.  Students may use just the textbook, a combination of the text and online text, or just the online version of the text.  We are asking that if a student would like to use the online access only, they must have permission from their parent stating this.  You can simply write a quick line of permission and signature at the bottom of the online access sheet I gave your child today.  Please take advantage of all the book has to offer by going online and using the access codes provided within the text to gain access to games, vocabulary, crosswords, etc.  They are very useful tools to make studying tests easier and more interactive!  Plus, by using solely using the online texts, we may have enough books remaining to create a classroom set that everyone may use for projects, to do homework during downtime, etc.

Following the directions below, you will be able to gain access to each and every page of the text, including an assortment of enrichment activities, quizzes and tests.  After registering, you should print off the info below to keep track of your user name and password.  I can also assign quizzes and assignments to kids who have registered so they may check their mastery of certain topics.  It is a great way of assessing your knowledge of the topics as you prepare for in-class tests!
