Hi, and welcome to Biology! My name is Mrs. Henderson, and this year I will help you learn all about the living things around us. Many of the topics that we learn can be applied to your lives. Some of the topics we will explore are cells, genetics, ecology, human body, and all of the six kingdoms.

I have been a teacher in Pine Tree ISD for 7 years. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Education. I majored in Secondary Education, with a specialization in Biology. I am a certified Biology and Composite Science Teacher.
