About The Teacher

Education

 

My name is Eli Furr and I teach introductory biology and biology one. I graduated from Mississippi State University with a Bachelor's of Science degree and a minor in microbiology.  I also received my master's degree in secondary education from MSU.  I am also working on my specialist degree in Educational Leadership from Mississippi College.  I love the subject of biology and I hope to implant that in your children.  I'm looking forward to a great year!



Experience

This is my eighth year as an educator and I am looking forward to learning just as much from your children as I hope they will learn from me!

*Students will have vocabulary words to study for a quiz each week of school.  

 

Standards Covered

 BIO.5 Students will Investigate and evaluate the interdependence of living organisms and their environment. 

BIO.5.1 Illustrate levels of ecological hierarchy, including organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere. 

BIO.5.2 Analyze models of the cycling of matter (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water) between abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem and evaluate the ability of these cycles to maintain the health and sustainability of the ecosystem. 

BIO.5.3 Analyze and interpret quantitative data to construct an explanation for the effects of greenhouse gases on the carbon dioxide cycle and global climate. 

BIO.5.4 Develop and use models to describe the flow of energy and amount of biomass through food chains, food webs, and food pyramids. 

BIO.5.5 Evaluate symbiotic relationships (e.g., mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism) and other coevolutionary (e.g., predator-prey, cooperation, competition, and mimicry) relationships within specific environments. 

BIO.5.6 Analyze and interpret population data, both density-dependent and density-independent, to define limiting factors. Use graphical representations (growth curves) to illustrate the carrying capacity within ecosystems. 

BIO.5.7 Investigate and evaluate factors involved in primary and secondary ecological succession using local, real world examples. 

BIO.5.8 Enrichment: Use an engineering design process to create a solution that addresses changing ecological conditions (e.g., climate change, invasive species, loss of biodiversity, human population growth, habitat destruction, biomagnification, or natural phenomena).* BIO.5.9 Enrichment: Use an engineering design process to investigate and model current technological uses of biomimicry to address solutions to real-world problems.*
