Hello! I am Mrs. Shelly Aull, and I teach Biology I Honors, Anatomy & Physiology and AP Biology at South Spencer High School. I am also the assistant softball coach. This is my first year at South Spencer (11th year of teaching) and my goal is for each of my students to have a positive experience in my classroom! I want for students to enjoy learning something new and see the real world application of this knowledge.
I am a graduate of the University of Evansville (Aces! Aces!) with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I received my teaching certification from the University of Southern Indiana, and then completed my Masters in Biological Sciences with Clemson University. My three children attend Luce Elementary and my husband is the HVAC instructor at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center. The purpose of this site is to provide resources, schedules, and easy communication. Click on the links for each course to access the course for information. |
Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy and Physiology is a year-long, two-credit course that can be used as a college prep course or for preparation for a health related technical program or career. Grades will be based on classroom and laboratory course work. Anatomy of the human body is studied as well as body systems and functions in detail. This course is at least 25% laboratory work. Topics include medical terminology, the physical basis of life and the systems of the human body. This course is also available as a CAP course (BIOL 105) through USI for college credit and is a course available on the Core Transfer Library.

Biology I HonorsBiology I Honors is an advanced, year-long, two-credit course based on regular laboratory and field investigations that include a study of the structures and functions of living organisms and their interactions with the environment. Biology I will cover four major units based on the Indiana state standards and to prepare students for the ILEARN exam to be given in the spring: Cellular Structure and Function, Matter Cycles and Energy Transfer, Interdependence, Inheritance and Variation in Traits, and Evolution. Focus will be placed on developing and using models, analyzing data, constructing and communicating explanations, and evaluating claims with evidence. Storylines will be used to make connections between scientific phenomena.

AP BiologyAP Biology (Biology II) is a year-long, two-credit course that offers students the equivalent of a college freshman Biology course. Participants throughout the United States will be tested in May with a standardized exam which will determine the students eligibility for college credit. On a scale of five, a student must score a three or higher to be eligible for college credit. The primary goal of this course is to provide students with a factual and conceptual background which will prepare them for the AP examination. This course follows the Advanced Placement curriculum established by The College Board and is more than 25% laboratory work.
