Welcome to the Web Site of Socrates, subject Biology. We present partly the topics, plans, tasks and aims of the project, but above all the results of our work. We have not finished it yet as the whole project is divided into three parts, each for one school year, and every school year into other two periods (see the Thematic Plan). But still we think that even this small part of our work is interesting and informative and is worth studying!
