Which lessons do we need to teach?

For those of you who like checklists, I made up a spreadsheet that has the chapter-by-chapter break down of the biology text. Some lessons cover multiple expectations. My spreadsheet has how many expectations each lesson meets. If you'd like a copy of the spreadsheet, instead of this form, e-mail me and I will forward it to you.
In order to teach to all of the content expectations, these are the lessons that need to be taught.
