Biology
Biology is a fast paced, in-depth study of the major components of Biology as a science. Additional topics of interest may be covered in class, in groups, or individually. A high interest in science will help the Biology student produce the quality of work required and will foster success in this class. Biology covers the major components of Biology at an accelerated pace and in greater depth. This course also covers additional topics within the field of Biology and has an increased focus on higher-level critical thinking skills such as analysis, application, synthesis, and evaluation. Biology also demonstrates the integration of disciplines by applying math and statistics to scientific procedures and analyses, and by using the English language to present scientific results in a clear, concise, and complete manner.
Assessment activities are designed to measure growth in science content as well as problem-solving skills such as observing, making inferences, classifying, communicating, quantifying, predicting, hypothesizing, identifying variables, controlling variables, collecting data, formulating conclusions, and developing models.Please click for Course Syllabus.
