Honors Biology introduces the student to the distinguishing properties of living organisms. Students will explore the nature of life, cell structure and function, genetics, energy dynamics, ecology, and evolution. Laboratory experiments will emphasize problem-solving techniques with hands-on experiences. Additionally, the curriculum of this course is designed to address the College Board objectives and to utilize AP Vertical Team strategies for Advanced Placement Science courses in an effort to lay important foundation work for future enrollment and success in AP Science classes.
