Course Details

Biology is a science course that introduces several key biological principles to students. This one-year laboratory course pays particular attention to the scientific method as a means to solving questions concerning the natural world. The aforementioned principles cover five areas: cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and animal systems. These principles are applied to the exploration of viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. Students are guided through these topics by lectures, group work, laboratory observation and dissection, and school ground field trips. This is a required course for all sophomores.
