S C 2 05 | G R A D E S 10 -1 2 | F U L L Y E A R
Prerequisite: Integrated Science Biology is a laboratory-oriented and algebra-based course that covers the study of life. Topics include the nature of science, the chemistry of life, cell structure and function, cell reproduction, DNA structure and protein synthesis, genetics, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, ecology, and the evolution of life in its many forms. Students are expected to become proficient in the use of laboratory equipment and the procedures and use of methods of science to solve problems. HONORS BIOLOGY
S C 2 10 | G R A D E S 10 -1 2 | F U L L Y E A R
Prerequisites: C or higher in Honors Integrated Science; teacher recommendation. Honors Biology provides an accelerated and in-depth approach to the study of life. It is a laboratory-oriented and algebra-based course that includes topics such as the nature of science, cell structure and function, cell reproduction, DNA structure and protein synthesis, genetics, biochemistry of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, ecology, and the evolution of life in its many forms. Students are expected to become proficient in the use of laboratory equipment and the procedures and use of methods of science to solve problems. Honors Biology students complete a summer assignment. Failure to complete the summer assignment will affect a student’s grade.
