Students examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection & homeostasis. Students design experiments, investigate the structures & function of the human body & use data software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex & voluntary action & respiration.

Biology is a laboratory, college- prep course that deals with the fundamental principles of cell biology, genetics, evolution and ecology in alignment to the Next Generation Science Standards. The course develops laboratory skills and the scientific processes of observation, comparison, c o m m u n i c a t i o n analysis, and evaluation. The rationale of the course is to equip students with the skills and knowledge of biology that will prepare them not only for college, but also for making informed decisions about issues that relate to biology that they encounter in their daily life. There is also an emphasis on developing values and attitudes that promote student’s personal involvement in issues affecting the environment and our society.
