WRHS BIOLOGY

Biology offers students a progressively larger view of the world around them. A solid understanding of the processes of life allows students to make scientifically informed decisions related to their health and to the health of the planet. Students in Biology study life through cell biology and genetics (molecular level), vertebrate anatomy and physiology (tissue and organ levels), and ecology (organism and population levels). Current issues related to topics of study will also be discussed. A focus of the course will be on developing an understanding of the interrelationships between the topics presented. This course will help students prepare for the MCAS biology test.
