Biology

We are about to embark on a journey to uncover the secrets of the world around us through observation, experimentation, and readings from the greatest scientists of all time. The year will be divided into units ranging from single biochemical molecules to the intricate relationships between all living things.

Honors Biology is designed to give the student a more challenging and in-depth experience of the North Carolina Essential Standards in Biology. This means students are expected to work more independently on a variety of assignments and accept greater responsibility for their learning. These students are also expected to: design and carry out several independent investigations of biological questions, read and report on recent research in biology, and demonstrate a more in-depth conceptual understanding of all biology objectives.
