Biology & APES 

Biology

Biology is the study of living things. This course covers a variety of topics focused around five central themes: cell structure and function; mechanisms of genetics; biological evolution and classification; biological processes and systems; and interdependence within environmental systems. This program promotes scientific thinking through problem-solving, a process that encourages curiosity and careful inquiry. The teaching method will center on active student learning revolving around class work, group work, and laboratory investigations.

AP Environmental

This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory environmental science course. The course integrates the sciences, including biology, chemistry, and earth science with the social sciences to analyze contemporary environmental problems, such as pollution, resource acquisition, biodiversity, global warming and overpopulation. Students will examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing these environmental problems. A strong laboratory and field investigation component is included. Students should have a willingness to invest sufficient outside time to engage in enrichment assignments.
