This course is designed to be the equivalent of a typical college introductory biology course. The course uses a college-level textbook and laboratory program. The curriculum framework is centered on four big ideas: evolution, energy, information, and interactions.
In order to have extended laboratory time, class meets outside of the school day an average of three days per week. This college-level course will qualify the student to take the Advanced Placement Biology exam, which may provide college credit in biology.
