This introductory laboratory-based course is designed to familiarize the Honors Biology student with the major concepts of biological science:

  • Cells as a System

  • Energy Transfer

  • Heredity – Inheritance and Variation of Traits

  • Biological Evolution – Unity and Diversity

  • Ecosystem Dynamics

This course provides numerous opportunities for students to develop science process skills, critical thinking, and an appreciation for the nature of science through inquiry-based learning experiences. Investigative, hands-on lab activities that address the high school inquiry standards are an integral part of this course. (South Carolina Board of Education)
