Class overview

In biology we build upon the concepts and foundations learnd in chemistry and IPELS and apply them to life.  Being a class for Juniors or Seniors, we increase the complexity and sophistication beyond a typical HS class for 9th or 10th graders.  Because my classes are either Honors or AP, we get even more in depth.   Memorizing will not be sufficient for a good grade, showing depth of understanding and an ability to apply concepts is vey important.  We will look at systems and not only figure out how they work, we will also look at what can go wrong.  We will emphasize connections between concepts and systems.
