Course Description
The Biology course is an in-depth look at the fundamental characteristics of living organisms. It is designed to promote scientific inquiry and discovery. The students will be introduced to the structure, function, diversity, and evolution of living matter. This is a course with real relevance. It encourages curiosity and provides opportunity for students to work on hands on lab activities and develop relationships through collaboratively learning. Engaging in the study of biological science broadens the picture of the world around us.
This class uses Cornell Notes in an Interactive Science (composition) Notebook.
The Biology End of Course Exam (EOC) is used along with the quarter grades and semester exam grade to determine each student's overall final GPA for the course. There is no semester grade for Biology as it is a yearlong course.
