Biology (Period 1)

This year long course will be both interesting and challenging. In this course we will explore the nature of the biological sciences according to facts, theories, history, phenomena, themes and applications. Students will learn essential observational, investigative, and analytical skills. Topics include: ecology, features and functions of the cells, DNA and genetics, physiology and evolution. We will cover a lot of information in this course following California’s Next Generation Science Standards.
Students will also learn and develop effective study habits, note-taking abilities and scientific reading skills. A Students success depends on their performance in and out of class.
