11th Grade Biology

11th grade biology is a college-prep science course that aims to challenge students to think and work on a post-high school level.  The course content is modeled after a college general biology course, though not in quite the same level of detail.  The major units include: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Genetics, Evolution, Ecology, and The Human Body.  Students will learn how to write a college-level lab report, gain experience performing labs, and research several current biological issues.
