Course Description:
This course is a college preparatory course designed for students planning on pursuing careers in the natural sciences or health related sciences. The course has a lecture and lab component that provides the student a rigorous curriculum that places emphasis on topics in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, heredity and genetics, plant structure and function, animal structure and function, ecology, and evolutionary biology. This laboratory-oriented course utilizes college level materials and offers units of study in experimental design.The student w ill be required to do supplemental reading assignments, engage in class discussions, and complete both individual and group projects. An individual research project is required of the students on a topic of interest to the student and teacher’s approval. This class meets six periods per week for lab.
