Honors Biology

Prerequisite: “B” average in science

This course explores biological principles in depth and in a comprehensive and accelerated approach. The course examines: ecology, cell biology, genetics, evolution, microorganisms, plants, vertebrates, invertebrates, and human biology. Students’ understanding of biology is fostered through laboratory investigations, problem solving, and critical thinking activities. This course, while allowing students to explore and explain concepts of biology, prepares students for the SAT II Biology examination.

Biology

The term biology is derived from the Greek word bios, meaning "life" and the suffix -logia, meaning "study of." The term first appeared in 1736 when Linnaeus used "biologi" in his Bibliotheca botanica.
