Biology Honors (1.0 credit)

The purpose of this course is to provide exploratory experiences with hands-on laboratory and real-life applications in the biological sciences. Students will study the nature of science, including matter, energy, and chemical processes of life. They will understand life from the structure of cells to the structure of larger plants and animals. Students will also study the behavior of organisms and the interdependence of organisms, humans, and life.

Honors level courses require students to utilize higher order thinking skills such as analysis and synthesis, while completing more rigorous assignments. In addition, more emphasis is placed on research mastery and project based learning.
