HONORS BIOLOGY–11th Grade (Prerequisite: Physic & Chemistry & Teacher recommendation)
While the purpose and goals of honors Biology are essentially the same as those under the Biology heading, the course content is expanded to include the following: (1) an in-depth study of the biochemical nature of living things, (2) a more detailed study of the molecular and chemical principles of heredity, including the mating of fruit flies, (3) an introduction to the modem methods of biotechnology and (4) an in depth study of the comparative anatomy and physiology of representative organisms.
The laboratory portion of the course is an integral part of the science education of each student. It includes many hands-on experiences and use of modem technological devices to collect, analyze and record data that will help the students to develop the skills that will allow them to function in our complex world. In addition to those hands-on activities, individual students or student research teams will be expected to carry out an independent research project of their design and report the results at the end of the year. This class meets for 7 periods per week.
