Biology provides a meaningful view of the whole living world and its interrelationships. Topics such as taxonomy, morphology, physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, ecology and animal behavior are covered. This course will include dissections of various animals. In the Honors level of the course, environmental education will be emphasized. The students will be required to plan, develop, and complete an experimental science project and report the results in oral and written form. All students take the SOL test for Biology and must pass it to earn a verified credit toward graduation.
