Advanced Biology Course Overview - Period 7
Course Description:
This course introduces students to the concepts of organization of life forms, scientific theory, data collection, designing controlled experiments, and the chemistry of life. An in-depth study of a living cell is conducted to include cell organelles, cellular transport and respiration, and cell energy. The life of a cell, including mitosis, meiosis, DNA, and genes is explored including factors influencing heredity and genetics. Material is covered in more depth and detail than in the standard sophomore biology class with higher expectations for student performance and products.
