This is an accelerated Biology course. Although course topics are similar to that of Biology A & B, the rigor and depth of each of those concepts is elevated.
Topics of study include: biotechnology, cell structure and function, biochemistry, DNA, cell division, protein synthesis, genetics, evolution, microbiology, animal behavior, and ecology.
Students enrolling in this course should be self-motivated and thrive on academic challenge. Course content is accessed in part through blended/online learning with elements of student control over time, place, path and/or pace.
