Biology is a foundational science course that explores the structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution of living organisms. Students will study key biological concepts, including genetics, ecology, and the relationships between organisms and their environments. As one of the core natural sciences, alongside chemistry and physics, this course emphasizes the use of science and engineering practices to deepen understanding of biological phenomena. Students will explain concepts using evidence, support scientific arguments, analyze and annotate scientific texts, design solutions to biological problems, and make predictions about how changes in one variable may impact other variables within living systems.

All students are required to take Biology , Pre-AP Biology, or Dual Credit Biology. Students will take the mandatory Biology End of Course (EOC) Exam at the completion of this course.
