Advanced Biology is a rigorous science course designed for students seeking an in-depth study of the structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution of living organisms. Students will explore advanced concepts in genetics, ecology, and biological systems, with an emphasis on critical thinking and scientific analysis. As one of the core natural sciences alongside chemistry and physics, this course emphasizes higher-level use of science and engineering practices. Students will explain complex biological phenomena, support scientific arguments with evidence, annotate and analyze scientific literature, design and evaluate solutions to biological problems, and make evidence-based predictions about how changes in one variable affect 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.
