AP BIOLOGY - Syllabus

This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course.  It aims to provide students with the conceptual framework, factual knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the rapidly changing science of biology.  Primary emphasis will be on developing an understanding of concepts rather than on memorizing terms and technical details.  Topics will include molecules and cells, including the chemistry of life, cells, and cellular energetics; heredity and evolution, including heredity, molecular genetics and evolutionary biology; and organisms and populations, including the diversity of organisms, the structure and function of plants and animals, and ecology.  Extensive college-level laboratory experiments are an important part of the course.  Students will be required to attend additional class sessions on a regular basis (Curriculum Guide 2009-2010).

HONORS BIOLOGY - Syllabus

This course, fast paced and in depth, provides an overview of the complex web of interdependence that is formed by the environment and the living organisms that inhabit it.  It is designed to build from the microscopic world of the cell to the macroscopic world of the organism.  Students will study the following topics: cell structure, homeostasis, photosynthesis, genetics, evolution, zoology, ecology, and human biology.  This course utilizes laboratory experiments to give students the opportunity to “learn by doing.” Students are expected to conduct two semester-long independent projects and may require additional time before school on a regular basis (Curriculum Guide 2009-2010).


MARINE BIOLOGY - Syllabus

This course provides an overview of the biology and the ecology of the marine environment and the organisms that inhabit it.  Studies begins with a survey of the physical ocean and the special problems it creates for its inhabitants.  In the remainder of the course students study the organisms that live in the ocean, from microscopic algae to macroscopic vertebrates.  Other topics include: oceanography, food webs, adaptations to the diverse marine habitats, and the natural history of marine invertebrates and vertebrates.  This course utilizes laboratory experiments, fieldwork and animal observations to give students the opportunity to learn by doing (Curriculum Guide 2009-2010).
