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 2011-2012).

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 2011-2012).
