Honors Biology
Is it for you? Honors Biology offers students the opportunity to explore key biology concepts in depth. It is a fast-paced, demanding course. It is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to be challenged in the sciences, and who are willing to work very hard to fulfill those challenges. Students are expected to recall and build on the material they studied in Life Science, Physical Science and Earth Science, or to review those subjects on their own. To be successful in the class, you must come to class having read your assignment, and you must be ready to further investigate the topic through discussion and labs. There will be daily or weekly quizzes on the assigned readings.
What Honors Biology is NOT. This is not an advanced or 2nd year Biology class. This is not an Advanced Placement class; it is not designed to prepare you for the AP Biology Exam. We will not cover every topic in the text, nor will we squeeze two years of biology into one. This is not a class for students who find science easy and do not expect to do any work; there is plenty of work for everyone! You should not take this class because you think it will look good on your transcript, or because your parents want you to take it. You have to really WANT to be in this class. If that is why you are here, you will work hard, have fun, and learn a lot. More information about the course can be found below.
