Honors Biology is a rigorous course that is strongly recommended for students who are interested in careers in medicine, engineering, and other sciences. This evolution and molecular-based course emphasizes inquiry and process skills, quantitative and statistical analyses, laboratory skills, scientific writing, problem-solving, and is designed to prepare students for Honors Chemistry, Advanced Placement Physics 1, and other Advanced Placement science courses. It is NOT a survey course of all of biology, rather it is focused on biochemistry, molecular biology, inheritance, evolution, and genetic engineering. Topics will be covered in greater depth and detail than in Biology. Students can expect 2-4 hours of weekly homework assignments.
