This course is designed to teach the student the fundamental principles of Biology and to prepare her to succeed in future biologically based courses on the high school and college level.  The curriculum is covered in greater depth and at a more accelerated pace than Biology. Honors Biology engages the student with demonstrations, laboratory exercises, case studies, debates, microscopy, and dissections as they discover Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cytology, Molecular Biology, Genetics,  and Anatomy and Physiology.  The course aims to teach students the necessary laboratory skills needed for success in science courses, such as observation, analysis of data, microscopy, and dissection.  Critical thinking and communication are an integral part of this course.
