BIOLOGY HONORS
Credit: 1
Grade Level: 10
Prerequisite: Algebra I ( previously completed or currently taking)
Standards of Learning Test required
The same curriculum covered in Biology, is taught in Honors Biology. However, Honors Biology is writing intensive, requiring additional research more in-depth knowledge, and more labs.

BIOLOGY II *(2006-07)
Credit: 1
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: Biology I, Chemistry and Algebra II (previously completed or currently taking)
Biology II is intended to provide depth and breadth in the biological field. It provides a comparative study of structure and function of living organisms and the means by which they carry out vital-life functions. Consideration is given to dilemmas that confront our age, the need for critical thinking and the means by which one may gain factual knowledge. Laboratory experience is provided.
* Classes may be alternated between even and odd years. At least one will be offered each year.
