1 Biology H Students have the opportunity and assume responsibility to use data and principles to complete a problem or task with minimal teacher direction. After identifying biological problems, they analyze, synthesize, and evaluate these problems to formulate possible solutions. They develop strong laboratory skills. Students are encouraged to use technology in their attempts to deal with biological issues. This is the second course in the four-year honors sequence.
Students use an inductive approach to understand some of the major concepts of chemistry.
It is a fast-paced course which requires students to do independent research and to have a strong background in algebra. If a student does not earn credit the first semester, they can not continue taking the course second semester without the approval of the department chair. This is the third course in the four-year honors program. Students learn about mechanics, dynamics, light, wave motion, electricity, magnetism, and planetary motion as interrelated components of the study of physics. They focus on the importance of theoretical and mathematical models to the study of the universe.
