This sequence focuses on the scientific study of life. The course is lab-oriented.
Students investigate biology through inquiry and real-life applications of the concepts.
This laboratory course emphasizes basic chemical concepts and the impact of those concepts on society. Problem solving and decision making are emphasized. Students who plan to take Chemistry and Physics are advised to take chemistry first so that they can further their knowledge of mathematics during their junior year. The chemistry in this course is closely aligned with corresponding biological concepts. Major topics from Accelerated Biology and Accelerated Chemistry are developed, and laboratory work is a primary focus.
