Completion of 2 semesters of Pre IB Biology plus 1 semester of IB Biology will prepare a student for the Subsidiary Level exam. Completion of Pre IB Biology and 2 semesters of IB Biology will prepare a student for the Higher Level biology exam. S31 Biology Botany is the study of plants and their relationships to the environment. Students investigate plant growth, plant reproduction, plant hormones, plant identification, and ecosystems of Boulder County. Field and Laboratory work complement classroom activities.
Students develop skills in scientific methods by designing and carrying out their own experiments.
S31 Biology Anatomy and Physiology is designed for students interested in investigating mammalian structure and function through the dissection of mammals such as a cat or mink. Students relate structure and function of the animal dissected to human anatomy and physiology. M31 Alegbra 1 S10 Physical Science Chemistry is the study of the properties of matter, the changes that materials undergo in chemical reactions, and the conditions necessary for those changes. This course provides a composite of laboratory, mathematical, and scientific background appropriate for the college-bound student. This course uses discovery learning as much as possible to promote well informed, inquisitive, scientific thinkers.
