The test serves two purposes. First - it gives an indication of how much you already know about the life sciences. Second - a comparison with the post test at the end of the year will show how your understanding of life sciences has improved. Science can be defined as a never ending search for truth. Truth is based on a set of facts and our understanding of those facts.
Science is science, no matter what general topic is involved.
Science in school is usually taught in classes that are limited to a general area of interest, but the methods of science are a part of our daily lives. Biology is the second year science class at Frontier High School. This class will cover a wide range of topics from the cellular basis of life, to human systems, to Earth's environment. Students are expected to improve their work habits, skills with computer applications, and Internet research during this school year. Much of this class is self-paced with the curriculum divided into daily assignments on the website.
