Honors Biology is a one-year course with a hands-on, collaborative approach to projects and experiments. Topics include cellular structure and functions, genetic materials and regulation, ecosystems, energy cycles and habitat conservation, and evolution of organisms and their physiology. By the conclusion of this course, students should not only be able to understand processes of biology, but be able to think like a scientist, design experiments, and problem-solve as a group.   To take this course, students require ESL level 3 or higher. Returning students must be recommended by their previous teacher. New students need suitable placement test results.
