BIOLOGY CP
Below is a brief description of the course:

Biology investigates patterns, processes, and relationships among organisms. The core concepts are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of the complexity, diversity, and interconnectedness of life on Earth. Order in natural systems arises in accordance with rules that govern the physical world. The order of natural systems can be modeled and predicted through the use of mathematics. This course also makes connections between Earth and human activity. Students will demonstrate understanding through performance expectations. Lab experiences complement the core concepts. 

Recommended School Supplies:

I would recommend a sturdy three-ring binder that can hold loose-leaf paper, a 3-hole punched folder to put in that binder, and plenty of pens and pencils.

Finally, whether in the building or at home, students must have their Chromebook with them, charged and in working order. 

For additional detailed information, please see our syllabus.

Because this is an honors level course, be prepared to take charge of your own learning and to work at an increased pace. I'm looking forward to our year together.
