AP BIOLOGY (GRADES 11 & 12) 2 CREDITS

Prerequisite: Science 2 & taking or passed Chemistry

This course is designed to cover in-depth subject material to allow a college-bound student a chance to experience a duplicate of a first year college-level class and possibly earn college credits while still in high school.  The course is fast-paced, yet provides a rigorous comprehensive biology curriculum. Laboratory work will be used to allow the student to develop an understanding of the processes from which facts and theories are derived. Students are expected to take the AP exam in May; the fee for the test is the responsibility of the student.
