 * __Class Description__**Biology is a required class for graduation that focuses on the study of life on our planet. Topics may include but are not limited to: classification, arthropods, chemistry of biology, cellular structure and function, cellular reproduction, sexual reproduction and genetics, principles of ecology, ecosystems, populations, bacteria and viruses, plant structure an function, plant reproduction, worm, mollusks, fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds. Students will be required to draw, color, and label biological materials such as organism systems, microscope slides, and macroscopic studies in a sketch book. This is a lab based course that includes microscope usage and basic animal dissections. Students will utilize the scientific method with written lab reports while demonstrating correct usage of laboratory equipment. Safety is ALWAYS the number one priority in the laboratory.
