到達目標


Students who complete this course will be prepared to take AP Biology class in H3. This class will provide students with a solid foundation in biology by introducing new concepts and by interlocking new ideas with previously studied material. Students will also have the chance to put their learning into practice through discussion, case studies, and projects.

授業の進め方・学習方法


Most classes will consist of a lecture followed by student investigation of learned topics and a homework assignment. Occasionally, individual and small group projects will be assigned. Frequent assessments and class discussions will help reinforce new vocabulary and concepts.
