Biology
This Biology class will primarily be focused on labs. Supplements for learning will also be provided. It is appropriate for both current & past Biology students. If your child is a current Biology student, they should also be reading a Biology textbook to ensure a thorough understanding of the labs.
I will generally follow labs out of the Berean Builders Biology course. It will provide 1 Honors credit for Biology.
This class is intended to be a full year. The cost is higher for first semester due to purchase of a dissection kit and microscope slide kit that we will be using for the full year. Cost should be very minimal second semester. We will be working in paired groups for labs. I should have 4 microscopes available.
Required: Students should bring a notebook to journal for labs.
