Biology
I Honors Y is
an accelerated course designed for students interested in pursuing advanced
sciences or careers in the science or engineering fields. Students will
learn and understand biological processes that occur on the molecular,
cellular, systemic, and environmental levels. Students will also be
able to implement applications of biological processes to everyday
situations. |

AP
Biology A &B is
designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course
usually taken by biology or other science majors during their first
year. The Advanced Placement course in biology differs significantly
from the usual first high school course in biology with respect to the
textbook used, the range and depth of topics covered, laboratory work done by
students, and the time and effort required of students. It provides
students with the conceptual framework, factual knowledge, and analytical
skills necessary to deal critically with the rapidly changing science of
biology. Some students, as college freshmen, are permitted to undertake
upper-level courses in biology or register for courses for which biology is a
prerequisite after achieving an adequate score on the optional Advanced
Placement Examination. |

Chemistry I Y
is an accelerated introduction to the study of the structure, properties and
functions of matter, and is the foundation for a variety of fields of study
as well as the basis for much of modern day industry and economics.
Because of the abstract nature of atoms and molecules there is a strong
conceptual component in its study, including both qualitative and
quantitative laboratory work and mathematical analysis. At the honors
level there is a significant amount of mathematics. |
