Class Description:     Biology
Biology is a full-year course. Students will study 5 major areas of focus to include:

1.  Molecules & Cells                                     4.  Ecology & Behavioral Relationships

2.  Heredity & Evolution                                5.  Nature of Science

3.  Classification & Diversity of Life

Comprehensive special projects are assigned and dissection is also required. Students must have the study skills to do independent activities and higher level thinking skills to deal with abstract concepts.  Biology meets the graduation requirement for a life science credit and is a core requirement for graduation. Students will be required to take an End of Course exam to show proficiency in these Biology concepts.

Class Description :  Botany

 Botany is the study of plants including structures and functions, classification, growth factors, role of plants in society. This course covers the basic concepts of plant biology to non science majors. Tree and flower classification and identification are stressed along with proper techniques for collecting and preserving plants.  Plants of Arkansas will be emphasized in the study of the division of plants. Botany meets the graduation requirement for a 1/2 science credit

 

Class Description : Zoology

  

INSTRUCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY:

 

Students will be given challenging projects and assignments typical of scientists in their field of study.  High quality work is expected.  Classroom activities will include reading, research, projects, labs, and problem solving.  Major projects will be presented to the class.  Students will often work in teams, but will be expected to complete individual assignments in relation to the team’s work,  Assessment methods will include written exams, tests and quizzes; oral and written research reports; labs, homework, reading assignments; and projects.              

 

EXPECTATIONS:

Everyone has the right to learn, therefore students should:

 

  •  Be respectful…to yourself, to others and to property.  
  •  Be ready…to engage, to learn.
  •  Be responsible…for learning, for teaching.
  •  Always do your best work.  Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it.  Autograph your work with  excellence.  Actively participate in class by asking questions and being ready to answer questions.
