Biology Class Information

See our full course description and additional information such as required supplies on our website.

High school biology offers an exciting journey into understanding life and its intricate workings. From exploring the microscopic world of DNA to examining the diverse array of animals and their interactions on Earth, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the remarkable design of life. Topics covered include the characteristics of life, biomolecules, cells, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, DNA, protein synthesis, cell reproduction, genetics, the classification of living organisms, and the kingdoms of life, encompassing bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. To accommodate different perspectives, students and families can choose their preferred approach to the topic of evolution and creation.

Throughout the year, students will engage in various labs to deepen their understanding of key concepts. These will include a mix of virtual labs and hands-on experiments conducted at home. Students will also learn to write lab reports and will submit several of these for review during the course. Upon registration, students will receive a lab kit by mail, containing materials for the year’s experiments. Additional materials needed will be common household items, such as dish soap, salt, and eggs.
