Advanced Biology

   The topics covered in this course include a deeper investigation of animals from insects to mammals on Earth.   A insect collection will be required for all students. A fetal pig dissection will be done to study the anatomy of mammals and to simulate an autopsy.  Detailed study of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protists and how they affect humans.  Some Human physiology such as blood types and vaccinations will also be covered. In addition, students will study botany (plant anatomy and physiology).  A wildflower collection will be required of each student.  Some emphasis will be placed on research and scientific writing.  This class does not take the place of biology. This class can be used to graduate with honors as well as be counted as a lab based science for college acceptance.
