Biology is the study of life and the various processes that link all living organisms. Areas of focus explore, but aren’t limited to the structure and function of the cell, biochemistry, metabolism, genetics, evolution, ecology, and biodiversity. A large portion of class time involves lab work and the resulting experiences place emphasis on processes and skills of scientific thinking. Biology is recommended for the sophomore or higher level.
