Biology 1 Honors

Biology 1 is an introductory lab course (minimum of 30% hands on investigation) designed to teach the structure and function of cells and their organelles; the flow of energy within and between living systems, the molecular basis of heredity; biological evolution and the diversity of life, and the interrelationships among organisms and the biotic and abiotic components of their environments. It provides opportunities for students to develop science process skills and, critical thinking, through inquiry‐based learning experiences. Investigative labs are an integral part of this course. All Biology 1 students take the SC End of Course Exam which determines 20% of their final grade.
