Biology 12/Advanced Biology 12

First Semester and Second Semester

Both Biology 12 and Advanced Biology 12 explore the nature of science and technology and the interaction between biology and technology as well as the impact of biology and associated technology on society. Themes include change, diversity, energy, equilibrium, matter, and systems.

Units of study for Advanced Biology 12 are the same as those for Biology 12:

Unit 1: Maintaining Dynamic Equilibrium II,

Unit 2: Reproduction and Development,

Unit 3: Genetic Continuity,

Unit 4: Evolution, Change, and Diversity.

Students in Advanced Biology 12 will have multiple opportunities for independent study of topics in depth and will complete a significant independent research project that relies on investigation (study, experiments, innovation, or a combination).
