This class provides an introduction to the biology curriculum that students will cover in their junior year of high school. The class is based off of the AP Biology course outline and aims to give students an overview of the concepts, such as cell organelles, cellular energetics, heredity, and gene expression, that they will encounter in any level course. The class’ curriculum and pace is targeted towards grades 7-10, but all are welcome, and no prerequisite knowledge is required.
