Biology Honors

Grade 9 - Full year - Once credit

The Biology Honors course is for ninth grade students who have completed Earth Science in the eight grade and/or have been recommended for this course by their eighth grade science teacher. The course parallels the New York State Regents core curriculum, with substantial quantities of additional information being provided for the enrichment of the students. A greater emphasis is also placed on laboratory activities. Students take the New York State Living Environment Regents exam at the conclusion of this course. Students who successfully complete this course are encouraged to take Chemistry Honors in the tenth grade.
