    Biology Curriculum:

    Welcome to Biology!  We are looking forward to a great year and hope you are excited about this class.  Biology is the science of life and of living organisms.  Because we are living organisms, biology has special meaning. Through the study of biology, you will gain insight into the living world around you and a deeper understanding of yourself.

    Our curriculum is based on unique storylines that will include student investigations. These storylines cover all the Arizona State Life Science Standards while creating a fun and exciting science experience. The curriculum is meant to be student driven and spark critical thinking. The following storylines will be covered throughout the year:
