Biology I

Biology I is the standard entry level science course for sophomores. A biology course is required by the ADE for graduation in Arkansas. Since Chemistry and Physics usually have higher math prerequisites they are usually attempted in a student’s junior or senior year. The course is laboratory-centered and investigates the major themes of biological science including: the nature of the cell, the chemistry of living systems, inheritance and a study of DNA, plant and animal anatomy and physiology, evolution, classification of living things, and scientific and social issues relating to biology. The course includes a required reading list, major writing assignments in the form of a science project, research paper, and/or related project. The course also includes group activities, oral presentations, and field work at the Lake Fayetteville Environmental Study Center.
