Intensive Summer School - High School Biology (Honors). We will cover basic topics of life science that are typically covered in first part of high school biology curriculum, including scientific methods, chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, metabolism, mitosis/meiosis, and human genetics. This high school biology course is designed to give students a detailed understanding of the concepts that lead to success in other advanced courses, such as AP Biology and AP Environmental Science. 

CLASS FORMAT:
The lectures will be delivered via hand-written class notes and PowerPoint slides.  The material of the class is intermediate. This course is suitable for those who like to get challenged on a daily basis.

UPCOMING TOPICS: Attached in the syllabus 

OPTIONAL LAB EXERCISES: 

For each lab exercise, there will be demo/pre-lab with the teacher, and the following week will be lab exercises/lab reports/lab quiz. They will be completed outside of the class time. 

Lab Exercise 1: Enzymes and Lactose Intolerance

Prior understanding of the subject is not required; all that is required is an open mind and an interest in the information provided. Therefore, the topics will not cycle back to the beginning or if new topics will be introduced in upcoming weeks; the meetings will not build on knowledge, skills, or assignments from previous weeks.

Learning Goals

The students will be able to learn diverse topics that are typically covered in the first semester of high school biology curriculum.
