Hello! Welcome to "Advanced Life Science For All: Weekly Biology Classes For 13-16 Year Olds". In this weekly ongoing course, we will cover a large range of topics in the field of biology. This course is perfect for students in high school who would like to study biology at an appropriate level. It's also a great fit for students who are entering high school who already have a passion for biology and would like to learn at a more advanced level, especially learners who have previously enrolled in "Life Science For All! Weekly Biology Classes For 11-14 Year Olds" and need more of a challenge! Please see the following schedule for class topics. More class topics will be added as time passes!
