Honors Biology Curriculum - Full Year

Evergreen Science Honors Biology Curriculum was designed to build a solid foundation of key biological concepts for students planning to take AP Biology later in their academic career.

Rigorous and fast-paced, this curriculum is centered around essential knowledge for advanced learners. This curriculum is classroom tested - 85% of students who have taken this course outperformed their peers when taking AP Biology.

Each 45-minute lesson day begins with bell work that functions as a quiz over the previous day’s concepts. After completing guided notes during the PowerPoint, student understanding is immediately reinforced with targeted activities (full labs, micro-labs, in-class drawings, group activities, etc.). To ensure individual success, each day ends with an exit survey to enable teachers to track each student’s progress.
