International Baccalaureate @ Granada High School
Biology IB SL (P)
IB Biology SL is designed to match the rigor of a college-level introductory biology course, and investigates the unity and diversity of living organisms on the molecular, cellular, organic and ecological levels, thus covering microbiology and macro biology. The course focuses upon genetics, evolution, human reproduction, physiology, cell respiration, neurobiology, and immune systems with strong emphasis on studying the interrelationships between organisms and environments as well as the relevance of biological principles to human beings.
Prerequisite: “C” or better in laboratory science class that meets UC/CSU “d” requirements
Biology IB HL1 (P)
Description: This two year course is designed to match the rigor of a college-level introductory biology course, and investigates the unity and diversity of living organisms on the molecular, cellular, organic and ecological levels, thus covering microbiology and macro biology. The course focuses upon genetics, evolution, human reproduction, physiology, cell respiration, neurobiology, and immune systems with strong emphasis on studying the interrelationships between organisms and environments as well as the relevance of biological principles to human beings. Students are asked to formulate critical questions, transform their questions into testable hypotheses and present their findings using appropriate scientific vocabulary and information technology.
