Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, I will be teaching AP Biology and Nature of Science. This is the first time that ELGHS will be offering AP Biology, and I'm very excited to a part of it. This is a college level Biology course that should be considered for students in their Junior or Senior year. This is particularly appropriate for those students considering a science-based degree or career field. At the completion of the course students will have the option of taking the AP Biology exam. A satisfactory score on this exam will grant the student college credits for their first Biology course in college (ex: Biology 101).
Nature of Science will change slightly from previous years in that it will now run for 1 period for the duration of the school year instead of the back to back periods first semester. The content and approach to the course will be similar to how it has been in the past.
To make room for these courses in my schedule, I will be handing over General Science to Ms. Baxter, who will be teaching Math and Science courses at the high school this year.
