Board of Education Curriculum Information:

1. Current Reality and Research*

In this course, students will engage in scientific inquiry, explore biochemistry, the cell, bio-energy,

mechanisms of genetics, and biotechnology. Students will also study change in organisms over time,

classification, and ecosystems. This course is designed to prepare students for A.P. Biology. Lab

experiences are an integral part of the course too. Common Core Literacy Standards for Science

and ISTE Technology Standards were reviewed and included.

2. Curriculum and Assessment Development and Revision

A. Curriculum Map/Pacing Guide – included in curriculum

B. Curriculum Development Review Feedback:

Content Leader review - [April 2015]

Director of Student Learning review – [April 2015]

Teacher/Administrator review-- [March 2015]

Summary of curriculum and revisions: Last Curriculum Revision – [February of 2010]

Teachers used Course Level Expectation standards, previous curriculum, current curriculum

template, and content knowledge to develop this curriculum. The new curriculum supports

Biology standards as well as preparing students for A.P. Biology. The course continues to focus

on science transfer goals that transfer vertically among all science classes. It also supports the

Common Core Literacy Standards for Science and ISTE Technology Standards for Science.

This new curriculum is designed to increase rigor and relevance while preparing students to 21st

century learners. These students will be well prepared for semester exams and the Biology

E.O.C. exam.
