Biology - P

Picture
Welcome to CP Biology! I expect that you have enrolled in this course because you are interested in science and motivated to succeed.  Those of you who participate, work hard, and have fun will enjoy both positive recognition and success.

Biology is a yearlong study of living organisms, their environment and their relationship to one another.  This course is designed to introduce you to the major themes in biology and how they impact your daily life. My hope is that our study of the living world, including us, will deepen your appreciation of the beauty, complexity and interconnectedness of all life on Earth.
