Welcome to Honors Physiology! I expect that you have enrolled in this course because you are interested in science and motivated to succeed. Those of you who participate in class, work hard, and have fun will enjoy both positive recognition and success!
This year, we will examine the anatomical structures of the body, while focusing on the relationship between their structure and function. All body systems will be covered from a microscopic to macroscopic level.
This website gives you access to calendars, assignments, due dates, and notes for every unit! Please bookmark this page and look here whenever you have any questions about the course!

Semester 1 Final
PART 1 - For the first portion of the semester 1 final, you will be participating in a one-on-one interview with your physiology teacher! Of the 10 questions provided (see attachment), your teacher will ask you 5 at random - you are expected to carry out a conversation showing your understanding and competency of the material. We expect appropriate interview behavior and practices, such as speaking in a clear voice, making eye contact, being prepared/professional, etc. (See rubrics attached below!) You are encouraged to prepare answers in advance, however you will not be allowed notes in your interview session.
