**Course overview:** This is the first science course taken as a high school student. Students in Biology will spend time throughout the course improving problem solving and critical thinking skills by investigating concepts in Biology. Instilling foundational skills for higher level science classes begins here. **You will be expected to be prepared for class each day, treat yourselves and others with respect, and ask questions.**
 * Welcome to Biology 1 **
