Welcome to Cactus Shadows High School AP and Honors biology. Both courses are designed to be inquiry based to challenge students to think by analyzing data and drawing their own conclusions. It involves learning how today's scientists conduct research and analyze data in addition to learning how plants convert solar energy into chemical energy, how humans and animals convert food into energy for daily life, and a fundamental understanding of cells that make up our bodies and how they function. In addition, this course delves into explaining the role DNA plays in genetics, the study of interactions among organisms and their environment including the roles bacteria and viruses play in our world.Supplies Needed in:
