Course Title: Anatomy and Physiology Section AS
Discipline: Science - Biology
Grade Level: 11, 12
Level: Honors
Offering: Repeated Semester
Prerequisites: Successful completion of a full year (or equivalent) of biology
Students must be mature enough to handle urinary and reproductive system content.
Technical requirements: NIH ImageJ (free imaging software)
Description: How can the results of an ECG (EKG) indicate heart pathology? How does a bone grow? What are the latest developments in reproductive medicine? How does the histology of a normal lung compare to that with emphysema? These are among the questions that are addressed in Anatomy and Physiology.
This is an honors level course that is designed to investigate the anatomy and physiology of the 11 major body systems. This course begins with a quick review of biological levels of organization and microscopy and then focuses on both structure and function of the following systems: skeletal system, muscular, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, immune, endocrine and nervous. The course culminates with a look at how the systems work together to ensure homeostasis for the body and what happens when one or more of these systems don't function correctly.
Students play anatomy games, complete online quizzes, analyze histology data (using NIH imaging software) and communicate results in lab reports, complete shorter writing assignments, conduct "hands on" labs and activities, and research specific topics such as hormones, viruses and the senses. Students regularly engage in virtual "lab meetings" and discussions about the latest topics associated with each system. During the first term, students work individually on a project that looks at the structure and function of a particular type of cell. Students collaborate with classmates in a team project to identify the anatomy and physiology associated with a particular disease during the second term.
The content and pace of the course require students to attend class and complete work regularly; it is expected that students will spend 8-10 hours per week on average in this course. Those who have successfully completed a biology course and are looking for a challenging study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body are good candidates for the course. Amy Sunke

Students collaborate with classmates in a team project to identify the anatomy and physiology associated with a particular disease during the second term.
The content and pace of the course require students to attend class and complete work regularly; it is expected that students will spend 8-10 hours per week on average in this course. Those who have successfully completed a biology course and are looking for a challenging study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body are good candidates for the course. Mary Jane Davis

Course Title: Anatomy and Physiology Section PB
Discipline: Science - Biology
Grade Level: 11, 12
Level: Honors
Offering: Repeated Semester
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of a full year (or equivalent) of biology
Students must be mature enough to handle urinary and reproductive system content.
Technical requirements: NIH ImageJ (free imaging software)
Description: How can the results of an ECG (EKG) indicate heart pathology? How does a bone grow? What are the latest developments in reproductive medicine? How does the histology of a normal lung compare to that with emphysema? These are among the questions that are addressed in Anatomy and Physiology.
This is an honors level course that is designed to investigate the anatomy and physiology of the 11 major body systems. This course begins with a quick review of biological levels of organization and microscopy and then focuses on both structure and function of the following systems: skeletal system, muscular, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, immune, endocrine and nervous. The course culminates with a look at how the systems work together to ensure homeostasis for the body and what happens when one or more of these systems don't function correctly.
Students play anatomy games, complete online quizzes, analyze histology data (using NIH imaging software) and communicate results in lab reports, complete shorter writing assignments, conduct "hands on" labs and activities, and research specific topics such as hormones, viruses and the senses.

Course Title: Animal Behavior and Zoology Section CJ
Discipline: Science - Biology
Grade Level: 11, 12
Level: Honors
Offering: Repeated Semester
Prerequisites: Successful completion of a full year (or equivalent) of biology
Description: Have you always been interested in animals and their behavior? Do you love to spend time at zoos and aquariums, and find animals (and their interactions) fascinating? This course explores the tremendous diversity of animal life and the interconnectedness of different animal species with each other and with humans. The first part of the course explores the classification and characteristics of all the animal phyla, with an emphasis on the evolution of animals and the adaptations that have allowed such diversity to flourish. The second part of the course focuses on many different animal behaviors (including human behavior). We will learn about different types of behaviors – from innate (genetic) behaviors to learned behaviors. The social interactions between animals will be covered in depth as we study courtship, aggression, altruism, and parental behaviors in animals. We will also discuss different careers in the animal sciences as a culminating activity, which should be of great interest to students who wish to pursue their love of animals as their professions. The course will utilize a number of interesting articles, discussions, virtual field trips, activities, videos, and projects to give a wider perspective of the animal kingdom and animal behavior.Carrie Johnson
