Honors Biology with Modeling is a study of biology structured around seven essential ideas ( The Nature of Biological Science, Evolution, Energy of Ecosystems & Organisms, Cellular Structure and Function, and Genetics) using the Modeling Instruction approach.This instructional approach emphasizes the construction and application of conceptual models as a way of learning and doing science.This course encourages students to: develop defensible explanations of the way the natural world works by generating hypotheses, seeking evidence and constructing an argument; deepen their understanding of biology by answering Socratic questions posed by the instructor and engaging in discussion with classmates; articulate their ideas in oral and written forms; increase their course rigor and expectations of themselves.
