Attention parents and students:
This web site was created to assist 9th grade
biology students with the course content. From
the unit tabs above, supporting materials such as
images, downloads, videos, and other links are
provided to enhance the subject matter, providing
another venue for learning.
The following documents are the mandated state
standards for instruction for this biology course.
Though more than this will be taught in this course,
these main ideas will be on unit tests and the
EOC (End-of-Course final
exam). Use this to help you learn.
Biology 1 teachers follow these standards closely,
as should you.
