This biology course guides students through the study of living and nonliving systems and of how those systems interact with one another. Students explore the world they live in by posing questions and seeking answers through scientific inquiry. Discovery takes place through observation and data collection. Students are introduced to the structure, function, diversity, and evolution of living matter. This is a course with real relevance. It encourages curiosity and provides opportunity for students to work on hands-on lab activities and develop relationships through collaborative learning. Engaging in the study of biological science broadens the picture of the world around us.

Florida public school students are required to take the Florida End of Course (EOC) exam. The EOC replaces the FCAT science test. Local school districts will be administering the EOC for all students within their school zones. FLVS does not offer the EOC. Students should contact their guidance counselor or school testing administrator for further information.
