Biology 1 & 1A

This site serves as a resource site for students in Biology 1& 1A at Granite City High School. The goal of Biology 1& 1A is to provide a general overview of major biological topics. The class includes several labs, including dissections.

Biology is a freshman level class, aligned to a college-prep curriculum. Most students taking biology intend to enter college after graduation. As such, the class can be challenging and requires students to spend time studying for tests.

All notes included on website are given in class - you are welcome to print them out for your own use. Classroom notes and resources may be more up-to-date than website resouces.

The textbook currently used is Biology, by Miller & Levine
