Biology 2 & 2A

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.
