Choose a Science class: MERITS sophomores must choose between either Bio/Biotech and AP Biology. Please read the descriptions carefully before choosing your class.
Bio/Biotech - (recommended) - This class is definitely an increase in rigor and is very hands on, project based learning.
AP Biology - This is a much more rigorous class. So much so, that we DO NOT recommend it UNLESS you are currently in Accelerated Geometry or higher (earning at least a B) and are currently earning an A in Environmental Science or freshman science course. Please note, this class uses language on par with a college freshman. Therefore, students entering should have a post high school reading level. Be prepared for nightly readings!
