Ms. QK Teaches the following subjects:

PRE-AP BIOLOGY - Honors Year long
This class is designed for college bound/science-oriented students and will include detailed lab work, class discussion,
outside reading and projects. This class prepares students to take an upper-level AP science class at CDH. PRE-AP Biology is different from “Biology: The Living Science” and “Biology:Principles and Explorations” in the following ways: amount of detail, outside class work and speed/depth at which topics are learned.
Ninth grade students in the accelerated science program take this course. These students will be invited and tested
for this class. Register for Physical Science - Honors. All students in accelerated science are required to participate in an
intensive twenty-hour summer session.
Grades 10, 11 (9, by invitation only)

management issues and environmental justice are part of what is studied. Some outdoor and Saturday field trips
