Grade Level:11-12
Work load outside class (homework)
Assessments per 6 weeks: 4 Lab Reports, 2 Test, 2 Projects. The majority of course assessments
require students to be in class performing labs or working with team members on projects
and/or skills; therefor, most work for this course in done in the classroom.
Short Description:
This is a hands on lab intense course that is designed to prepare students for entry-level lab
technician position and give students skills required for the science workforce. Skills acquired
in this course can be used to obtain lab tech positions while in college.
This course is an introduction to biotechnology. It includes career exploration, the history of
biotechnology, the use of DNA/RNA technologies, molecular biology, bioethics and safe
laboratory practices. The course includes laboratory exercises and field trips to facilities using
biotechnologies. This course can be taken for articulated or dual credit.
Skills/Software taught:
Basic biology/biotechnology lab skills employable in any entry level lab technician position
For a detailed list please go to: http://www.bio-link.org/EDCskills.htm
Certifications Offered: NONE. Students will possess skills necessary to apply for lab
technician positions on their schools campus.

Short Description:
This is an Introduction to Biology course for NON-SCIENCE majors offered by ACC on Anderson High
School campus. This course will be taught by an Anderson/ACC faculty member, Mrs. Jennifer Lazare.
Class will meet during the 4 period school day. After successful completion of the course, student’s will
receive 8 freshman college Biology credits that can be transferred to any Texas university or college
(other schools may accept the credit, but you will have to contact that school directly for questions).
BIOL 1408 INTRODUCTORY BIOLOGY -- UNITY OF LIFE (4-3-3). Introductory biology
course designed for non-science majors who desire a conceptual approach to biological topics. An
introduction to the nature of science, the characteristics of life, the molecular and cellular basis of life,
genetics, reproduction, and development. An emphasis will be placed on how these topics are
related to current issues such as genetic engineering, biotechnology, and problems facing modern
society.
BIOL 1409 INTRODUCTORY BIOLOGY -- DIVERSITY OF LIFE (4-3-3). Introductory biology
course designed for non-science majors who desire a conceptual approach to biological topics. An
introduction to the diversity of life: viruses, prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants, and animals
Certifications Offered: NONE.
