About

We will be going through all topics in high school biology to understand the basics of biology. Whether you want a review, to prepare for the upcoming school year, or prepare for a test, this series can help you!

For practice problems, we will use both of the high school biology courses in khan academy.

Inheritance and variation
Evolution and natural selection
Adaptation and environmental change
Human body systems
Biodiversity and humans
