Welcome to Pre-IB Biology  at Columbia River HS The aim of this page is to utilize technology to hopefully make the Pre-IB Biology course a little easier and, more importantly, learning more efficient. Please feel free to give us feedback on a constant basis. This project is constantly a "work in progress" and we are always looking for new ways to serve our students better. The IB biology course is administrated by IBO. To view a General Description of the IB Biology course published by the IBO click on the appropriate link. The Pre-IB Biology course here at Columbia River High School is developed from the core curricular areas of the IB course of the IBO, but is not done with the same intent of rigor or external examination. It is intended to prepare the students of the course for University studies within the liberal arts and pre-professional vocations. This year we are using as our primary core textbook,  Biology 5th Edition Campbell & Reece 2002 General, Organic & Biochemistry 6th Edition Bettelheim, Brown & March 2001  We are also fortunate to be able to use some other excellent resources in class as well. The additional resources we use include: Biology, The Science of Life 4th Edition  Wallace, Sanders & Ferl Senior Biology 1 & 2 by Greenwood, Allen & Rendle Cliffs Notes for Biology by Phillip E. Pack   The core laboratories of this course are designed  to link very closely to the  course syllabus And so all students are issued with their own copy of the approved  Pre-IB Biology Lab Manual Pre-IB Bio Fishbowl Discussions Student Performance Objectives Advanced Labs (AP/IB Modified) Advanced Labs (Morgan) Pre-IB Bio Lectures Pre-IB Bio Projects Pre-IB Bio Review
