Fossil Ridge High School – Zoology \*\*

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Zoology students study the major phyla of the animal kingdom. Life cycles, anatomy and physiology, reproduction, ecology, and economic benefits are emphasized. Correlated sciences would include entomology, herpetology, mammalogy, parasitology, and ornithology. This class should appeal not only to students who desire a career with animals, but also for others who have an interest in learning about the natural world around them. Laboratory dissections are a required component of this class. At FRHS: \*\*Zoology and Botany and Microbiology are merged into one integrated semester-long course.
