The IB Biology syllabus is a list of all the content understandings (U) , applications (A) and skills (S) that the IB Organization mandates are taught throughout the two years of the IB Biology higher level course. A
full printable list of the syllabus
(pdf) can be seen here. While SHS does not necessarily progress through the syllabus statements in order, they are presented in order here. If you are curious about the order in which the syllabus is taught at SHS, you can
view the general sequence of the course here
