Biology Course Description
The Biology curriculum is designed to continue student investigations of the life sciences that began in grades K-8 and provide students the necessary skills to be proficient in biology. Biology is the study of living things. An understanding of biology therefore, results in a better understanding and appreciation of life. Biology provides, through regular laboratory and field investigations, a study of the structures and functions of living organisms and their interactions with their environment. The following topics will be addressed in this course:
Order of units/topics are subject to change per the discretion of the teacher
Units/Topics for Semester 1 Units/Topics for Semester 2
Science of Biology
DNA and RNA
Ecology
Overview of Genetic Engineering
Biochemistry
Overview of Human Genome
Cellular Structure
Evolution
Cellular Transport
Classification
