COURSE DESCRIPTION

BIOLOGY
Grade level: 9-12

Biology is an inquiry-based course designed to cover the basic concepts of general biology leading to the understanding of the change, homeostasis, organization, continuity, development, and ecology in living systems.  This will be accomplished using a active, guided inquiry approach. Introductory principles covered in this course will include biodiversity, natural selection, adaptation, homeostasis, organism structure and function, cycling of matter and energy, gene action, development, and ecology. Laboratory and general activities that combine conceptual understanding with problem solving are integrated into this course.
