This biology curriculum emphases student investigation and deepens student understanding of the biological sciences. The course focuses on the study of organisms (living things) and explores the topics of modern biology. The nine unites covered within this course include the principles of cell biology, the principles of genetics, the principles of evolution, the principles of ecology, introduction to diversity, introduction to plants, introduction to vertebrates, introduction to invertebrates, and exploring human biology. Some of the topics studied include cell structure and function, cell replication, photosynthesis, cell respiration, Mendel's principles, replication, transcription, protein synthesis, the environment and ecosystems, the theory of evolution, the study of taxonomy, and the study of organisms in relation to their environment. Students study these topics through interactive laboratory investigations, group collaboration, research projects, and virtual dissections. Laboratory work and projects provide a means of assessing student progress in learning over the year. Thebiologycurriculumemphasizesstudentinvestigationsanddeepensstudentunderstandingofthebiologicalsciences.
