Course Information
What Knowledge Will I Develop?
Students will gain an understanding of fundamental living world concepts to prepare them for further Biological study. Students will investigate and identify patterns in ecological communities. Students will prepare, view and record biological material using a microscope. Students will research how animals carry out their life processes in order to survive in their habitats. Students will describe how and why genetic variation and change occurs, they will explain biological processes that affect gene expression and how and why life processes occur at the cellular level.
