Emphasis is placed on data analysis, content-related reading and writing, and inquiry-based investigations. GRADE: 9,11 LENGTH: 2 Sem CREDIT: 1.00 GPA: All Subject & Academicīiology 173 is a first year biology course that offers an in-depth study of biological topics including ecology, biochemistry, cell structure & function, cellular processes, energy in living systems, DNA, genetics, evolution, biotechnology and human body systems. In depth water/river analysis is included in the laboratory activities of this approach. An ecological approach to biology focuses on using our community and local environments to explore the characteristics of life. A cellular approach to biology explores the characteristics of life by focusing on both cells and human systems. Upon registration, students will be asked to select a cellular approach or an ecological approach. Throughout the year, students will experience a variety of laboratory activities designed to enhance their problem solving skills and understanding of scientific processes. Topics include ecology, biochemistry, cell structure and function, cellular processes, energy in living systems, DNA, genetics, evolution, and interactions within and between species in a variety of environments. Students actively participate through hands-on experiences that emphasize listening, speaking, reading, and related vocabulary.īiology 163 is a first year biology course that investigates the common characteristics of all living things. GRADE: 9,10,11,12 LENGTH: 2 Sem CREDIT: 1.00 GPA: All Subject & AcademicĪ first year biology course that investigates the common characteristics of all living organisms including: cell structure and function, energy in living systems, reproduction, growth, development, genetics, evolution, and interactions with and between species in a variety of environments. Students will be actively involved in this class as content is generated and experienced in class to enhance problem solving skills. Emphasis is placed on data analysis, content-related reading and writing, inquiry-based investigation, and organization of resources including student developed notes, laboratory experiences, and both short & long term learning activities. Topics include ecology, cell structure and function, cellular processes, energy in living systems, DNA, genetics, and evolution.
