Biology
10 or 11 - General or Human Biology (Fall/Spring)
Students have the choice of taking either General
or Human Biology. General Biology focuses on more of an Environmental
& Ecological approach to the biological sciences. Students
are exposed to the scientific method, cell biology, genetics,
evolution, ecology, & environmental issues. Human Biology
is more focused on the body systems of the human being. Students
gain an understanding on cell structure and function, organ
systems, homeostasis, genetics, & interaction of the human
species with the ecosystem. |
