Human Body Systems (PLTW) 

Local Code: 95A0

PEIMS: N1302093 Credit 1.0 Course: Level 2

Description:  In the Project Lead The Way [PLTW] Human Body Systems (HBS) course, students examine the interactions of body systems as they explore deeply biological identity, communication, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis. Through individual and team activities, projects, and problems, students design experiments, investigate the structures and function of the human body, and use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement,reflex and voluntary actions, and respiration. 

Anatomy and Physiology (ANATPHYS) Credit: 1.0

PEIMS: 13020600

Local Code: 9519E

Grade: 11-12

Prerequisite: Three credits of science

Description: In this course, students conduct laboratory investigations and fieldwork, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and problem solving. Topics will be presented through an integration of biology, chemistry, and physics. Students study the structures and functions of the human body and body systems and will investigate the body’s responses to forces, maintenance of homeostasis, electrical interactions, transport systems, and energy systems. This course must include at least 40% laboratory investigation and fieldwork using appropriate scientific inquiry. This course may also be used as a third or fourth science credit under the HB5 graduation requirements for students who have entered Grade 9 in the 2014- 2015 school year and thereafter.
