Biology is the study of living things. This course covers a variety of topics focused around five central themes: cell structure and function; mechanisms of genetics; biological evolution and classification; biological processes and systems; and interdependence within environmental systems. This program promotes scientific thinking through problem-solving, a process that encourages curiosity and careful inquiry. The teaching method will center on active student learning revolving around class work, group work, and laboratory investigations.
Westlake High School utilizes the Google Classroom platform to share classroom resources, assignments, and assessment preparation materials to students. WHS students will receive a classroom code to access these materials, submit assignments, and track any missing work.Â
