This course emphasizes the science themes: change, diversity, energy, equilibrium, matter, and systems. These themes allow students to make connections within the science program and understand how individual sections of the program relate to the big ideas in science. In addition to developing a solid understanding of fundamental science concepts and principles, Biology 11 has the goal of educating students about the nature of science and technology and the interaction between biology and technology. Students are made aware of the impact of biology and associated technology on society and the limitations of the biological sciences, science in general and technology in solving societal problems. Biology 11 consists of four units of study: Biodiversity, Energy Flow and Cellular Matter, Energy and Matter Exchanged by Humans and Other Organisms, and Energy and Matter Exchange in Ecosystems
