Exam Review 




Welcome to SBI4U: University Biology 12!

Teachers for this course:

  • Mr. Dave Dykstra 

In this course we will explore the basic components of life, our bodies, and how they relate to each other.  If you are curious about living things, how your body works, or what it means to clone a creature, than this is the course for you!  In this course you will have the opportunity to: 

  • Collaborate with other students on projects and assignments

  • Contribute to course knowledge

  • Work with technology in a meaningful way to construct knowledge

  • Perform investigations

  • Prepare for university classes

 It is recommended that you have taken chemistry 11 before taking this course, university biology 11 is a prerequisite.
