In this course students will investigate biological processes through laboratory investigations, case studies, readings, writing, and projects. This class will investigate the nature of science through experimental design.

The following questions will be addressed:

• How do matter and energy cycle and flow through living things and their environment?
• How do organisms transport matter and energy to maintain homeostasis?
• How do organisms receive and respond to stimuli?
• How do organisms maintain continuity of life?
• How has evolution led to the diversity of living things?
• How do living things interact with each other and their environment?
• How do human population growth and consumption lead to ecological imbalance?
