Biology Course Information

Biology is an inquiry-based course designed to provide students with well-designed opportunities to explore their natural world. Using an active ‘hands-on’ and ‘minds-on’ approach to learning, and a variety of inquiry-based investigations, the course promotes the development of science literacy and student proficiency in the process of science. During the course, students will develop the understanding that life science principles are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of the complexity, diversity, and interconnections of life on Earth and that science is both a body of knowledge and an evidence-based, model-building enterprise that continually extends, refines, and revises knowledge
