Instructions: Welcome 289 to CHS Freshman Biology!
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to Central High School! Get ready for an exciting year of discovery as we delve into the wonders of life, from the smallest cells to the largest ecosystems. To ensure you hit the ground running and start your high school science journey with confidence, we've prepared this essential summer assignment. This work is designed to refresh your knowledge, introduce key foundational concepts, and prepare you for the rigor and pace of freshman biology. Completing this summer work is an important step in preparing for academic success in the coming year, as it establishes a necessary knowledge base before instruction begins.
Please note the following critical instructions:
Read each section of the Textbook: The Case of The Fading Athlete - CHS Summer Assignment
Answer All Questions: Written assignments are to be done in the The Case of The Fading Athlete Workbook. Make a copy of the workbook for yourself by clicking on “File” and then “Make a Copy” in the menu bar. You must answer every question presented in this assignment, which is drawn from models, provided online textbook, and other assigned material.
Visual Submissions: Anytime a question asks you to draw a diagram, sketch, or create a graph, please insert your drawing or graph directly underneath the corresponding question within this document. You may use digital drawing tools or take clear photographs of hand-drawn work.
Grading: Your successful completion of this assignment will result in two separate grades:
Completion Grade: This grade is based on the thoroughness and submission of all required parts of the assignment.
Content Quiz Grade: During the first week of school, you will take a quiz based on the core content covered in this summer assignment. This ensures you have mastered the foundational concepts before we move forward with new material. During the 1st week of school you will also review this material with your teacher.
We look forward to a fantastic year of biological exploration with you!
Curriculum
Curriculum
BSCS Biology: Understanding for Life is the next generation in a line of BSCS Biology programs that presents inquiry-based, research-driven high school biology programs to teachers and students. This new program is designed for the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) that meet the needs of a changing discipline and educational environment. The program integrates the three-dimensional disciplinary shifts called for in the latest NGSS as well as provides support for educators to successfully implement the curriculum.
BSCS Biology: Understanding for Life has been designed with the explicit goal of preparing students to make well-informed and well-reasoned decisions in their personal, professional, and civic lives. The program provides students with the robust science understanding and lifelong learning skills they will need to keep up with the rapid pace of change in the life sciences they will see over the course of their lives.
Each unit introduces students with a compelling, real-world problem to solve or phenomenon to explain, and is a building block toward solving the unit’s problem and being prepared to address related challenges throughout their lives. The challenges explored in the program’s four units are:
Infectious diseases
Heredity and complex diseases
Sustainable food systems
Protection of biodiversity
