Biology 4 focuses on the development of practical skills as it examines complex and relevant issues, such as the environment and sustainable development, health and pharmaceuticals, and food production and security, from a biological standpoint. Independent investigations and presentations allow students to employ higher-order thinking skills in proposing and presenting solutions to real-life problems.
