Biology -  Inquiry

The class is designed to provide self-directed and self-motivated students with a more individualized life science education. This phenomena-based approach allows them the opportunity to explore areas of interest within the life science curriculum.  Content areas include cell structure and function, introductory biochemistry, genetics, energy transformations, evolution, and ecology. Students will engage in a variety of learning activities and use an inquiry approach as they use real world science practices to develop an understanding of life science principles. To be successful, students must have excellent organizational, time management and study skills, and be independent and highly motivated learners who are willing to grapple with complex issues.
