Course Description

Biology I is a laboratory course that investigates the relationship between structure and function from molecules to organisms and systems, the interdependence and interactions of biotic and abiotic components of the environment, and mechanisms that maintain continuity and lead to changes over time. Students explore biological concepts through an inquiry approach.

Biology I students investigate:

• Inquiry • Technology and Engineering • Cells • Interdependence • Flow of Matter and Energy • Heredity • Biodiversity and Change
