Course Descriptions

Science 2

*Required Grade 10 OR General Biology

*1 Credit

*Biology: genetics, ecology, evolution

*Chemistry: properties of matter, energy, chemical reactions

 Students will explore the nature of scientific study and the relationship between science, society, and technology while learning the basics of biology and chemistry.

General Biology

*Required Grade 10 OR Science 2

*1 Credit

*Prerequisite: Science 1

*Basic microscope techniques

*Limited amount of dissection

*Study of human impact on the environment

*Areas of study include: cells, evolution, animals, genetics, and the environment

 General Biology is the study of living things. Course experiences will help prepare students for higher level science classes as well as acquaint students with its application to science and technology.

Anatomy & Physiology
