After learning about the scientific method, students will study life at its most basic level, the cell. Students will then use the cell as a foundation for understanding how life evolves, including a detailed discussion of DNA, genetics, and evolution. This is the first course in a two-part Biology series. This course also encompasses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
This course uses Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) model to give students the opportunity to develop both real-world 21st Century Skills and Social and Emotional Learning Soft Skills to develop college and career readiness.
- Knowledge: Biology, Part 1
- Skill: Critical Thinking—Interpretation and Analysis
- Attribute: Resilience
What You’ll Learn
- Scientific Inquiry: Learn the steps of the scientific method and explore the characteristics of living things.
- Cell Biology: Study the structure, function, and processes of cells.
- Genetics: Explore DNA structure, replication, transcription, and the basics of heredity.
- Evolution: Understand the principles of evolution and natural selection.
- Credit hour: 0.5
