Biology
Course Description
Biology, a one-credit course, is a laboratory-based course that is designed to build a life science foundation
emphasizing patterns, processes, and interactions among organisms. Students are expected to master
conceptual understandings based on both individual investigations and the investigations conducted by
others. Individual learning experiences are used to support claims and engage in evidence-based
arguments. In this way, students explore the organization of life; the interdependence between organisms
and their environment; the chemical composition of life; the role of DNA, RNA, and protein in cellular
structure and function; inheritance; and evolution. Local resources coupled with external resources,
including evidence-based literature, will be used to extend and increase the complexity of these core ideas.
