High School Biology 1
$195.00
This course will provide an introduction to biology. For most of the year, the focus is on molecular biology -biological molecules, parts of the cell, metabolic pathways, DNA replication, and the cell cycle. The unit on genetics is always a favorite, and the year concludes with units on ecology. Other topics will include medical applications of biology and methods used to design experiments and collect and analyze data.
In this class, the textbook is a useful resource that has much better drawings than the teacher’s, but it is not the primary source of the material. Video lectures explain the ‘how’ and also the ‘why do we care?’. Biological molecules are related to dietary advice – students will know the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats and why one is solid at room temperature. DNA replication, chromatin structure, and transcription are important in understanding cancer biology – what has to go wrong for a tumor to form?
Although there are some traditional elements – homework questions, quizzes, and monthly tests – students are also able to be more creative (or not – it’s up to them) with projects for each unit and article reviews.
Price is $179 per semester.
