Course Description
The Biology course is a first-year course in biology at the high school level. The
course emphasizes a multi-representational approach to algebra, with concepts,
results, and problems being expressed graphically, analytically, and verbally. The
course uses four themes to organize important concepts throughout the course:
science, technology, and society; evolution; the relationship between structure and
function; and science as a process.
The Biology course involves the scientific study of living organisms. The course
considers the interactions among the vast number of organisms that inhabit planet
Earth. It presents the basic form and function of these organisms, from cells to
organ systems, from simple viruses to complex humans. It delves into interactions
between organisms, and between an organism and its environment. It also looks
into how biotechnology is used to improve our health and daily lives
