Biology, 2-Semester Course (Independent Use Student License)

Description

Part 1

In this course, students will learn about biology as it relates to their environment and to themselves. Gospel principles will be likened to natural mechanisms, processes, and the levels of organization found in each. Students will learn about ecology through discussion of populations, natural cycles of energy and matter, and good stewardship of the Earth. Students will also learn about physiology of organisms, including the basic chemistry and building blocks of life, the processes of growth and change, and the natural flow of resources within an organism and its cells.

Part 2

In part two of biology, students will explore biological principles featuring genetics, inheritance and evolutionary theories. Students will learn how genetic material is passed from organism to organism, and how it guides the growth and development of those organisms. Students will also learn about prevailing theories of evolution, diversity among species, and their connection to intelligent design. Biotechnology, gene therapy, and other applications of biology will be explored.
