High School Biology – 3:45 end time
Room:
210/211Description:
This is a Christ-centered, college-prep biology course that provides a detailed introduction to the methods and concepts of general biology. It provides the student with a strong background in the scientific method, the five-kingdom classification scheme, microscopy, biochemistry, cellular biology, molecular and Mendelian genetics, creation vs. evolution, dissection, and ecosystems. It also provides a complete survey of the five kingdoms in creation. This is an intensive study which will prepare students for college level classes. Class time will be used for lecture, videos and experiments. Students will be expected to read 20-25 pages of text and complete study guides, tests, and lab notebook entries for each module (two weeks/module) . This class fulfills the requirement for a high school lab science. I do not recommend by-passing age requirements.
