Unit 1 - Biology (40 Hours)
Students will demonstrate an understanding of hierarchies in biology, from intracellular to organ system levels of organization. Through processes of inquiry and independent investigation, they will use the scientific method and other skills of criticism and appraisal to apprehend cell division, specialization, and structure and function of tissues, organs and organ systems in plant and animal kingdoms. They will consider social, ethical and ecological implications of biological and biomedical advancements in this multidisciplinary field of study.
