Description

Integrated Biology guides students through the study of interactions between life science and Earth and space science. Students explore the world they live in by posing questions and seeking answers through scientific inquiry. Discovery takes place through observation and data collection. The students will be introduced to the structure, function, diversity, and evolution of living matter.This is a course with real relevance. It encourages curiosity and provides opportunity for students to work on hands on lab activities and develop relationships through collaborative learning. Engaging in the study of biological science broadens the picture of the world around us.
