Biology and the Living Earth
WELCOME TO NGSS Biology in the Living Earth. Students begin the year with an ecosystems unit emphasizing the local marine protected areas. The next unit will involve an in-depth look at evolution comparing species then and now. We end the year with a campus field investigation. The spring begins with a conservation unit focusing on local species, incorporating human activity and climate change. Students will explore body system interactions with the human anatomy unit. In this two semester course, students develop skills, strategies and framework for research at the macro and intensive perspectives. Students grow in the skills of design and modeling at multiple levels and in various modalities. Students practice science literacy, grow in their creative expression, and learn the importance of group dynamics.
