Advanced Biology

Course Overview

In Advanced Biology, students will explore biological concepts through inquiry-based learning using a combination of research, project-based learning, online investigations, and laboratory explorations. Students will incorporate both individual and group learning to explore the topics of biochemistry and cellular processes, including transport, energy and communication, inheritance, evolution, and ecology. Students enrolled in the Advanced Biology course will be concurrently enrolled in the Laboratory elective for this course, which takes place on Fridays.  The laboratory course is one semester and while the content will be complimentary to the overall course content, it will not necessarily match the weekly content covered in the Advanced Biology year-long course on any given week. Students are required to order a complete science kit with materials for hands-on labs related to content covered in the class. Labs are conducted during our synchronous live sessions, with the instructor monitoring lab work. The concepts and activities in this course will prepare students for post-secondary education, possibly with a focus in the sciences.
