After learning about the scientific method, students will study life at its most basic level, the cell. Students will then use the cell as a foundation for understanding how life evolves, including a detailed discussion of DNA, genetics, and evolution. This is the first course in a two-part Biology series. This course also encompasses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

This course uses our Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) model to give students the opportunity to develop both real-world 21st Century Skills and Social and Emotional Learning Soft Skills to develop college and career readiness.

  • Knowledge: Biology, Part 1
  • Skill: Critical Thinking—Interpretation and Analysis
  • Attribute: Resilience
