Biology - PRINTED

Units of Study

Your student will explore core life science topics through engaging lessons, guided notes, and hands-on activities. The course is divided into 10 comprehensive units:

• Introduction to Biology
  What is biology? Learn how scientists study life, explore the characteristics of living things, and review basic scientific skills used in biology.

• Chemistry of Life
  Understand the building blocks of life—including atoms, molecules, water, macromolecules, and the chemical processes that power cells.

• Cells
  Explore the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, organelles, and how cells maintain homeostasis.

• The Cell Cycle
  Learn how cells grow, divide, and reproduce through mitosis and cytokinesis. Explore why the cell cycle matters in growth, healing, and cancer.

• DNA & RNA
  Dive into the structure of DNA and RNA, how proteins are made, and the processes of replication, transcription, and translation.

• Genetics
  Discover how traits are inherited through genes, Punnett squares, dominant and recessive alleles, and patterns of inheritance.

• Plant Systems 
  Study plant anatomy, photosynthesis, and how plants respond to their environment through specialized structures and internal systems.

• Animal & Human Systems
  Examine how animal and human body systems work together to maintain life—covering digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems.

• Evolution
  Explore natural selection, adaptation, common ancestry, and the scientific evidence that supports the theory of evolution.

• Ecology
  Understand ecosystems, food webs, energy flow, biotic and abiotic factors, population dynamics, and the human impact on the environment.
