Biology 12 Course Details
Teacher
Rhiannon Cockayne
Prerequisite
It is recommended that students complete Science 10 or equivalent.
Description
Biology 12 focuses on human biology, allowing students to develop an interest and understanding of science by looking at themselves and seeing how diverse body systems are integrated to preserve and sustain life. To prepare students for exploring human biological functions, the first two modules introduce the biology of the cell-the smallest unit of life that can perform all of life processes. Cell structure and function start students thinking about how their bodies are formed on a molecular level. The last two modules cover the major systems of the human body, focussing on anatomy and physiology. Students taking this course can complete most of the components at home, with the exception of 4 supervised Unit Tests. They will work with an experienced senior biology teacher who will guide and assist as necessary. Normally the commitment to complete the course is about 100 hours. Biology 12 is available in print or online delivery formats. Some of the studnet benefits to the online version include quick return of marked assignments, more detailed feedback and easier to follow lessons.
