Course Description
Academic Year 2008-2009 • Grade 9 and above • Science Sequence
For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Biology
Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Christe McMenomy
Starts: September 4, 2008
Ends: May 28, 2009
Monday 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM ET • Thursday 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM ET
Tuition: $450.00
There is more information at the teacher's course Website: Biology
Introduction to the principles of modern biology, including organic chemistry, the structure and components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, cellular respiration and photosynthesis, genetics, evolution and speciation, comparative anatomy with an emphasis on human anatomy and physiology, plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and ecology.Prerequisites
Life science course at junior high level.
Recommended background
Students should have completed a junior high school level course in life science that covers the description of a cell and its method of reproduction, concepts of classification of organisms, some evolution theory, and some human anatomy and physiology (i.e., human organ systems and their functions). We cover all of these topics in detail, and students have an easier time if they have been exposed to the basic concepts before starting my course. It is also useful to have some physical science experience, especially with the concepts of atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, and thermodynamics or heat energy. We cover these topics in the early part of the course when we discuss cell structure and functions.
Teacher's notes:
Text for this course will be Campbell/Reece Biology:Concepts and Connections; we will determine by June 1 whether to adopt the new 6th edition or continue using the 5th edition.
Controversial topics such as evolution, reproductive controls, and genetic engineering require student maturity. AP students must meet during extra classes. For information about our approach to evolution, see the evolution page.Textbooks and Materials
