This course will not only explore how the body works, but it will also investigate what happens when something goes wrong. The digestive, nervous, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, endocrine and reproductive systems will all be studied. A previous course in biology is helpful but not necessary. These are some of the questions which will be explored in this exciting field. In addition to investigating the manipulation of DNA, we will discuss the ethics of changing a genome.
Biology is a prerequisite, and enrollment is limited to high school students.
Choices about food are made several times a day. This course will explore the impact of those choices and will hopefully lead to changes in behavior towards food. Students will learn that the healthful habits they have as adolescents will help them become healthy adults. Students will investigate and design web pages. They will begin by developing familiarity with the World Wide Web.
