Laboratory investigations are an integral part of the course.
This course provides students with applied exploratory experiences and activities in the fundamental concepts of life. It expands the general concepts of life that were introduced in middle school and uses current applications in the life sciences to reinforce major concepts. The content includes, but is not limited to, use of the scientific method, scientific measurement, laboratory apparatus and use of equipment, cell structure and function, animal reproduction and technology, principles of genetics and genetic engineering, natural and artificial selection, digestive anatomy and functions, nutrition technology, technology of diseases and wellness, plant reproduction and plant technologies, natural resources, and structure and function of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Laboratory investigations are an integral part of this course. This purpose of this course is to develop comprehensive concepts and to do investigative studies of concepts basic to earth, its materials, processes, and history and environment in space.
