K Students gain knowledge of the basic structure and function of representative animal phyla. Concentrations on animals' origins and evolution as well as their behavior and taxonomy are emphasized. K Students examine and learn the basic structures and functions of human organs and systems. An introduction to basic physical and chemical principles followed by a detailed study of cell structure and function is presented.
Students pursue a systematic study of certain systems.
K Students gain a thorough knowledge of the systems of the human body with particular emphasis on physiology and the interrelatedness of structure and function. K Students understand the anatomy, life cycles and systematic relationships of invertebrates. They compare the physiology and habits of terrestrial, aquatic and parasitic invertebrates. Students become knowledgeable of the evolution and adaptations of selected invertebrates. K Students study the structure, physiology, classification, and identification of insects.
