Course Description
Welcome to BIOLOGY!!! Biology is the study of life. The purpose of this class is to bring understanding and appreciation for the great diversity of life on Earth. Also, to help you understand yourself...you are a biological organism. Biology is an exciting, but challenging subject filled with complex principles and difficult vocabulary. My goal is to present this information to you clearly and logically, and to create a positive, productive, learning environment for everyone. This is a laboratory course where you will be participating in many labs, using microscopes and working with living/deceased organisms. Lab experience is essential in order to develop our skills as scientific thinkers, and experimental scientists. Cooperation, enthusiasm and growth will guide us to discover the amazing world of biological science

Anatomy and Physiology - 2010-2011 Syllabus

Course Description
Welcome to Anatomy and Physiology! This is an exciting course that you will find both challenging and interesting… after all, it is all about you! The study of Anatomy and Physiology focuses on the structures of the human body and how those structures work together. During the course of this year we will study all the organs and organ systems of the body in great detail. We will be analyzing cellular structure and function, as well as how the cells work together to coordinate organ function. Additionally, we will explore how the organs work together to maintain homeostasis and stability within the human body. We are very complex organisms. In this course you will analyze those complexities, and in doing so, prepare for advanced collegiate science courses. While this course may be challenging, together we will work hard to gain knowledge and skills in the fascinating field of anatomy.
