MYP Academic Biology

MYP Academic Biology uses a three-dimensional framework of engaging in real world phenomena to explore principles of biology.  MYP Academic Biology is a course designed to give students an overview of biological concepts. In this two-semester course, students will explore the nature of science through experimental design. This course is a combination of teacher led instruction and student driven investigation, which requires work outside of the classroom. The course will explore cells and cell processes which include basic biological principles, chemical basis for life, bioenergetics, homeostasis, cell growth, genetics, theory of evolution and ecology. MYP instruction will emphasize IB principles, such as global contexts, Approaches to Learning, international mindedness, the Learner Profile, and development of skills for lifelong learning.
