Biology, Part 1

$299.00

BIOL 041 | High School | 0.50 Credit Hours

After learning about the scientific method, students will study life at its most basic level, the cell. Students will then use the cell as a foundation for understanding how life evolves, including a detailed discussion of DNA, genetics, and evolution. This is the first course in a two-part Biology series. This course also encompasses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
