This 19 week Biology course is designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of living systems. Students investigate biochemical life processes, cellular organization, mechanisms of inheritance, dynamic relationships among organisms, and the changes in organisms through time. Students will learn the material through lecture, classroom discussion with peer interaction, Kahoot, Quizlet, NearPod and Pear Deck to name a few websites. Students will also have access to different lab such as the Hands-on Science lab during the week we discuss DNA, where the students will extract and observe DNA.

In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message on the discussion board and exit after 10 min. Class recordings are available upon request. *TEACHER FEEDBACK* I would love for you to leave me feedback on how I did as well! It will really help me grow and develop my presence here on Outschool! If you don’t think this class earned 5 stars, please message me! *Refund/Transfer Policy* Per Outschool policy, there are no refunds for missed classes. I will be glad to transfer your learner to another section but require 24 hours' notice. This timing is necessary in order to fill the spot you are vacating. If I transfer you on short notice, I may not be able to fill your original spot, which means you are taking up two spots but only paying for one.
