Welcome to my high school biology class!  This course begins with a consideration of the living condition and discussion of the unique properties of living organisms that set life apart from the non-living. It continues with molecular and cellular biology, from which it moves logically into reproduction and genetics. 

A high level of understanding in problem solving and the scientific methods is necessary for success in this course.
This high school biology course is designed to give students a detailed understanding of the concepts that lead to success  in other advanced courses, such as AP Biology and AP Environmental Science. This course will cover basic tenets of evolution, plant biology/physiology, as well as ecology.

The format of this class will be powerpoint-based lectures and optional homework will be given. I will grade homework every week and provide the feedback accordingly. There will be 3-5 multiple choice questions during the class to reinforce what they have learned. 

Week 1-2 Descent with Modification: Darwinian View of Life and The Evolution of Populations
In this section, we will discuss natural selection and the core lines of evidence that support this theory

Week 3. The Origin of Species and phylogeny and Systematics
We will discuss how to generate phylogeny tree and how systematics were used for evolution

Week 3. Population Evolution
We will discuss how evolution can occur at the population level.

Week 4. History of Life 
We will discuss the history of life 

Week 5. Classification 
We will discuss how different 

Week 6. Biosphere 
Week 7. Ecosystem and communities
Week 8. Population ecology

Week 9. Introduction to the plants 

Week 10. Plants - roots & stems 

Week 11. Plants - leaves 
We will discuss the functional role of leaves 

Week 12. Reproduction of plants 
We will compare and contrast how seedless vs. seed plants reproduce 
We will discuss the structure of the flower and how flowering plants reproduce 


Please note that the learner cannot transfer to the new session after 1 week of the class.

Hello everyone! I am from South Korea. I am Dr. Lee and have a PhD in immunology from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I also worked at Yale University for two years, where I examined the role of immune cells in the process of aging. I have extensive scientific teaching experience in high school and college settings. I have developed and taught various introductory biology courses in tutoring and in a classroom setting. I have also taught Korean in various settings in high school and college level. 

In my class, I will utilize various teaching methods that will help the students to learn biology, including cam-doc, PowerPoints, and worksheet. The students will also reinforce their knowledge by writing down the notes, which is an important aspect of future career. During the course, it is my goal to foster critical thinking, stimulate intellectual growth, enhance engagement and participation, and inspire students to reach their full potential. For me, teaching is another form of learning; my interactions with students ignite a continuous urge to learn more, trigger new ideas and engender strength to move forward. 

I will also incorporate diversity of student backgrounds, strengths, weaknesses and problem solving skills to customize my teaching style. Students needed to identify the experimental goals and organize fundamental biological concepts and my role as a teacher is to effectively guide students to a complete understanding of the subject.

I am also available for additional sections (requested by learners) and individual tutoring.  Please drop me a message to schedule additional sections if you would like to schedule other time-

Class policy: 
⭐ If nobody shows up in the classroom within 10 minutes after the start time of the class, the teacher will cancel the class for that day, and there won't be any makeup classes.
⭐ The teacher will provide grades to those who request them. However, to receive a grade, students must complete all optional quizzes, homework, and labs.
⭐ All students must show respect towards the teacher and their peers throughout the class.
⭐ Students are not required to use their video camera during class, but they must turn it on when they join the class every day. It's recommended to use a microphone instead of typing in the chat for better learning experience.
⭐ The teacher will only arrange makeup classes if they are unable to attend the class. There won't be any makeup classes if a student misses the class. However, students can view the recorded class if at least one other student was present in the class.
