Ciencias de la vida de la escuela secundaria
Este curso ofrece una introducción al mundo natural mediante el estudio de los seres vivos, la taxonomía y la ecología a través de los viajes de Charles Darwin. Esta serie dará lugar posteriormente a un conjunto de lecciones sobre los ciclos de nutrientes, las redes alimentarias y la sucesión de incendios.

We will be focusing on the biomes of the planet, some of the native plants and animals that live in these biomes, and the soil composition of each biome. This will lead to a later section that focuses on nutrient cycles and food webs. The class is structured based on discussion style learning in which students are asked a series of questions based on past learning and/or images. The idea is that students will get to the answer together, instead of being told all the answers, so that they have a better understanding. Students will interact with me through lecture and discussion.
Metas de aprendizaje
We will spend the first part of the class learning about living things vs non-living things, the importance of science inquiry, curiosity, and design, and taxonomy.We will spend the middle portion of class on ecology by focusing on Charles Darwin and his time in the Galapagos Islands, as well as key species in Arizona.

The Francesco Redi experiment involving meat and flies. This experiment proved that spontaneous generation does not exist and introduces a lesson on what qualifies something as living or not. 50 minutos de lección en vivo en línea
Lección 2:
Characteristics of Living Things

Lección 3:
How Agassiz taught Shaler to See
We will read the excerpt, "How Agassiz taught Shaler to See," and discuss the importance of observation and organization. This is a longer read than the last, and it is important that we discuss the content while reading it. This lesson helps to recent reading and discussion skills. 50 minutos de lección en vivo en línea
Lección 4:
History of taxons and Linnaeus
We will use the last reading to discuss the history of Carl Linnaeus, his use of taxons, his influence on the current taxonomy system, and how to read taxonomy charts. 50 minutos de lección en vivo en línea
Otros detalles
Orientación para padres
Any upsetting or scary topics will include the mention of dying materials in terms of soil health and composition. We do not go into detail about the killing or details of death of plants and animals, but it is mentioned that organisms will die in their environments and their nutrients add to the available nutrients in the soil.
