生物学 2 - 実験付き 1 年間コース (REAL Science Odyssey) - 第 2 学期

This rigorous, comprehensive course will engage students as they develop a deeper understanding of biology. Students will be challenged to apply their knowledge and skills to a variety of hands-on activities in class and outside of class. The class will focus on active student participation, hands-on laboratory assignments, and the development of critical thinking skills. 

Students will not only be learning science, they will be DOING science. 

Class will meet live weekly for one hour to discuss and learn about that week’s biology topics. There will be a live lecture with slideshow, class discussion, and cooperative learning. We will spend time discussing labs and activities, and on occasion, students will present projects to the class. Students will be encouraged to be actively engaged in class by answering questions and working together on class activities. Outside of class, students will use hands-on investigation and scientific modeling to learn about the wonderful world of biology, from cells to ecosystems. 

Each week, students will work on assignments outside of class, and hand in assignments through Google Classroom. There are four assignments most weeks, with a combination of hands-on labs and activities, microscope labs, research assignments pertaining to the week's topic, and a chapter review/quiz. All assignments will receive individualized feedback from the instructor, as well as a numerical grade.
