This course will cover the Next Generation Science Life Science Standards in a hands-on and engaging way! Real-world problems, situations, and problem-based learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course. Students will have multiple opportunities to interact with other students and their instructor throughout this course in order to get the most out of their online experience.
