    Syllabus:

    Course Description and Objectives:  Biology is the study of life.  In this course, students will be exposed to an incredible array of life forms ranging from microscopic bacteria to giant redwood trees . Students will also learn how different life forms rely on each other and their environment for nutrients and shelter. Finally, students will gain experience using the same techniques that scientists use in the world to identify, study, and test various hypotheses about life.
