Course Description:
Students develop a conceptual understanding of biological sciences. Students will learn core ideas through the use of the science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts. The science and engineering practices are the tools students will use, and skills they develop, as they investigate the natural world, and develop solutions to problems. The crosscutting concepts are conceptual ways of thinking that cross the domains of science.
