BIOLOGY 12 Course Outline
Ms. Vissers
Moscrop Secondary School
Overview
Welcome to Biology 12! I am very excited to be your teacher this year. During our time together, I hope to get to know you and learn what you bring to our class. Together we will explore anatomy and physiology. In this course, you will learn more about the human body including the biochemistry of the human body systems.
Objectives
During this course you will have the opportunity to practice many skills. Please look more closely at the Curricular Competencies for Anatomy and Physiology 12 ( https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/sites/curriculum.gov.bc.ca/files/pdf/10-12/science/en_s_12_aph.pdf) for very specific objectives. Throughout this course we will be working on communication and collaboration skills, critical and creative thinking, identifying and taking action in terms of personal and social responsibility, developing questions and making predictions, planning and conducting experiments, analyzing and evaluating data and claims, and learning to apply your understanding to new situations.
Activities
This course will be focused on student doing! Come prepared to work in groups, make observations during demonstrations and labs, demonstrate safe lab procedures, and create models.
