Biology, Beavers, and Bees, Oh my!: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Life Science A (Fall)

In "Biology, Beavers, and Bees, Oh My!", a two-semester high school biology course, students delve into the fundamentals of life sciences through engaging human stories and real-world applications. They study two keystone organisms, bees and beavers, to understand the impact of life sciences on Earth's ecosystems. The course covers topics like heredity, evolution, cell structure, and human evolution, while emphasizing the process of science, critical thinking, and practical aspects. It also addresses global issues such as the plight of bees.

The course offers weekly 50-minute webinars with recordings for missed sessions. It uses the textbook "The Story of Life: Great Discoveries in Biology" and supplementary books like "Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees".
