Biology 2--Evolution & Ecology (1/2 Science Credit)
This second course in the biology sequence has a theme of: How is Life Interrelated? Students will explore the unity and diversity of life through the study of evolution by natural selection. The structure and replication of DNA along with protein synthesis will be examined. The interdependence of all living things will be explored with emphasis on ecological processes and human impact on the biosphere. The processes of photosynthesis and respiration will be introduced. These topics will be presented through
numerous laboratory activities, lectures and discussions and will emphasize process and thinking skills. The Missouri Biology End of Course Assessment is given at the conclusion of this course.This is a TENTATIVE schedule of homework and class activities.
