Grade 10 - Science
Biology A - Semester 1 (Credit: 0.50)Biology is a science dedicated to studying all forms of life on Earth. You are probably
familiar with life on a large scale, but do you know what makes up life? This course will
teach you about the smallest building block of life—the cell. You will learn what makes a
cell, how cells are built and their functions, as well as how mutations in cells can cause
them to change genetically.
Course Goals:
By the end of the course the student will be able to do the following:
Describe the basic building blocks of life.
Describe the structure and functions of a cell.
Identify the chemicals which make up individual cells.
Explain how gene-based inheritance in genetics works.
Explain how mutations affect molecular genetics.
Explain the processes of macro and micro evolution.
