Biology is the study of life and living organisms, from the smallest bacteria to giant sequoias. Biologists use observation and experimentation to gain an understanding about the natural world. Branches of biology include anatomy, biotechnology, botany, cell biology, ecology, genetics, medicine, microbiology, molecular biology, and zoology.
During this course you will gain a better understanding of and appreciate the creatures around us, the marvels of the human body, and realize the magnificent processes of life.
I hope to draw connection points between content and current issues in our world, from cancer to conservation. I encourage you to actively participate in class, complete all assignments thoroughly and on time, and to study regularly outside of class.
