Biology 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

Course Number – 4300<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prerequisite<\/strong> – Science 10 or Science 9\/10 Honours<\/p>\n

Text<\/strong> – Biology (Miller and Levine)<\/p>\n

Course Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biology is the study of living organisms. In Biology 11, students will learn about the evolution of life on Earth, how living things are classified, how living things interact with each other and their environment along with an examination of the five kingdoms of organisms.
\nStudents are evaluated on regular homework assignments, laboratory activities as well as quizzes and tests. Quizzes and tests count for a greater proportion of the overall mark.
\nStudents with a strong personal interest in Biology as well as strong work and study habits will do well in the Biology courses.\u00a0 All Biology 11 students will write an in class final exam which counts for 10% of their final mark.<\/p>\n

Biology courses are challenging so students must be prepared to spend considerable time working outside of class. Students should expect to spend 30 \u2013 60 minutes previewing, reviewing, studying and completing homework assignments for each scheduled class. It is easy to fall behind in either of these courses so regular attendance is a requirement as well as regular studying.<\/p>\n

Prescribed Learning Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

(taken from http:\/\/www.bced.gov.bc.ca\/irp\/pdfs\/sciences\/2006biology1112.pdf<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It is expected that students will:<\/p>\n

Processes of Science<\/strong>
\nA1 demonstrate safe and correct technique for a variety of laboratory procedures
\nA2 design an experiment using the scientific method
\nA3 interpret data from a variety of text and visual sources
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taxonomy<\/strong>
\nB1 apply the Kingdom system of classification to study the diversity of organisms<\/p>\n

Evolution<\/strong>
\nC1 describe the process of evolution<\/p>\n

Ecology<\/strong>
\nD1 analyse the functional inter-relationships of organisms within an ecosystem
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microbiology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Viruses<\/strong>
\nE1 evaluate the evidence used to classify viruses as living or non-living
\nE2 evaluate the effects of viruses on human health
\nKingdom Monera<\/strong>
\nE3 analyse monerans as a lifeform at the prokaryotic level of organization
\nE4 evaluate the effectiveness of various antibiotics, disinfectants, or antiseptics on bacterial cultures<\/p>\n

Plant Biology<\/strong>
\nF1 analyse how the increasing complexity of algae, mosses, and ferns represent an evolutionary continuum of adaptation to a land environment
\nF2 analyse how the increasing complexity of gymnosperms and angiosperms contribute to survival in a land environment<\/p>\n

Animal Biology<\/strong>
\nG1 analyse how the increasing complexity of animal phyla represents an evolutionary continuum
\nG2 analyse the increasing complexity of the Phylum Porifera and the Phylum Cnidaria
\nG3 analyse the increasing complexity of the Phylum Platyhelminthes, the Phylum Nematoda, and the Phylum Annelida
\nG4 analyse the increasing complexity of the Phylum Mollusca, the Phylum Echinodermata, and the Phylum Arthropoda
\nG5 relate the complexity of the form and function of vertebrates to the evolutionary continuum of animals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
