Easy Peasy High School Biology

by Lee Giles Author

Course Description: This course is based on Georgia Virtual Learning’s High School Biology courses, though it pulls in other resources throughout. This curriculum includes topics such as the scientific method, cells, biochemistry, photosynthesis and respiration, mitosis and meiosis, DNA and RNA, genetics, ecology, evolution and creation, taxonomy, viruses and bacteria, protists and fungi, and finally animals. Students will learn through texts, videos, online interactives and through hands-on and virtual lab investigations. (GVL course pages are linked as sources for the pages I copied their information from. They are all edited to some degree. All of the crossword puzzles are made from the GVL material as well as study questions and key term sheets.) And a thank you to Holly Dunn and Liz Mogg for all their help with preparing this course.
