- Emphasizes biochemistry to meet the AP Biology syllabus
- Chemistry and Algebra 1 are prerequisites
- God-centered focus yet following current scientific theories
Description
Written to meet the needs of advanced students, Novare Advanced Biology covers all topics found in the AP Biology syllabus. Biochemistry is emphasized in this course and successful completion of Chemistry and Algebra 1 is a prerequisite. Familiarity with Algebra 2 is also suggested.
The goal of this course is to equip
students to use their minds for the glory of God, and with this goal in mind,
evolutionary theory is taught with the scientific evidence presented neutrally.
Students will become well-versed in the theory, while understanding God as the
Creator of all things. Topically, students will study life, the chemistry of
life, cells and cell theory, energy in chemical reactions, cellular
respiration, and photosynthesis, cell signaling and the cell cycle, genetics,
gene expression and regulation, ecology and conservation, microevolution,
population genetics, and evolutionary theory and macroevolution. This is an
advanced course written for 11th grade accelerated students. With the focus on
introductory biochemistry, other topics typically covered in Biology are not
taught, including plants, animals, and human anatomy. All topics of the AP
Biology syllabus are covered, with additional content on scientific
epistemology, history, and creation.
Required for the course are the Textbook, Apprentice Companion, and the Digital Resources. The Student Lab Report Handbook is recommended.
