This course is designed to give students an understanding of the ecology component of biology and the principles set out in the Maine Learning Results. Together we examine our role in the world by studying the biosphere and different factors impact on it. Ecology then examines the unique interrelationships among the various components within the global system. Limiting factors are studied to develop proposals for mechanisms to sustain a balance between human impact and environmental responsibility. Biochemical factors are also included to understand how the chemistry of life is suited to maintain diversity and stability. The course utilizes technology and laboratory exploration in the classroom to strengthen understanding. The textbook is used to develop a vernacular for communicating the information. The use of discussions, outlines, quizzes, tests, and projects will demonstrate competency in the subjects and readiness to advance. This course is an opportunity to investigate ocean systems and the processes impacting them. This course involves a closer look at the scientific prinicples that regulate the delicate balance of life in the marine environments. It will examine the impacts that fluctuations within these systems could have on life in and out of the water. It also takes a look at how our atmosphere and aquatic environments are interrelated to regulate our Earth. It will explore the implications of changes in either of the two systems on the other and why it is important for us to be good stewards of the solar system. The fourth science in a series of four that students should complete to have an understanding of how living systems function. Students will explore how cells differ within different organisms and the basic building blocks of life that offer such a great diversity of structures. This course will require the application of all three of science 1 - 3 as students work with the chemical, physical, and environmental aspects of cells. They will examine the internal and external influences on biochemical reactions. They will understand how genetic code is transfered and regulated within different organisms This is an open course available for students to share and improve behavior within their community. Using technology to create visual layouts. Write a concise and interesting paragraph here that explains what this course is about This is an introductory physics course.
