Biology, Grade 11, SBI3U
Prerequisites : SNC2D
Grade 11 Biology (SBI3U) is an academic course that builds on the foundational knowledge from Grade 10 Science (SNC2D) and explores the diverse aspects of life and living organisms. The course covers key topics such as the cell structure and function, molecular genetics, evolution, and the diversity of living organisms. Students will examine the mechanisms of inheritance, explore the principles of natural selection, and investigate the classification and characteristics of different species. The course also emphasizes the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the impact of human activity on the environment. Students will engage in scientific inquiry through experiments, critical thinking, and the application of biological concepts to real-world issues, preparing them for further studies in biology, health sciences, and other related fields.
Biology, Grade 12, SBI4U
Prerequisites : SBI3U
Grade 12 Biology (SBI4U) is an advanced academic course that builds on the concepts learned in Grade 11 Biology (SBI3U) and offers a deeper exploration of biological principles. Students will study advanced topics such as cellular processes, biochemistry, human physiology, plant biology, and ecology. The course covers complex systems in the human body, including the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, and explores the molecular mechanisms of inheritance and gene expression. Students will also investigate the principles of biotechnology, the structure and function of ecosystems, and environmental sustainability. Through laboratory investigations, research, and critical thinking, students will develop the skills necessary for scientific inquiry and problem-solving, preparing them for further study in biology, medicine, environmental science, and related fields.
