Anatomy and Physiology 12
Prerequisite
It is recommended that students complete Science 10. Chemistry 11 is recommended. Life Sciences 11 (Old course name Biology 11) is not necessary for Anatomy and Physiology 12.
Description
Anatomy and Physiology 12 (previously Biology 12) is an online, media-rich course designed to meet the BC Anatomy and Physiology 12 Curriculum (2018). The course offers interactive lessons with learning guides to assist with note taking. There are a variety of guided hands-on activities and rubric-based assessment.
This course consists of 4 units that incorporate the Big Ideas of Homeostasis, Gene Expression and Organ Systems. The first 2 units focus on cellular biology, and the last two units cover the major systems of the body, emphasizing anatomy and physiology.
