Biology SBI3U

Biology SBI3U (Grade 11)

Why do you have an appendix? Why are the bananas we eat today not as good as the bananas our grandparents ate? Why do you sometimes get the flu even though you had a vaccine? Grade 11 Biology will answer all these questions and more. Students will learn about genetics and inheritance patterns, evolution, the diversity of life, animal and plant anatomy and physiology. They will use simulations, as well as real-life labs to develop their inquiry skills. They will be challenged with a major question: whether or not we are winning the human race. The course will include Socratic lessons, cooperative and group work, role-playing, guided inquiry and independent projects, as well as laboratory and hands-on activities.

In order to take this course, it is recommended that you have earned a mark of at least 80% in SNC2D.

Prerequisite: SNC2D
