This course is a second year of the AICE Level Biology curriculum that incorporates lab experience as an integral component of its study. The curriculum involves a detailed examination of major biological themes, along with one of four optional units: mammalian physiology; microbiology and biotechnology; growth, development, and reproduction; and applications of genetics in a more comprehensive manner. Students will sit for external exams that contribute to the Advanced International Certificate of Education Diploma and present a possibility for students to receive college credit for an introductory biology course.
Prerequisites
This course may utilize animal dissection techniques as an instructional strategy. Students who conscientiously object to these exercises will participate in division-approved activities that provide comparable learning experiences.
