Lesson 1Scientific reading and interpretation fi biology: reading research summaries, extracting key points, evaluating sourcesDis section build skills fi reading an evaluating biology texts. Students practice interpreting research summaries, figures, an tables, identifying hypotheses, methods, an conclusions, an judging reliability an bias in scientific sources. Yuh learn fi pull out main ideas from studies, check if data make sense, spot flaws in reports, an decide if sources trustworthy fi yuh work.
Structure of scientific articles and reportsIdentifying hypotheses and research questionsUnderstanding methods, data, and controlsInterpreting graphs, tables, and diagramsAssessing reliability, bias, and limitationsSummarizing key findings in clear languageLesson 2Cell structure and function: organelles, cell membrane transport, prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cellsDis section explain cell theory an compare prokaryotic an eukaryotic cells. Students study organelle structure an function, membrane composition, an passive an active transport processes dat maintain cellular homeostasis an communication. Yuh see how tiny parts inside cells do dem jobs, how things move in an out, an why some cells simple while others complex like in animals an plants.
Cell theory and types of cellsProkaryotic versus eukaryotic organizationStructure and roles of major organellesPlasma membrane structure and fluid mosaic modelDiffusion, osmosis, and facilitated transportActive transport, pumps, and bulk transportLesson 3Evolution and ecology basics: natural selection, speciation, ecosystems, food webs, conservation conceptsDis section introduce evolution an ecology principles. Students examine natural selection, adaptation, an speciation, then study ecosystems, trophic levels, food webs, biogeochemical cycles, an basic conservation an biodiversity concepts. Yuh learn how living things change over time, why species split, how nature systems connect, energy flow in food chains, an ways fi protect wildlife from harm.
Evidence for evolution and adaptationNatural selection and fitnessSpeciation and reproductive isolationEcosystem components and energy flowFood chains, food webs, and pyramidsBiodiversity loss and conservation strategiesLesson 4Biomolecules and biochemical processes: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, enzymes, metabolism basicsDis section explore major biomolecules an basic metabolism. Students study structures an functions of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, an nucleic acids, enzyme properties, an an overview of catabolic an anabolic pathways in living cells. Yuh discover how sugars, fats, body builders, genetic codes work, what enzymes speed up reactions, an how cells break down an build energy sources.
Carbohydrate types and biological rolesLipids, membranes, and energy storageProtein structure levels and functionsNucleic acids and information storageEnzyme structure, specificity, and cofactorsFactors affecting enzyme activity and rateLesson 5Human physiology fundamentals: circulatory, respiratory, nervous, digestive, excretory systems and homeostasisDis section introduce major human organ systems an homeostasis. Students examine circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, an nervous systems, learning key structures, functions, an how feedback mechanisms maintain internal balance. Yuh get fi know how blood flow, breathing work, food digest, waste remove, brain control everything, an body stay steady despite changes.
Levels of organization and homeostasisHeart structure and blood circulationGas exchange and respiratory regulationDigestive organs and nutrient absorptionKidneys, nephrons, and urine formationNervous control and feedback mechanismsLesson 6Genetics and inheritance: DNA structure, replication, transcription, translation, Mendelian inheritanceDis section cover molecular genetics an inheritance. Students learn DNA structure, replication, transcription, translation, an Mendelian laws, applying Punnett squares an pedigree analysis to predict inheritance patterns an genetic outcomes. Yuh understand how genetic code copy, read, turn into proteins, an how traits pass from parents to pickney using simple crosses an family trees.
DNA structure and base pairing rulesDNA replication enzymes and stepsTranscription, RNA types, and processingTranslation, codons, and protein synthesisMendel’s laws and monohybrid crossesDihybrid crosses and pedigree interpretationLesson 7Practical lab skills and diagramming: microscope use, staining, preparing slides, drawing labeled diagrams, measuring and recording dataDis section develop essential biology lab competence. Students learn lab safety, microscope handling, slide preparation, staining, diagram drawing, an accurate measurement an data recording to support reliable experimental work. Yuh practice safe handling, look at tiny things clear, color samples fi see better, sketch what yuh see proper, an note results fi trust.
