ONE-CREDIT MIDDLE SCHOOL COURSE
MS Biology and Physical Science focuses mainly on plants and animals. The course begins with an introduction to cells. The course then continues with the hierarchy of organization, covering tissues, organs, and organ systems. Once students have learned what makes up organisms, they will look at the interactions between them. The course will also cover the growth of plants and animals and what factors affect their growth. Students will then track the life cycles of plants and animals and find out how they reproduce. Topics also include energy and its transformation, matter, natural cycles, the effect of the Sun on ocean and air currents, different types of pollution, and the effects of greenhouse gases on the Earth’s climate.
