An exploration of ?little critters? such as bacteria precedes a study of plant structures; processes; and reproduction. Students will inquire into animal behavior and characteristics as they study invertebrates; amphibians; reptiles; birds; and mammals; among others. An inspection of nutrition and disease will lead students to examine human body systems. The course will conclude with an analysis of the interdependence of living things in ecosystems.†
