Description: Step into the fascinating and exciting world of living things! Each week students will have the privilege of doing a hands-on lab such as microscopy, pig dissection, bacteriology, pathology, testing heart rate, testing lung capacity, and much more. Few Biology courses in the Chattanooga area offer such extensive hands-on labs every week! That’s over 30 college preparatory labs happening in one year! On top of that, we take an overnight field trip to see the ARK Encounter, which really brings to life our creation study at the end of the first semester. Research, presentations, projects, debates, discussions, and fun labs make this class a Hilger favorite. Homeschool parents consistently tell us that it is hard to be successful in setting up labs at home. Let us do the prep work for you! Homework will be given each week, while tests are given every 4 weeks and a comprehensive final exam at the end of each semester.
Requested competency code:
- Lab Science
In order to be reviewed as a laboratory science, we will need a list of physical laboratory experiments completed for this course and number of hours students spend doing laboratory assignments each week.
