https://svhs.co/store/online-high-school-science-courses/biology-part-1-id-324/

This course is designed to be the first semester of Biology and includes a laboratory component. The course topics include the study of life, including key chemistry concepts and basic definitions necessary to understand the topic. It also covers,  the basic cell structure, including photosynthesis and cell respiration, molecular genetics, heredity, biodiversity, bacteria, protists, and viruses. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

In this module, students gain a comprehension of the following:

• What the study of life entails, including the definition of Biology as well as the key aspects of the Chemistry principles involved in Biology.
• The basics of cell structure, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the mechanism behind mitosis.
• The growing field of molecular genetics, including heredity, replication, transcription & translation, as well as genetic modification.
• The key principles of evolution, including Darwin’s theory, speciation, the fossil record, and classification.
• Bacteria, viruses, and protists, as well as how they interact with human populations.

Biology Part 2: One Semester Credit

https://svhs.co/store/online-high-school-Science-courses/Biology-Part-2--id-329/

This course is designed to be the second semester of Biology and includes a laboratory component. Students will be introduced to the living world by studying structure, function, and processes at both the macro-level and the micro-level. Looking at the diversity of life as a result of evolution and how those living organisms interact within ecosystems.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

In this module, students gain a comprehension of the following:

• The biodiversity of fungi, including their distinguishing characteristics and adaptations they have to various environments.
• Interactions between humans and fungi through common fungal diseases.
• Non-vascular and vascular plants including their distinguishing characteristics, methods of reproduction, and anatomy and physiology.
• The distinguishing characteristics of the different groups of invertebrates.
• Adaptations of each group of organisms as well as their role in the natural world.
• Relationships between invertebrates and other groups of organisms.
• The distinguishing characteristics of vertebrate organisms.
• The basic anatomy and physiology of chordates as well as their ecological role.
• The anatomy and physiology of a frog compared to the earthworm.
• Types of animal behavior and their costs and benefits.
• Each of the major systems within the human body, including the major organs and their functions.
• Disorders and diseases for each system and how these systems maintain homeostasis.
• The complex interactions within ecosystems. The biosphere level and population interactions.
