Grade 10 - Florida Science
Florida: Biology 1 (Credit: 1.00)Biology 1 is intended to expose students to the designs and patterns of living organisms and their interactions with the environment. In preceding years, students should have developed a foundational understanding of life sciences. Expanding on that, this Biology course will incorporate more abstract knowledge. The student’s understanding should encompass both the micro and macro aspects of life, and this biology course includes both. The major concepts covered are taxonomy, the chemical basis of life, cellular structure and function, genetics, microbiology, plant structure and function, animal structure and function, and ecology and the environment.
Students at this level should show development in their understanding of scientific inquiry. The units contain experiments and projects that seek to develop a deeper conceptual meaning for students and that actively engage them. The continued exposure of science concepts and scientific inquiry will serve to improve the students’ skills and understanding.
Florida: Integrated Science 2 (Credit: 1.00)Integrated Science 2 is a science course designed for high school students as a follow-up science course from Integrated Science 1. Covering basic concepts found in Physics, Astronomy, Earth Science, Chemistry, Biology, Health, and Scientific Measurement. Topics included in this study are:
Inquiry and Measurement
Astronomy
Weather
Bonds
Organic Chemistry
DNA and RNA
The Human Body
Health
Throughout the course, students will have opportunities to observe simulations, investigate ideas, and solve problems–both on screen and away from the computer.
