Science · Grade 9–Grade 12
Course Description This single-semester lab science course focuses on the relationship between structure and function and the interrelatedness of the systems of the body. Students expand on what they learned in biology as they explore the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, immune and lymphatic, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. They gain a deeper understanding of the material through hands-on labs designed for home use and have multiple opportunities to design their own labs. Students will form and test hypotheses, record data, graph the results, and write a conclusion based on their analysis of their findings. There are six required labs in this course and seven additional labs that are optional. Students will choose at least two of the optional labs to complete, for a total of eight labs required in this course. The labs and a complete materials list are found in the lab manual. Course Materials In addition to the coursebook, the following materials are used in this course: Hole's Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, 16th Ed., by Charles Welsh and Cynthia Prentice-Craver (McGraw Hill 2022)…
United States · a small set of reliable resources
Anatomy & Physiology Coursebook was a helpful part of our learning in a small learning space. It helped with slowing down to make an observation. It worked best when we kept sessions short and consistent.
United States · a mix of independent and shared work
We found a useful place for Anatomy & Physiology Coursebook as part of our home learning routine. It helped with writing down questions to explore later. It gave us a useful starting point, and we adapted the pace.
