Course Lessons

Lesson 1: Introduction to Biology - In this first lesson we will go over Biology definitions, history, and the importance of this study.
Lesson 2: The Chemistry Involved - In this second lesson we will begin our study of Biology with a brief focus on the Chemistry Involved. This lesson will focus on topics that include matter, atoms, the Bohr Model, the Periodic Table, Macromolecules, Metabolism, etc.
Lesson 3: The Biology of Cells - In lesson three we will focus on cell biology. Topics will include the structure of living organisms, positions on the food chain, the flow of the ecosystem, and the process of the cell cycle.
Lesson 4: Classic Genetics - In this fourth lesson we will focus on the topic surrounding the process of Genetics and the occurrence of irregularities. We will also cover the history of the study of Genetics from the studies of Charles Darwin to the controversies surrounding clonin
Lesson 5: Molecular Genetics - In this fifth lesson we will not only break down the genetic code and understand how genetics occurs; we will also explain the important roles molecular geneticists play covering such topics as: obtaining DNA for Analysis, cell culture, isolating DNA, and
Lesson 6: Principles of Evolution - In this sixth lesson we will turn our attention to all the facts- theories- and controversies surrounding "Evolution". Topics will include what biologist really think, the studies of Darwin, natural selection, and the contemporary beliefs on Evolution.
Lesson 7: The Origin of Evolution and Life: Human Evolution and the Diversity of Life - In this lesson we will follow the evolution of evolutionary thought beginning with the ideas of the medieval time, the theories of Immanuel Kant and the Quintessential Naturalists: Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.
Lesson 8: Plant Diversity and Reproduction - In this eighth lesson we will examine the Plant Kingdom. Topics will include the classification systems and plant reproduction.
Lesson 9: Plant Form and Function - In this ninth lesson we will examine the plant structure and function. Topics will include plant cells and tissue types, plant transport, various plant activities, lifecycles, and biotechnology and plants.
Lesson 10: Animal Diversity - In this tenth lesson we will now focus on the Animal Kingdom. Topics will include classifications, definitions, and animal phylum�ó-é�-,ós .
Lesson 11: Animal Form and Function - In this eleventh lesson we will delve further into the structure and activities of animals including: nutrition, respiration, circulation, excretion, homeostasis, coordination of the chemical | nervous systems, motility and reproducti
Lesson 12: Ecology - In this twelfth lesson we will conclude this course with a focus on the big picture that involves the study of Ecology. Topics in this final lesson will include contemporary ecological issues, world population facts, ecosystems and Biomes, and Conservati
