LOGAN-ROGERSVILLE R-VIII SCIENCE CURRICULUM

High School - CHEMICAL BIOLOGY

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Chemical Biology is an applied biology course intended for those students who desire a hands-on basic look at basic processes and applications of biology and chemistry. It is not intended for college-bound students. The course is divided into specific units that cover basic biological concepts, nutrition, disease/wellness, and ecology.

COURSE RATIONALE

The purpose of Chemical Biology is to provide a review of biological and chemical concepts in a hands-on approach. This course provides a look at careers students can choose that do not require a 4-year college degree and are more stable than factory or labor positions. It meets the needs of the non-college-bound student needing an introduction into real-world applications of biology and chemistry.
