Students explore the fundamental principles of biology, including Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Genetics. They do this by undertaking a series of inquiry-based problems. Each unit begins with a series of relevant, real-world questions. Learners choose one or develop their own on a topic they are particularly passionate about related to the standards for the unit. They are then tasked with planning their execution of the project. Each block they will share their progress with the facilitator and their peers to develop communication and collaboration skills. These check-ins mean to improve the final product. At the end of each unit, learners will submit a presentation of their product and include it in their digital portfolio. Learners will share these presentations with their peers and facilitator to engage in the practice of constructive feedback.
