Literacy Advantage
Biology
Course materials required. See 'Course Materials' below.
Biology Literacy Advantage focuses on the mastery of basic biological concepts and models while building scientific inquiry skills andexploring the connections between living things and their environment.
The course begins with an introduction to the nature of science and biology, including the major themes of structure and function,matter and energy flow, systems, and the interconnectedness of life. Students then apply those themes to the structure and functionof the cell, cellular metabolism, and biogeochemical cycles. Building on this foundation, students explore the connections andinteractions between living things by studying genetics, ecosystems and natural selection, and evolution. The course ends with anapplied look at human biology.
Scientific inquiry skills are embedded in the direct instruction, wherein students learn to ask scientific questions, form and testhypotheses, and use logic and evidence to draw conclusions about the concepts. Lab activities reinforce critical thinking, writing, andcommunication skills and help students develop a deeper understanding of the nature of science.
Extensive scaffolding aids below-proficient readers in understanding academic science content and in making the leap to higher-order thinking. The controlled release of scientific vocabulary helps struggling readers find success with complex material. Thisstrategic support, including explicit comprehension and vocabulary strategies, helps students master material while simultaneouslydeveloping their literacy skills. Note-taking guides support engagement with direct instruction and use concept maps, illustrations,and graphic organizers to aid students in developing crucial study skills.
The content is based on the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and is aligned with state standards.
