1 MASTERY CORE OBJECTIVES HIGH SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCE Overview: Life Science is a one-year course for students who learn best with extra time to approach the subject. The academic focus is to develop student reading, writing, processing and organizational skills. The scientific focus is to improve science vocabulary, scientific observation, inquiry, experimentation and analysis skills. Safety skills will be stressed each semester. The first semester introduces the cell, cell structures and functions, genetics and human heredity. The second semester includes evolution, a survey of the diversity of organisms, and ecology. Special attention will be given to local organisms, and traditional and contemporary relationships between humans and the environment.
