Course Name: Advanced Biology -The Human Body for Grades 10-12 Grade Range: Grades 10-12 Instructor: Meaghan Friend Email: meaghan.friend@gmail.com Price: $400 for 28 weeks Course Description: This is a college prep level Anatomy and Physiology Class that is intended for students who have completed Biology. This course is highly recommended for anyone planning to enter the medical field, those pursuing further education in biology, or for students who are interested in learning more about the inner workings of the human body. Anatomy and physiology studies the structure and function of the parts of the body, as well as how those parts work together. There will be an in depth study of each body system including histology, integumentary, skeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive. In class time will be spent completing most, if not all, experiments from the curriculum (all lab supplies will be provided by the instructor) and discussing concepts from the text. Students will have the opportunity to examine blood, dissect a cow heart, cow eye, and fetal pig, and do a number of other interesting experiments. Course Prerequisites: Biology Curriculum used by Instructor: Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Advanced Biology: The Human Body, 2nd Edition Books & Supplies required for purchase by families:
*Colored pencils required Homework Requirements: Students will complete a minimum of 3-4 hours out of class work per week. This is a college prep course that is on level with some college level Anatomy & Physiology courses. Students will complete assigned text readings at home, along with on your own questions, notes, study guides, diagrams from the Student Notebook, and lab reports. This course carries a heavy workload. A detailed syllabus will be provided prior to the first week of class. Duration: 28 weeks Grading: Midterm and final grades will be provided based on labwork, tests, and class participation. Course Credit: 1 full science credit Teacher Bio: Meaghan is a Registered Nurse who has an Associate’s Degree in Nursing from Central Texas College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Columbus State University. She worked as an Emergency and Trauma Nurse from 2009-2016 in Texas, Kentucky, and Georgia, while her husband served on active duty for the Army.

Course Name: Biology for Grades 9-12 Grade Range: Grades 9-12 Instructor: Meaghan Friend Email: meaghan.friend@gmail.com Price: $400 for 28 weeks Course Description: This class is heavily lab oriented, with lecture and discussion of text concepts, as time allows. Tests will be administered at home. Students will submit written lab reports weekly. Expectations for each module will be clearly outlined in the syllabus, which will be sent to parents/students prior to the first week of class. (From Apologia online textbook description) This college-prep biology course is designed to be the student's first high school science course, and provides students with a thorough understanding of the relevance of scientific inquiry. Textbook readings are backed by hands-on experiments that take students' book knowledge and bring it into real-world applications. After completing this course, students will be able to understand the vocabulary of biology and gain a strong understanding of the scientific method that will equip them to analyze data across other disciplines. Modules cover atoms, chemical structures, ecosystems, biomes, ecological communities, cell structure and function, cellular energy, DNA, proteins, cell cycles, genetics, prokaryotes, viruses, protists, fungi, and the fascinating worlds of plants and animals.
