Course structure
The curriculum is organized into three units across 12 weeks. Students move from biology foundations, ecology, evolution, and biological diversity into cells, energy, cell division, genetics, gene expression, microbes, body systems, reproduction, behavior, and biology in life.
Classroom use
- Use the full sequence as a quarter or semester supplement
- Assign weekly assessments after grouped episode lessons
- Use unit assessments for cumulative checkpoints
- Use the final assessment as an end-of-sequence test
- Use selected pieces for sub plans, remediation, independent work, or enrichment
Useful for longer teacher absences
Because the bundle follows a consistent weekly structure, it can also help teachers plan for a maternity leave, pregnancy leave, medical leave, sabbatical, family emergency, or other extended absence. It gives a long-term substitute or covering teacher a clear sequence instead of disconnected one-day activities.
