BIOLOGY, GRADE 11, UNIVERSITY PREPARATION                                       SBI3U

Prerequisite: Grade 10 Science, Academic

This course furthers students’ understanding of the processes involved in biological systems. Students will study cellular functions, genetic continuity, internal systems and regulation, the diversity of living things, and the anatomy, growth, and functions of plants. The course focuses on the theoretical aspects of the topics under study but is grounded in the opportunity to experience first-hand, the bio-diversity in Bermuda. Students will refine skills related to scientific investigation.

BIOLOGY, GRADE 12, UNIVERSITY PREPARATION                                    SBI4U

Prerequisite: Grade 11 Biology

This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes associated with biological systems. Students will study and conduct investigations in the area of metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis, evolution, and population dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on achievement of the detailed knowledge and refined skills needed for further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields. The unique natural and classroom settings at the Bermuda Biological Research Station will provide a special stimulus for exciting learning.

THE ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

GRADE 12, UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE PREPARATION                                      CGR4M 

Prerequisite: Any university, university/college, or college prep

course in Social Sciences and Humanities, Canadian and  World Studies or English

This course provides an unequaled opportunity for students to investigate the complexity and fragility of ecosystems and the effects of human activities on them. Students will study the principles of sustainability and resource management and evaluate various approaches to achieving a more sustainable relationship between the environment, society, and the economy.

In the first unit students will gain an understanding of energy flows, the structure of ecosystems and the processes that form them. In the second unit they will focus on rural and urban land use practices, as well as environmental degradation and global consumption. In unit three students will identify and explore issues related to the management of the environment and resources at various local and international levels. The fourth unit focuses on planning for a sustainable future, and the last unit includes a compilation of an environmental database and a related culminating activity.

The opportunity for students to conduct their study in an area of the world new to them, one that offers rich examples of treasured ecosystems, will enhance their study, engage them with a new dimension of international experience, and offer them an invaluable context for better understanding issues in their own communities.
