Per Class
Semester 2: Explore genetics, natural selection, classification, and ecosystems to understand life on Earth.
Semester 2 of 2 – Life Science (MS) introduces students to the subject of biology and the structures and functions of living things. The course begins with instruction on the scientific method and how it is applied in the development of technology. The cell is the basic building block of life, so students will examine unicellular organisms and how the cell structures carry out life’s functions, including photosynthesis and respiration. The cells combine into tissues, organs, and systems. Students will discover the systems of the human body and the conditions that affect them. The course then moves into a discussion of the basics of genetics and how traits are passed from one generation to the next. Students examine how species change and adapt to the environment in natural selection. Students then discover how living things are classified. Finally, students explore how organisms interact with each other and their surroundings in an ecosystem.

The process is simple:
All courses are asynchronous, meaning students may work independently with all-inclusive, self-contained courses. Our curriculum includes multiple learning tools to engage every kind of learner, including videos, visuals, and plenty of practice – especially in math courses! Our goal is to provide learning opportunities that meet the needs of students in any situation, meaning flexibility is core to what we do.
If your student would like to meet live with their teacher, they can always request a Personalized Live Session (PLI). PLIs give the student a chance to ask specific questions in a one-on-one format. We also have office hours for each subject daily, where a student may jump into a Zoom room with one of our full-time teachers.
Yes! Coordinating with your district is helpful for us; however, it is not required. We recommend that you reach out to your district prior to enrollment.
