SBI3U Biology, Grade 11 (University)
University-prep biology: classification, evolution, genetics and the physiology of animals and plants. The volume of terminology is the real challenge — we teach it as systems and stories, not flashcard lists.
Inside the course
Diversity of living things and classification
Evolution: evidence and mechanisms
Genetic processes: inheritance and biotechnology questions
Animals: structure and function of body systems
Plants: anatomy, growth and their role in ecosystems
