Biology of Plants & Animals

Discover how plants detect sunsets and gravity, build a live cell laser microscope, extract DNA in your kitchen, learn how bacteria generate energy, and measure the size of a molecule using dish soap! We’re going to cover zoology, biochemistry, botany, astrobiology, and more! You'll learn how to be a real field biologist as you uncover the big concepts in biology and how they tie into both physics and chemistry.

You’ll learn about the strongest, fastest, and strangest creatures on the planet, how trees control insects, how living things can thrive in forever darkness, how scientists are using chemistry to grow color-changing flowers, and lots more. During class, you’ll learn how to make a compound microscope and do real hands-on experiments in both physics and chemistry to explain what's going on in the field of biology.
