General Biology II is an immersive course that delves into the fundamental concepts and processes that shape the living world. Students will gain a deep understanding of the mechanisms driving evolution, the diversity of life on Earth, the intricate workings of the animal body, and the dynamic relationships between organisms and their environments. Through interactive virtual simulations, students will critically examine biological phenomena, apply theoretical principles to real-world scenarios, and evaluate the interconnections between biological systems.

Evolution: From genes to species

The course begins by investigating the core principles of evolution, including the formation of new species, population genetics, and adaptive evolution. Students will learn how to determine evolutionary relationships revealing the interconnectedness of life on our planet. 

Exploring the Diversity of Life

Uncover the fascinating world of prokaryotes and examine their unique structures and the vital roles they play in ecosystems. In contrast, by diving into animal anatomy and physiology, from digestion and the nervous system to hormones and the immune system, students will gain a deep understanding of how animals function and adapt to their environments.

Dynamic Ecosystems

The final section of the course focuses on ecology, exploring the complex interactions between organisms and their environments. Students will study biogeography, terrestrial and aquatic biomes, and the impacts of global climate change. They will investigate and appraise conservation strategies through scenario-based simulations, identifying the impacts of human intervention on natural habitats and formulating solutions to preserve ecological balance. By examining population dynamics, ecosystems, and food chains, students will gain valuable insights into the delicate balance that sustains life on Earth.
