In this comprehensive course, students investigate the chemistry of living things: the cell, genetics, evolution, the structure and function of living things, and ecology. The program consists of in-depth online lessons, including extensive animations, collaborative explorations, virtual laboratories, and hands-on laboratory experiments students can conduct at home.

When enrolling in the full year option of this course, it will be delivered in two semesters. Transcripts will reflect each semester separately.
