Completion of a full year of Biology.
Students in 10th grade must be concurrently enrolled in a full year science course
Human Biology, Health and Sport is an introductory course in human body systems. Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to study anatomy and physiology from the perspectives of health, environment, fitness and performance in sport.
Students will:
- Expand upon the basic biological and chemical principles covered in previous science courses and apply them to human anatomy and physiology
- Develop an understanding of the relationships between various body systems, human health and performance in sport from the perspectives of homeostasis, structure/function and hierarchy.
- Develop an understanding of general health problems as well as the physiological requirements for good health and athletic performance.
- Relate injury rehabilitation, common health issues and prevention to human body systems.
Assessment in this course will include the following: Investigative labs, media and modeling projects, reflections and tests.
“For someone interested in sports, or the human body as a whole, Human Biology, Health & Sport is an engaging, interesting bite-sized intro to anatomy and sports science. You can expect numerous labs, and mainly hands-on learning, with some fun projects to support your learning.”
