This 12-week course covers a broad range of topics in biology:

• The chemistry of life: atoms to macromolecules
• Cells and organelles
• Cell division and what happens when cell division "goes bad"
• Genetics and genetic diseases
• Molecular biology, DNA, SNPs, and stem cell research
• Overpopulation and human reproduction
• Ecology; learn what your own ecological footprint is
• Global warming

You'll also learn about California plant communities and what's happening in biology today. You will be encouraged to work together in lab, form study groups and challenge each other.  I hope you'll discover that biology is both interesting and fun!
