Description Project Description Write and review multiple choice assessment items with feedback/rationale. All guidelines and documentation are provided. All assessment items are aligned to evidence statements. You are responsible for content accuracy and will work with a learning designer who will support you. You are responsible for implementing two rounds of edits. Course Description The Secondary Biology course offers a comprehensive understanding of biological principles and processes, starting from the fundamental cellular structures and functions to the complexities of ecosystem dynamics. Students will delve into key topics such as genetics, evolution, and ecological interactions, gaining insights into the diversity of life and the interconnectedness of biological systems. The course emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling learners to analyze biological phenomena and apply their knowledge to real-world challenges. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, students will engage in hands-on activities, scenarios, and case studies to deepen their understanding. Additionally, the course highlights the impact of environmental changes on ecosystems, fostering an appreciation for conservation and sustainability. By the end of the course, learners will be well-prepared to address various biological challenges and pursue further studies or careers in the field of biology education. In-depth knowledge of the content areas covered within the course including: How to research and evaluate biology curricular resources Nature and Impact of Science and Engineering Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function Genetics and Evolution Diversity of Live and Organismal Biology Ecology: Organisms and Environments Finding, reading, and understanding state content standards and competencies- call back to previous course on aligning standards, objectives, and assessments Nature and Impact of Science and Engineering. Potential components include lab techniques associated with cell biology, microscopy, models, methodologies, etc. Tasks of Teaching Science to potentially include are Scientific Models and Representations, Student Ideas, etc. Nature and Impact of Science and Engineering.
