NANYANG MODEL HIGH SCHOOL
(BC PROGRAM)
BIOLOGY 12
2012/2013
COURSE OUTLINE
Course Objective:
Through regular physical activity and play, students will be improve their self confidence, enhance their ability to learn and be better
equipped to handle the stresses of school life. Students will develop an appreciation for life long active living and a good understanding of the elements of
healthy lifestyle.
Evaluation: Self evaluation, peer evaluation and teacher evaluation will be used assess understanding and implementation of biology knowledge, research and
experimental design.
