Living Systems: Structure and Function
Enrich your Science programs by discovering ways to teach the study of Biology with emphasis on the systems of the body. You will be required to complete and evaluate a planned series of experiments/experiences with your students. This curriculum aligns with the California State and National Standards. Use experiments/experiences with children in the classroom, home or neighborhood. Living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function. Important levels of organization for structure and function include cells, organs, tissues, organ systems, whole organisms, and ecosystems.
This course is applicable towards the Life Science Teaching Certificate.

Education is a crucial part of helping others develop lifelong, critical thinking and learning skills. Students, no matter their age, are best served by becoming self-directed learners with their natural curiosities engaged. In my roles as an instructor, I have placed myself in the role as an encouraging lynchpin for positive learning and exploration. I have found the most success using the simple method of engaging those I am teaching with material they are eager to learn, showing them how it can be directly applicable and useful. Following the philosophy of actively demonstrating, then having the student demonstrate understanding. It is deeply satisfying, and I have been applying these principles for the last 18 years.
