Biology CR-A

Biology (A) Credit Recovery engages students in the study of living systems through questions that connect directly to their own lives and experiences. Rather than focusing on memorization, students explore biological phenomena such as inheritance, cellular function, and disease by examining why patterns occur and how systems interact within organisms and across populations. Students learn biology by doing the work of scientists�analyzing authentic data, interpreting research models, and using interactive simulations to make complex processes visible. Instruction emphasizes student-driven investigation, guiding learners from observation and questioning to testing ideas and developing evidence-based explanations. Through this approach, students gain a lasting understanding of how living systems function and what happens when those systems break down. This course is designed for students who are recovering credit in this subject area. Instruction is individualized, competency-based, and focused on mastery of the Wyoming Content Standards. Students progress at a flexible pace while completing targeted instruction and assessments aligned with the original course. Credit is awarded upon successful demonstration of proficiency.
