Introduction

Science and scientific literacy play a key role in educating citizens of the present, for the future. Critical to succeeding are the core competencies that provide students with the ability to think critically, solve problems, and make ethical decisions; to communicate their questions, express opinions, and challenge ideas in a scientifically literate way; and to exercise an awareness of their role as ecologically literate citizens, engaged and competent in meeting the responsibilities of caring for living things and the planet.

Curriculum

Biology is one of the subjects you can take in science 11, an introductory course intended to explore basic biological principles and study the varying complexities of living organisms. Which include chemistry, earth, environment, life, physics, and citizens. Biology is the scientific study of: life, evolution, and organism. Students will study a range of organisms at the molecular and cellular levels to understand the unique adaptations and abilities of evolution. In addition, there will be an emphasis on using the scientific process and critical thinking skills for the lab and class work.

Application

Biology plays a central role across many scientific and practical fields. Its applications range from medicine to forensic. In medicine, biological knowledge enables disease diagnosis and supports the development of treatments. A recent example of its global impact is the COVID-19 pandemic: a crisis that caused millions of deaths worldwide and was ultimately controlled through the rapid development and deployment of vaccines made possible by advances in biological science.

Conclusion

To summarize, biology as scientific literacy serves a key factor in educating citizens. It provides students with knowledge needed to understand life, evolution and organisms. To accomplish this goal, the core competencies encourage students to develop critical thinking skills, apply scientific reasoning, and express ideas effectively through engaging in class activity and lab work.
