Core Biology Curriculum 

An introduction to proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids

Learn about the parts of a cell from the nucleus to the mitochondria and everything in betwee.

Not every cell is built the same! What are the different cell types, and how can we differentiate them?

How do we produce energy? Dive into the inner workings of plant and animal cells to understand how energy to walk, talk, and digest is produced.

Some people have black hair, some people have blue eyes, and some people have a widow’s peak. These are all results of differences in our genes. Learn about base pairs, genetic code, replication, and protein production.

Learn about cell division– which is key to growth and health– and how cell division can sometimes go wrong, resulting in diseases like cancer.

This application-based lesson takes what you’ve learned in previous lessons and shows how it can be used in cloning, cancer therapies, and other research techniques.

All life on Earth had the same beginnings, so how do we now have 9,000 species of birds and over 30,000 species of fish? Learn about natural selection and Darwinian Theory.

To help students engage with and understand the material, we’ve designed two games to be use alongside the curriculum: BioDash Ultimate Simulation and Interschool Bio-Jeopardy Competition.
