About

In this series, we will go over all the units in Khan Academy's High School Biology Course (NOT AP/IB). I will go over content in each session, and we will do Khan Academy practice problems in each session. I intend on making sessions interactive. I hope to be able to help you learn about biology! :)🧪🔬

❗🕕 Sessions are planned to be on Wednesdays at 6:30pm EST. There is no set end date yet. Sessions will be added as time goes on.

🐢Sessions are pretty slow-paced. The sessions are slow paced because I want to make sure each learner knows the content well. 💡


The units we will go over include:
1. Ecology and natural systems
2. From cells to organisms
3. The cell cycle and differentiation
4. Energy and matter in biological systems
5. Gene expression and regulation
6. Inheritance and variation of traits
7. Mechanisms of evolution
8. Common ancestry and phylogeny

There is unit 9 as well but I won't be going over that in my series.

Hi! I am a student who lives the United States. My favorite subjects are science and math and I hope to be able to help others by sharing knowledge. Some of my other interests are music, traveling, and reading. :)

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Missing three consecutive sessions in a row will result in withdrawal.

If you register and don't attend, it may not be fair to those who want to join and commit to the series. However, I understand if you can't attend a session due to an event, getting sick, etc.

Also, please keep an eye out on the group chat for any updates.
