The General Biology program, which revolves around a unifying theme (i.e. Life : A Matter of Balance), focuses on the basic structures and mechanisms which ensure maintenance in living things. This program is intended to help Secondary IV or V students increase their knowledge of science by studying biological phenomena as well as their effects on society. Given this global objective, the aim of the program is to examine topics using an approach which enables the students to increase their knowledge of science by : developing knowledge of biological facts; discovering the ways in which this knowledge has evolved throughout history (successes, stumbling blocks, mistakes, setbacks, gaps); discovering the relationships that exist among knowledge, technology and society; perfecting their work methods and their ability to reason.
