Course Overview

When you become a biology teacher, you will help students understand through the ideas of biology how the complex and diverse phenomena of the natural world can be described in terms of key ideas.

Helping students understand the world around them is extremely gratifying. You will educate curious young minds on animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms and help them to interpret information about the natural world to identify patterns and relate possible cause and effect.

Teaching biology will help students to make improvements in their own lives and hopefully strive to create a sustainable world for generations to come.
