The High School will combine sessions 5 & 6 into one Biology quest. By doing this, the Eagles will be able to alternate every other week between theory and experiments. The Eagles will do this so that the theoretical Biology, learned in the first week, is backed up by an experiment or two in the following week. The Eagles will be using the Modern States Biology Review Course and other resources to learn the basics of Biology (Cells, Plants, Reproductive Systems, Heredity, Evolution & Taxonomy).
The Eagles will also be doing experiments using pipettes, microscopes, and dissection tools. At the end of Session 6, the High School Eagles have the option to take a CLEP (College Level Examination Program) test. The Eagles will also present their experiments, and writers workshops at the end of session six.
Writers Workshop on Statistical Analytics
For this session's Writers Workshop, the Eagles will be developing the skill of statistical analytics! Though statistics consist of a significant amount of numerical data, these are nothing more than numbers without context behind them, and the context behind statistical data can often tell a story!
The Eagles will be given a set of raw data from an Austin-based organization. Then they will learn different skills and techniques to give meaning to said data, and finally, write detailed reports on their analytical findings that would help benefit the future of the organization!
