What is Biodiversity?

Biodiversity is:
  • The variety of all living things, including plants, animals, microorganisms
  • Their relationships with one another.

  • The ecosystems they form with the non-living resources around them.


This Biodiversity and Lab Concepts course will explore:
  • How scientists conduct themselves in the lab and in the field
  • Basic chemistry concepts
  • Energy flow in and between living things while matter cycles throughout the system
  • How human impact can affect biodiversity.


The goal is:
  • Your learning will be interactive, meaningful and fun.
  • To prepare you for a successful experience in General Biology.
