Overland High SchoolZoology

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course gives an introduction to zoology, with particular emphasis on the structure/function and classification of both vertebrates and invertebrates. In addition, the students will explore basic knowledge in animal behavior, evolution, and human ecology (including an introduction to the biosphere and biodiversity). The course is intended to be very “hands-on” including dissections, and experimental animal behavior projects, as well as allowing students the opportunity to conduct print and web-based research. Students will also use 21st Century Skills to create multimedia showcases of their understanding.
