LaMere Academy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I see they have Bio and Marine Bio. My son wants to take Marine Bio first, would this be ok or should he do the regular Bio first? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan M in WA Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The course description indicates that Marine Biology should come after a basic biology course. When I wanted my kids to take Adv. Bio before Chemistry, I emailed Dr. Wile and asked if it would work. He indicated that there were a couple of areas where we might have to teach some chemistry in order to understand the concepts but they could be taught as needed. In the Marine Biology syllabus, there is a lot of ecology which may not need all of the biology. If you ask Dr. Wile, he might be able to tell you the basic concepts you would need to cover to make the course work without a full year of biology.

LaMere Academy Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks Susan, I never thought of doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda in NM Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 but Dr. Wile said that he should take biology first. We're planning to go to one of the Scripps Institute camps this summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll just have to wait. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
