BSCS Biology: Understanding for Life is our newest high school program that directly addresses societal challenges we can no longer ignore, while allowing students to investigate compelling and relevant phenomena. Designed to prepare students for life in our complex, interconnected world, the program introduces BSCS’s new Anchored Inquiry Learning Instructional model which supports teachers in meeting the Framework and NGSS. The program also integrates supports for English language learners and students with below-grade-level literacy skills.
