Regulation and Behavior is a graduate-level professional development course designed to enhance your understanding and teaching of life science. You will explore how organisms get what they need in order to survive and thrive. You will investigate regulation and behavior using hands-on activities and online resources including video segments, interactive activities, readings, and other multimedia materials. These resources are drawn from Teachers' Domain, WGBH's digital library service.

Overview

Regulation and Behavior
This course helps you understand and teach about how organisms get what they need in order to survive and thrive.

Session 1: Regulation
Learners explore how various types of organisms provide the conditions their cells require to survive and function properly. Teaching and learning strategies focus on the use of prediction as a learning tool and on ways to integrate a range of resources into classroom activities.

Session 2: Behavior
Learners look closely at behavior and find that an animal's ability to respond to other organisms and to changing environmental conditions and internal states can be just as important to its survival as any physical trait. Teaching and learning strategies focus on environments for learning.

All sessions and their content correspond to the National Science Education Standards.
