CORD
Biology puts science in context for all students by linking science
concepts to real-life experiences - both in and out of the classroom.
This contextual approach helps students build problem-solving skills
and knowledge in biology, while preparing them to work independently
and cooperatively. CORD Biology helps students recognize
the relevance of biology to their lives and in future career choices.
