Biology Investigations at Bermuda College
Welcome to our Principles of Biology Laboratory website! As students in Bermuda College's Biology 1122 course, we have designed this site to show the results of our lab work throughout the semester (Spring 2014). The course covers evolutionary theory and speciation, the origin of life and biodiversity. We will explore viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and animals, as well as different systems of the human body.
UNIT ONE: EVOLUTION
In this section, we study the theory of evolution, which was first proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859.
Sex, Drugs & Sea Slime • Speciation at Spittal Pond
UNIT TWO: MINUTE LIFE
Microbes, microbes, microbes!
Gram Staining Experiment: Are Microbes Everywhere? • Aseptic Technique

UNIT THREE: KINGDOM ANIMALIA
Exploring the huge diversity of the animal kingdom through observation of key traits, exploration using transect work at Spittal Pond, and hands-on dissection in the laboratory.
Invertebrates & Vertebrates @ the Aquarium • Vertebrate Anatomy (Dissections)

UNIT FOUR: ECOLOGY
How do the abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) features of an ecosystem contribute to the biodiversity therein?
