Back to School Night IB Biochemistry HL Welcome to General BioChemistry with Brian Cox Email: [email protected] Phone: 720-561-3129 B.A. Wesleyan University (Biochemistry) M.S. University of Oregon (Bioorganic Chemistry) 27th year of high school teaching; 17th year at Fairview Back to School Night Sheet Available on Fairview website Thank you for supporting our program by paying course lab fee Biochemistry -1 semester course – required portion of IB Biology Curriculum (also helps with Advanced Placement Biology 1) Macromolecules (Emphasis on Protein Folding and structure) 2) Introduction to Metabolism (Enzymes, Thermodynamic and Kinetic Control of Metabolic pathways) Cellular Respiration Molecular Biology: Replication, Transcription, Translation, Regulation of Gene Expression Biotechnology This course provides 18 lab hours towards requirement of 60 lab hours required by IB for Higher Level Exam. Highlight labs include: isolation of pGlo protein, enzyme kinetics, bacterial transformation, PCR/ gel electrophoresis Course goals include not just IB/AP exam preparation but also development of higher level critical thinking skills. Science courses in most competitive universities emphasize problem solving and application of concepts to new situations Successfully solving this type of application problem is different than recall or multiple choice requires practice to build confidence Additional Course Goal: Practice application and critical thinking extensions in relatively low risk situations
