Second : General  Course Description 
          A Collection of  Practical activities that enable students to   understanding biology , memory   and stimulate interest. It is a tour begin in studying microscope then  structure and function in cells, chemical constituents of life, enzymes, movement of material across membranes, cell division, photosynthesis, respiration, plant tissues and finally animal tissues.   

Third : Course  Objectives  

1.	To study the microscope as important item in investigation many fields in biology.

2.	To understand structure and function in cells, then enter the cell to learn about chemical constituents of life, enzymes, movement of material across membranes, cell division.

3.	To learn about vital process as photosynthesis, respiration..

          4.To investigate main plant tissues and finally animal tissues.   
4.	 Fourth: Expected Learning Outcomes 
1.	Familiarity with the microscope parts and using.
2.	Ability to distinguish cell structures and functions.
3.	Understanding the chemical constituent of life and important of enzymes.
4.	Understanding how cells get and get rides of material through semipermeable membranes.
5.	Memorize how cells divide, respire, making photosynthesis 
6.	Familiarity with the basic plant and animal tissues.
