L2 Biology

The course explores Biology at the microscopic level (genetic and cellular) by examining the function of a cell and role that genes play in controlling our characteristics. Students will also explore Biology at the macroscopic level by looking at adaptations present in organisms and how it enables survival. An investigation is included to provide a link between theory and practical science

The course aims to provide a solid foundation of knowledge and skills on which to base further studies in Biology.

Course covers:

·        (Ext 91156) Life processes at the cellular level

·        (Ext 91159) Gene expression

·        (Int 91153) Practical investigation that develops your understanding of the relationship between the investigation and scientific theory

·        (Int 91155) Adaptations of plants or animals to their way of life

·        (Int 91158) Patterns in ecological community – (subject to change)
