Biology 3

I will learn:

• How the chemistry and processes within cells supports their function.
• About the structure and function of biological systems of organisms (including humans).
• The underlying theory of natural selection and how your body defends against disease.
• The scientific method, experimental design and the impact of biology in society.

In typical lessons I might:

• Control variables while investigating photosynthesis and respiration in a laboratory.
• Explore how organisms maintain balance as their external environment changes.
• Research genetic variation, DNA and natural selection.
• Examine the role of scientists in responding to organisms that cause disease.

This course would suit someone who:

• Wants to deepen their understanding of living things and how they work.
• Would like to make informed decisions about science issues in society and the local community.
