Knowledge and understanding

Year 11 objectives

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of the structure and function of organisms

Year 11 course outcomes A student:
BIO11-8 describes single cells as the basis for all life by analysing and explaining cells’ ultrastructure and biochemical processes
BIO11-9 explains the structure and function of multicellular organisms and describes how the coordinated activities of cells, tissues and organs contribute to macroscopic processes in organisms

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of the Earth’s biodiversity and the effect of evolution

Year 11 course outcomes A student:
BIO11-10 describes biological diversity by explaining the relationships between a range of organisms in terms of specialisation for selected habitats and evolution of species
BIO11-11 analyses ecosystem dynamics and the interrelationships of organisms within the ecosystem

Year 12 objectives

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of heredity and genetic technologies

Year 12 course outcomes A student:
BIO12-12 explains the structures of DNA and analyses the mechanisms of inheritance and how processes of reproduction ensure continuity of species
BIO12-13 explains natural genetic change and the use of genetic technologies to induce genetic change

Students:

develop knowledge and understanding of the effects of disease and disorders

Year 12 course outcomes A student:
BIO12-14 analyses infectious disease in terms of cause, transmission, management and the organism’s response, including the human immune system
BIO12-15 explains non-infectious disease and disorders and a range of technologies and methods used to assist, control, prevent and treat non-infectious disease
