This unit will expand upon the principles established in the Diversity of Life Part A unit to include plants, as well as mammals, birds and other vertebrates. It will cover organism form, structure, genetic variation, life cycle, adaptations and ecology.
Aims:
To equip students with the broadest range of intellectual and practical skills and to fit them to confront the diverse biological questions they will meet in their future careers. This includes a clear understanding of the factors that mould living organisms, and knowledge of the diversity of the major groups of organisms.
A combination of synchronous and asynchronous teaching activities including lectures, directed reading, research and/or problem-solving activities; practical exercises and independent study.
The unit mark is comprised of:
