Students will develop

knowledge and understanding of:	further skills in:
the history of biology the nature and practice of biology applications and uses of biology the implications of biology for society and the environment current issues, research and developments in biology cell ultrastructure and processes biological diversity environmental interactions mechanisms of inheritance biological evolution.	planning investigations conducting investigations communicating information and understanding developing scientific thinking and problem-solving techniques working individually and in teams.

Students will develop positive values about and attitudes towards: themselves, others, learning as a lifelong process, biology and the environment.

Focus Area

• applications and uses of biology
  • assesses the impact of particular technological advances on understanding in biology
  • assesses the impact of particular advances in biology on the development of technologies
• implications of biology for society and the environment
  • describes applications of biology which affect society or the environment
  • assesses the impacts of applications of biology on society and the environment
• current issues, research and developments in biology
  • describes the scientific principles employed in particular areas of biological research
  • identifies possible future directions of biological research

Domain - Knowledge

Development

• current issues, research and developments in biology
  • describes the scientific principles employed in particular areas of biological research
  • identifies possible future directions of biological research
• mechanisms of inheritance
  • explains how processes of reproduction ensure continuity of species
  • describes the mechanisms of inheritance in molecular terms
• biological evolution
  • identifiesanddescribesthe evidence for evolution
  • describes the mechanisms of evolution and assesses the impact of human activity on evolution

Cell Biology

• cell ultrastructure and processes
  • explains how cell ultrastructure and the coordinated activities of cells, tissues and organs contribute to macroscopic processes in organisms
  • explains why the biochemical processes that occur in cells are related to macroscopic changes in the organism

8.3 Patterns in Nature

Refer to the Science Years 7–10 Syllabus for the following: 5.7.3c) construct word equations from observations and written descriptions of a range of chemical reactions

5.8.1a) explain that systems in multicellular organisms serve the needs of cells

5.8.1b) identify the role of cell division in growth, repair and reproduction in multicellular organisms

5.8.2c) identify that information is transferred as DNA on chromosomes when cells reproduce themselves

5.8.2d) identify that genes are part of DNA.

Domain: knowledge and understanding

1. Organisms are made of cells that have similar structural characteristics

• outline the historical development of the cell theory, in particular, the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown.
• describe evidence to support the cell theory
• discuss the significance of technological advances to developments in the cell theory
• identify cell organelles seen with current light and electron microscopes
• describe the relationship between the structure of cell organelles and their function
• process information from secondary sources to analyse electron micrographs of cells and identify mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, nucleus, nucleolus and cell membranes

5. Maintenance of organisms requires growth and repair

• identify mitosis as a process of nuclear division and explain its role
• identify the sites of mitosis in plants, insects and mammals
• explain the need for cytokinesis in cell division
• identify that nuclei, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain DNA
