Approx Cost:
$10 workbook.
Technology Requirements:
A laptop is essential for this course
Entry Recommendations:

Students should have enjoyed Year 10 Science and have strong interest in biology. Students intending to take Year 12 Biology will need to include an additional science course in their learning program.

Course Outline:

Students will explore biological ideas that will allow them to:

  • Develop an understanding of human body systems, with a focus on the circulatory and immune system including a heart dissection.
  • Explore the biology of disease, looking at bacteria and fungi and how they invade the human body
  • Introduce the concept of Rongoā and how native plants can be used for therapeutic purposes.

 

Where Does It Lead:

This course would fit well alongside any other year 11 science. This could lead to completing study in senior Biology at Lincoln High School. Relevant careers could include Biology, Health Science, Research and Development, Nutrition, Physiotherapy. Students who are looking at careers in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields are recommended to consider taking more than two semesters of science such as 11BIO, 11CHE, 11PHY, 11GSC, 11AHS, 11SBC, 11AMS or 11FSC.
