Level 2 Biology

Biology is the study of living organisms and the natural world. The Level 2 Biology course builds on the knowledge & skills that were developed during Level 1 Science. 

You will carry out a practical biological investigation looking at the movement of substances into cells. This will be supported through learning about life processes at a cellular level, which is an external assessment. Learning includes plant & animal cells, adaptations, enzymes, photosynthesis & genetics. You will also explore and make sense of how animals and plants are adapted to survive in a variety of different environments. This will be assessed through two different internal standards. One assessment is about Emperor Penguins in Antarctica and the other is investigating the survival of three different mammals in their natural habitats. There is also the option to learn about Aotearoa's native species and how they have become threatened by predators. There may also be the possibility of learning more about genetics and also how to carry out biological drawings using microscopes.
