By the end of the Biology unit you should be able to:
- List 7 characteristics of living things.
- Understand the three points of cell theory.
- Demonstrate Microscope knowledge including proper handling, parts, resolving power, calculating magnification
- Relate the main features and properties of cells to their functions
- Difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
- Difference between animal and plant cells
- Identify the process of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
- Describe the relationship of micro-organisms with other living things
- Know the basic functions of the immune system, including the roles of first and second lines of defence
- Know the advantages and disadvantages of vaccinations and antibiotics
- Understand socio-economic impacts of epidemics and pandemics on human populations
