  1. Unit 3 & 4 Biology An Introduction.

  2. VCE Biology Unit 1 Unity and Diversity • Cells in Action • Functioning Organisms Unit 2 Organisms and their Environment • Adaptations of Organisms • Dynamic Ecosystems Unit 3 Signatures of Life • Molecules of Life • Detecting and Responding Unit 4 Continuity and Change • Heredity • Changes over Time

  3. Assessment Unit 3. Signatures of Life • School Tasks (17%) • Outcome One: Molecules of Life • Prac - Biochemical Processes (Enzymes) • Prac - Movement Across membranes (Eggs) • Outcome Two: Detecting and Responding • Prac - Animal Responses to stimuli (You & Exercise) • Report – Immune Responses • Examination 33%

  4. Assessment Unit 4. Continuity and Change • School Tasks (17%) • Outcome One: Heredity • Prac – Genetic Crosses • Prac – DNA Manipulation (CSIRO) • Outcome Two: Changes Over Time • Report – Evolutionary Relationships • Written Response – Application of genetic technologies • Examination 33%

  5. Keys to Success in Biology • Keep up with the all set work • Read the text – often. • Make chapter summaries as you go. • Revise regularly – 3-5 times a week. • Learn the terminology. Keep a glossary. • Ask help whenever you need it – immediately. • Read articles related to Biology. Watch TV programs about Biology eg Catalyst. Look on the internet for good websites. The wider your knowledge, the greater your understanding.

  6. Unit 3. Signatures of LifeA Closer Look Outcome One. Molecules of Life • The chemical nature of a cell • The role of organelles and membranes in packaging and transport of biomolecules • The nature of biochemical processes • Applications of molecular biology in medicine

  7. Unit 3. Signatures of LifeA Closer Look Outcome Two. Detecting and Responding • Coordination and regulation • Detecting self and non-self • Physical and chemical barriers to infection • Immune response • Disorders of the immune system • Acquired immunity, natural and vaccines
