Biology

This term’s Biology curriculum introduces students to key principles of heredity, beginning with genetics and the structure and role of chromosomes as the basis of inheritance. Students also examine variation within populations, gaining insight into how traits differ among individuals and contribute to biological diversity.

The curriculum continues with a study of adaptation, focusing on how organisms adjust to their environment to survive. This is followed by an in-depth look at the social structure of termites and their castes, which demonstrates complex behavioral adaptation. The term concludes with an exploration of evolution and the history of life, helping learners understand how species change over time and the evidence supporting these changes.
