    • They represent a growing percentage of learners in NSW and may have varying prior learning experiences and literacy levels.
    • In the classroom, EAL/D students learn biology concepts while acquiring English, necessitating informed teaching addressing their language needs.

    Working Scientifically

    • The Biology Stage 6 syllabus emphasizes dynamic inquiry processes that foster scientific thinking and understanding.
    • Students engage in various practical investigations, challenging their methodologies and hypotheses along the way.
    • Outcomes focus on questioning, predicting, and hypothesis testing as core scientific skills.
    • Each inquiry investigation starts from observation, inconsistencies, data analysis, or secondary research.

    Organisation of Living Things (Module 2)

    • Students examine interdependent transport systems in multicellular organisms to understand nutrient, gas, and waste exchange.
    • Investigative activities compare transport components across various organisms using both physical and digital models.
    • Emphasis is placed on analyzing structural components of circulatory systems in animals and vascular systems in plants.

    Biological Diversity (Module 3)

    • Biodiversity is critical for maintaining ecosystem balance and is influenced by selective pressures over time.
    • Topics include the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection and human impacts on biodiversity.
    • Monitoring biodiversity and abiotic factors is crucial for designing strategies to counteract adverse changes.
    • Investigative focus includes evaluating adaptations that enhance survival in specific environments.
