Students Learning English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D)
- EAL/D students require additional support to develop English language proficiency and come from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
- 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.
