Unit1Biology

Organisms are made up of cells. All organisms are faced with the challenge of obtaining nutrients and water, a source of energy, a means of disposing their waste products and a means of reproducing themselves. In this unit students will investigate the structure and function of cells and the manner in which all living things meet the challenge of finding the requirements for life.

I've attached a file with the chapter question and worksheet answers for your use. You are meant to have had a go at answering the questions yourself first and then check if you were correct.

Unit 1 Biology Chapter Answers

__Area of Study 1 Cells in Action__ The first area of study focuses on the activities of cells. Students investigate the relationship between specialised structures of cells and the processes that maintain life.

I'd like to try two new things this year and manage them through the wiki so that everyone can use them. The first will be a Blog based on my favourite reflective activity - the 3 - 2 - 1 (thanks to Anne Semple who taught me this) On the Blog students will list the 3 new things they have learnt from each chapter, 2 things that they still aren't sure about (but they are going to work those out and add the answers to the Blog later) and one question they have for me. I'll answer these on the Blog. That way we all get to share these ideas. I hope that this support everyone's learning and that you can use some of the information on the Blog later for revision.

The other is to use student created Prezi's for revising the main concepts each chapter. In pairs (or 3's) you will prepare a Prezi on a concept and then save them to the following wiki. Everyone will be able to see them and use them to reinforce their understanding of the concepts.

I'll put lots of things here as the semester progresses for your use in preparation for the exam.
