3BIO - Level 3 Biology
Course Description
Biology seeks to understand the living world around us. In this course we explore and investigate how plants and animals work. Specifically, we look at the incredible journey of human evolution, we experiment on animal responses, understand how humans survive in extreme conditions (and why they don't), examine the complex relationships between species, and look at the evolutionary processes that led to living things being as they are right now.
Level 3 Biology is recommended for a number of further studies including physical education, food and nutrition, health sciences, environmental sciences and psychology.
