MALEK FAHD ISLAMIC SCHOOL

Course Name: Preliminary Biology 2017

Course Description Biology is the study of living organisms, life processes and interactions between organisms and their environment. This course is a study of the relationships of organisms with each other and with their physical environment. At a microscopic level, there are patterns in the structure and function of cells. Recent advances in molecular biology and biochemistry have allowed scientists to better describe the origins, processes and evolution of life. The available evidence suggests that, continental drift caused changes in environmental conditions which impacted on Australian ecosystems and are reflected in the fossil record. Main Topics Covered

Module 1 - A Local Ecosystem (20 indicative hours) Module 2 - Patterns in Nature (40 indicative hours) Module 3 - Life on Earth (30 indicative hours) Module 4 - Evolution of Australian Biota (30 indicative hours)
