This course will allow the student to develop their knowledge, skills, and attitudes in contexts that enable them to link the biology curriculum with their experiences of the world around them. Learning experiences will increase student knowledge of the flora, fauna, and the environment of Aotearoa's biosphere. Students will also gain an understanding of life processes, ecology, gene expression, and evolution.

There will be a field trip to the Rocky Shore as part of this course.
