Year 12 Biology ATAR
Course Description
The Year 12 syllabus is divided into two units, each of one semester duration, which are typically delivered as a pair.
Unit 3 – “Continuity of the species”
In this unit, students investigate mechanisms of heredity and the ways in which inheritance patterns can be explained, modelled and predicted; they connect these patterns to population dynamics and apply the theory of evolution by natural selection in order to examine changes in populations.
Unit 4 – “Surviving in a changing landscape”.
In this unit, students investigate system change and continuity in response to changing external conditions and pathogens; they investigate homeostasis and the transmission and impact of infectious disease; and they consider the factors that encourage or reduce the spread of infectious disease at the population level.
