11 Human Biology
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms R. Heeney
This course is designed mainly for those students who benefit from having additional learning support provided in smaller classes. This course does not lead onto Level 2 Biology.
In Human Biology we learn about issues in the community - for example the rate of diabetes, vaccinations and COVID-19. We also learn how to carry out an investigation. We also have time to chat about issues that the cohort want to talk about, for example brain disease.
Assessment Information
For this year long course we look at four topics. One is formally assessed and provides opportunity for NCEA Level 1 credits. Other assessments are investigations, posters and any other creative way students can display learning.Credit Information
Total Credits Available: 3 credits.
Internally Assessed Credits: 3 credits.
