Biology Program (1-year intensive)

2023 Year 11/12 Online Biology Intensive Course (10 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 2 double up weeks)

*Course includes Topic tests, some Assignments, self-marked practice exam and a final Exam.

Commencing February 2023

Semester 1 (10 + 9 + 1 Weeks)*

Cells (microscopes, organelles, scientific method, enzymes, diffusion/ osmosis, and transport across membranes)
Biochemistry (biological molecules, photosynthesis, and energy in cells)
Physiology (digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and excretory systems)
Practical Investigations (microscopes and cells, enzyme rates of reaction, diffusion and osmosis, physiology)

Semester 2 (10 2 + 7 Weeks)*

Cell Division (mitosis, control of mitosis and meiosis)
DNA and RNA (DNA replication, transcription, translation, mutations)
Classical Genetics (Mendelian genetics, test crosses, plus co-dominance)
Advanced Genetics (X-linked diseases, multiallelic traits, pedigrees, non-disjunction)
Natural Selection (micro-evolution, speciation)
Evolution (Creation versus Evolution/ macro-evolution)
Ecology (biotic and abiotic factors, tolerance limits, communities, cycles, food webs, species interactions, succession, human impacts succession)

Biotechnology (cloning, genetic manipulation, cell culture)
Reproductive Technology (IVF, PGD, Stem Cells)
Deconstruct and separate SHE (Science as a Human Endeavour) task. Students can pick from various topics such as IVF, genetic engineering, organic farming, pollution, medical genetics, and diseases etc.

Classes for our programs are only $60 per week, which equates to $2400 per year (40 week program).
