Biological sciences big ideas

This can be broken into three core concepts:

• The form and features of living things are related to the functions that their body systems perform.
• Biological systems are interdependent and interact with each other and their environment.
• A diverse range of living things have evolved on Earth over hundreds of millions of years; this process is ongoing.

More information on alternative conceptions held by students can be found on the Biological science conceptions page in the Pedagogical Toolbox.
