Nelson Biology VCE Units 3 & 4: Student Activity Manual : Student Activity Manual

The Nelson Biology VCE Units 3 & 4 Student Activity Manual has been developed to meet the aims and key skills of Units 3 & 4 in the Biology Study Design (2006 - 2012). It provides students with assessment tasks to assist in the development of understanding of the key knowledge and satisfactory completion of the assessment for each area of study. This Activity Manual provides at least six practical activities for each area of study, each activity covering different key knowledge dot points. These activities are investigative; they allow the students to discover, learn and understand information through experimentation. The questions have been designed to assist the students to draw their understandings together into coherent ideas. Some activities are designed to allow students to plan, design and conduct their own first hand activities. ICT skills have also been incorporated into activities where appropriate and applicable. Each practical activity is also linked to the student book through a margin icon.
