Biology Level 2

Qualification: 

NCEA Level 2 Achievement Standards – This subject provides you with the opportunity to gain credits towards the National Certificate of Educational Achievement.

Entry Requirement: 

Level 1 Biology

Course Description: 

Life is incredibly varied, yet based on common processes. Biologists – and students studying biology – seek evidence to explain the nature of living things, and to understand where and how life is evolving, how evolution links life processes and ecology, and the impact that humans have on all forms of life. Through learning in biology, students discover that life involves interactions at all levels of organisation: cells interact with their environment and with each other, so do organs, organisms and ecosystems. No living thing exists in isolation from its environment.

Chemists are continually changing matter into new and more useful forms. Chemists and students who study chemistry use their understanding of atoms, molecules, and ions – particles that are too tiny to be seen with our eyes – to explain and predict the properties and behaviour of different materials.
