To build and maintain all students’ natural curiosity about themselves and the world around them by empowering students to ask questions, gain knowledge and understanding of different phenomena in our universe.
| Biology | Cells are fundamental units of living organisms which include adapted structures to support larger functions in the organism. |
| Living organisms may form populations of single species, communities of many species and ecosystems, interacting with each other and/or with the environment. |
|
| Life on Earth is dependent on photosynthesis in which green plants and algae trap light from the Sun to fix carbon dioxide and combine it with hydrogen. | |
| Organic compounds are used as fuels in cellular respiration to allow the other chemical reactions necessary for life. | |
| The chemicals in an ecosystem are continually cycling through the natural world. | |
| The characteristics of a living organism are influenced by its genome and its interaction with the environment. |
