course description
Why study NCEA L3 Biology?
Biology helps us to understand the connection between us and the world that we live in. It provides the students with the opportunities to learn about all living things and how they interact with each other and the environment. By developing research and investigation skills, the students identify Biology as the heart of the many of many social and economic issues in New Zealand as well as the processes that other organisms carry out in order to survive. By studying L3 Biology, students learn to make more informed decisions about biological issues such as use of 1080 to eradicate possums, genetically modified plants and animals, as well as human evolution and rise of new species.
