Strand B: Biology / Diversity of Living Things /Biochemistry

Grade 10

B1. evaluate the importance of medical and other technological developments related to systems biology, and analyse their societal and ethical implications; B2. investigate cell division, cell specialization, organs, and systems in animals and plants, using research and inquiry skills, including various laboratory techniques; B3. demonstrate an understanding of the hierarchical organization of cells, from tissues, to organs, to systems in animals and plants

Plants and animals, including humas are made of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that are organized into systems. Developments in medicine and medical technology can have a social and ethical implication

Grade 9

B1. Relating Science to Our Changing World assess impacts of climate change on ecosystem sustainability and on various communities, and describe ways to mitigate these impacts

Students learn about sustainable ecosystems and sustainability. Specifically, its relationship with biodiversity, air, water quality and health.

Grade 12

B1. analyse technological applications of enzymes in some industrial processes, and evaluate technological advances in the field of cellular biology; B2. investigate the chemical structures, functions, and chemical properties of biological molecules involved in some common cellular processes and biochemical reactions; B3. demonstrate an understanding of the structures and functions of biological molecules, and the biochemical reactions required to maintain normal cellular function

Biochemistry Technological applications that affect biological processes and cellular functions are used in the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries. Biological molecules and their chemical properties affect cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Biochemical compounds play important structural and functional roles in cells of all living organisms

Grade 11

Overall Expectations

B1. analyse the effects of various human activities on the diversity of living things; B2. investigate, through laboratory and/or field activities or through simulations, the principles of scientific classification, using appropriate sampling and classification techniques; B3. demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of living organisms in terms of the principles of taxonomy and phylogeny.

Big Ideas

Diversity of Living Things All living things can be classified according to their anatomical and physiological characteristics. Human activities affect the diversity of living things in ecosystems.
