Year 10 biology students have been monitoring chicks over the last two weeks. The girls are looking at the adaptation of living organisms and have been observing the chicks, weighing and measuring them to see what changes have taken place since they hatched.
Last week, the Year 11 Biology class spent two days conducting fieldwork in the Perth Hills. The camp provided students with a variety of hands-on activities allowing the students to study the jarrah forest ecosystem.
The Year 12 Biology students visited the Zoo on Monday afternoon, to further explore concepts being studied including; homeostasis, evolution and conservation through captive breeding.
Year 10 Biology students have been studying the process of natural selection. Today they modelled the process of natural selection and the effect of camouflage on predation.
As a component of the Year 11 Biology course, students have been on camp this week, staying at the Perth Hills Discovery Centre in Beelu National Park. The girls took part in field work activities and saw conservation programs in action.
On Friday 4 August, Year 12 Biology students went to the Perth Zoo to look at the evolution of primates and how sexual dimorphism has influenced the way different organisms look, and the particular adaptations they have to survive in their environment. We walked around exploring different areas of the zoo including the African savannah, the Asian rainforest and the Australian bushwalk.
Our Year 11 students recently spent two days conducting fieldwork, helping gather data for the Department of Parks and Wildlife.
