Modules 3 and 4 guides – Biology

In Modules 3 and 4, students build on their understanding that cells and body systems are specialised to perform specific functions to keep an organism alive.

The Stage 6 module guides for Year 11 and 12 biology are high-quality curriculum resources that highlight best practices for science teaching. They were developed in collaboration with experienced science teachers.

The module guides:

  • contain contemporary ideas about teaching and learning science in high school
  • emphasise scientific inquiry
  • are structured around the Big Ideas of Science
  • equip classroom teachers with pedagogical content knowledge for the biology course.

You may adapt the following support material to meet the individual needs of your school.
