What's involved in biology?

From the subject selection booklet:

A Local Ecosystem: a fieldwork based study of a local terrestrial or aquatic ecosystem.
Patterns in Nature: how plants and animals make and use foods for living and growth.
Life on Earth: the origins of life on earth and how biologists collect evidence of its evolution.
Evolution of Australian Biota: evolution of our flora and fauna since the isolation of the continent from Gondwana.

Now THAT is boring.

Agreed

yehh, they should include some human biology

They don't have any human bio in year 11, but all of the HSC course (which is all that matters) is based on humans:

Maintaining a Balance: nervous, endocrine and hormone systems control body functions.
Blueprint for Life: inheritance, genetics and the modern technologies that have developed.
The search for Better Health: the causes and effects of diseases and measures we use for their control.

Similarly, the options (Communication, Biotechnology, Genetics: The Code Broken, The Human Story, Biochemistry.) are all based on humans.

but...the yr 11 part just detracts from its appeal

A lot of it seems like stuff that we've already done.

It's not Thai. It's Sharon.

biology is boring in yr 11, interesting in yr 12

so i also agree its not worth it

I might actually do it

Yeah, it IS stuff we've already done, lol. They'll probably just go into more detail.
