Level 2 Biology - Adaptations for Survival
Course Description
Biology is about living things and how they interact with each other and the environment. This course is designed for students who want to develop an understanding of the diversity of life with a focus on how organisms have evolved ways to survive their environments through adaptation. These may be behavioural, structural, and/or physiological adaptations that provide the organism with advantages that increase its chance of survival.
