Module One
Welcome to the first module of your Year 9 Science course! If you haven't studied Year 8 Science with Wolsey Hall please take time to go through Module Zero.
Module One is a Biology module (green pages in the coursebook) which explores diseases, evolution and extinction. We start on the second chapter as some of the topics in the first chapter are quite tricky and we want you to feel comfortable with the course before you tackle it. There have been some major new advances in biology in recent years. You will be learning about vaccines and how they help our immune system fight diseases. You will also be learning about Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and how we can use his ideas in conservation and biodiversity.
You should work through each topic, reading your coursebook, completing the activities and watching any videos. If you feel that you need more support or are ready for an extra challenge, we direct you to optional resources. Remember that you can check your answers to the Activate exercises and there are mark schemes for all the worksheets in the 'Check your answers' section on each topic page.
Before you complete Assignment One, there are seven topics to complete.
