biol+3+skill+improvement

As part of the VCE Biology course, you not only need to know and understand but you also need to demonstrate competency in a variety of key skills. These include: Now, these skills are not just relevant for the SACs but they are also examinable. So, you need to work on them consistently-a reason for creating this wikispace.
 * Investigating and inquiring scientifically
 * Applying biological understanding
 * Communicating biological information and understandings

Written communcation Here you find advice for improving you writing skills, as well as challenges for you to attempt.

Study tips Here you will find a whole list of ideas for improving your biology and coping with the demands of the course.

Your ability to create questions is important in developing your understanding and a useful way to revise. By collaborating as a class you can easily come up with 140+ diverse questions covering the entire unit. These can then easily be turned into cue cards or if you are "worthy" I will create animated powerpoints for you. Click here for a Unit 1 example. [|biol 1 question grid wiki.pps]. I have divided each area of study into 4 sections. Each section has a total of 36 different questions. I would like each of you to post a minimum of 3 questions for each section by filling in the table box. I have started the process off for each section. area of study 1 question grids area of study 2 question grids
 * Creating questions **

Now that you have created the questions I need you to email me the answers, (I suggest using the wiki mail). Set out your answers as follows:

Section stem = answer Biomolecules What can = the elements C, H and O with H:O ratio being 2:1

Some questions have more than one answer, so try and include several possibilities where appropriate. If the remaining boxes do not get completed that's ok, these will just be blank on the powerpoint unless I decide to complete them for you.
 * It's better for you if you do the work rather than me!**

IMPORTANT! Please let me know if you come across a mistake, so i can fix it. A pretty awesome effort fellow biologists. However, as not all answers were supplied, I have tried to interpet your questions as best I can. In some cases, I am not sure what the question was getting at, so these questions need to be amended (mainly to do with phrasing). You can either download the ppt version (you will then have to click on slide show to use but you will be able to fix mistakes yourself) or the slide show version (pps).
