This resource covers the things you need to know and be able to do for the Living World topic of Year 10 Science.
You might remember from your Year 9 science class that by ‘living world’ we mean all living organisms and how they interact with each other and the environment – the world around them.
What you'll learn
In this Year 10 Living World resource you'll work through four sections:
1. Inheritance and evolution
You were introduced to some of the basic concepts in relation to evolution and natural selection in Year 9. In this Year 10 resource we'll be looking at the inheritance of genetic information through reproduction and how this contributes to adaptation and natural selection.
2. Life processes in animals
In this section, we'll look at the structural features and functions involved in the seven life processes you learned about in Year 9: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition.
3. Ecology, communities and ecosystems
In the Year 9 resource, you learned about some of the things that affect where organisms live and what helps living organisms survive in ecosystems. Now in Year 10, we'll build on these ideas to explore feeding relationships and nutrient cycles.
4. Human impacts
In this section, we'll look at biodiversity the variety and variability of life on Earth as well as what we (as humans) are doing about carbon.
This resource will build on the concepts, knowledge and skills you learned last year in Year 9, rounding out your understanding of the living world. It will also prepare you for looking at these kinds of topics in greater depth in Years 11 to 13, when these living world studies are called Biology.
You might recall from last year that the word 'biology' comes from two Greek words: 'bios' meaning 'life' and 'logos' meaning 'study'. So biology is the study of life and living organisms.
