Biology Module 4 - ecosystem dynamics - enables mandatory fieldwork, including the comprehensive modelling of the working scientifically process though the inclusion of pre and post fieldwork lessons.
During the intertidal rocky shore investigation students are given the opportunity to observe patterns across the ecosystem. Students can then suggest reasons for these patterns and formulate hypotheses for testing in the field. Fieldwork data is later organised and presented through the use of tables and charts for analysis and ultimately reporting.
This field work could support a depth study.
