-
- Pupils should develop their knowledge and understanding of the
- organisation of living things and of the processes which characterise
- their survival and reproduction.
-
- Level 1 * be able to name or label the external parts of the human
- body/plants, for example, arm, leg/flower,stem.
-
- Level 2 * know that living things reproduce their own kind.
-
- * know that personal hygiene, food, exercise, rest and safety,
- and the proper and safe use of medicines are important.
-
- * be able to give a simple account of the pattern of their own
- day.
-
- Level 3 * know that the basic life processes: feeding, breathing,
- movement and behavior, are common to human beings and the
- other living things they have studied.
-
- * be able to decribe the main stages in the human life cycle.
-
- Level 4 * be able to name the major organs and organ systems in
- flowering plants and mammals.
-
- * know about the factors which contribute to good health and
- body maintenance, including the defence systems of the body,
- balanced diet, oral hygiene and avoidance of harmful
- substances such as tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.
-
- * understand the process of reprduction in mammals.
-
- * be able to describe the main stages of flowering plant
- reprodution.
-
- Level 5 * know that living things are made up from differant kinds of
- cells which carry out differant jobs.
-
- * understand malnutrition and the relationships between diet,
- exercise, health, fitness and circulatory disorders.
-
- * know that in digestion food is made soluble so that it can
- enter the blood.
-
- * understand the way in which microbes and lifestyle affect
- health.
-
- * be able to describe the funtions of the major organ systems.
-
- Level 6 * know that respiration is a process in which energy is
- transferred to enable other life processes to occur.
-
- * know that water, light energy and carbon dioxide, are needed
- for photosynthesis and that sugars and starch are produced,
- and that oxygen is a by-product.
-
- * understand the factors necessary for the well-being of young
- children in the early stages of their development.
-
- * know about the physical and emotional changes that take
- place during adolescene and understand the need to have a
- responsible attitude to sexual behavior.
-
- * understand the risks of alcohol, solvent and drug abuse and
- how they affect body processes.
-
- * understand the processes of conception in human beings.
-
- Level 7 * know that plants require specific minerals for healthy
- growth and that the products of photosynthesis can be
- converted into a range of substances necessary for the
- plant.
-
- * understand the process of digestion.
-
- * be able to analyse behaviour in terms of the stimulus,
- receptor, coordinator and effector involved,
-
- Level 8 * be able to describe how the funtions of the major organ
- systems contribute to maintaining the internal environment
- in plants, animals and human embryos.
-
- * understand that infective organisms and drugs can disrupt
- the normal functioning of the body and how the body"s
- natural defences may be enchanced by immunisation and the use of
- medicines.
-
- * be able to give a basic explanation and evaluation of the
- impact of life supporting technology, for example,
- incubators, pacemakers and kidney machines, in improving and
- sustaining the quality of life.
-
- Level 9 * understand how environmental factors can be varied to
- enhance photosynthesis.
-
- * be able to make informed judgement about the benefits and
- drawbacks underlying the use of hormones and growth regulators in
- controlling growth, development and fertility in plants and
- animals.
-
- Level 10 * understand how homeostatic and metabolic processes
- contribute to maintaining the internal environment of
- organisms.
