This twilight workshop has been designed by an experienced HSC marker to help HSC Biology students revise Modules 5 & 6 ahead of their trials. In this workshop, students will:

revise Heredity – HSC Biology Module 5
revise Genetic Change – HSC Biology Module 6
identify overarching themes and interrelationships amongst the content
address Working Scientifically
unpacking difficult content
address common mistakes and misconceptions
learning what the markers are looking for

All students will walk away with a variety of resources.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS

"Excellent insight given into what markers search for, the running through briefly of the module content so people could ask specific questions with some context, and the exam techniques and practice questions were extremely useful"
