This workshop is designed for teachers new to teaching HSC Biology plus those who would like to refamiliarise themselves with the content, background theory and make connections across the different modules of the HSC Biology syllabus. We will be unpacking:

Hereditary
Genetic Change
Infectious Disease
Non-infectious Disease and Disorders
Opportunities for Depth Studies

In addition, we will connect with the 'assumed knowledge' from the Year 11 syllabus.
