Biology Basics and Beyond - Book 2

Exploring the evolution, structure, function and role of plants in science and society

Book 2 explores the many fascinating features of plant, introducing broad biological concepts such as evolution, classification and adaptation along with key biological processes such as pollination, fertilisation, photosynthesis, transpiration, diffusion and osmosis. It also reinforces the strong links between science and society through short plays with real-life examples that show why learning the biology basics is useful and how it can lead to a fulfilling career. Along the way, students collect and analyse data, produce scientific drawings and interpret tables and graphs.
