This document outlines the suggested teaching plan for VCE Biology Units 1 over two terms. In term 1, students will learn about cell structure and function, including membrane transport and organelles. They will conduct a practical investigation and have assessments on cell size and structure. Later units will cover systems in multicellular organisms, adaptations for survival, regulation, biodiversity, and ecosystem relationships. Term 2 focuses on functioning organisms and assessments on this topic, with exam revision occurring in the final weeks.
