    Syllabus
    Knowledge and Understanding:
    Outcomes:
    LW2 Cells are the basic units of living things and have specialized structures and functions.

    LW3 Multicellular organisms contain systems that carry out specialised functions that enable them to
    survive and reproduce

    LW5 Science and technology contribute to finding solutions to conserving and managing sustainable
    ecosystems

    First Hand Investigations:

    SC4 - 7WS processes and analyses data from first-hand investigations and secondary sources to identify
