Unit 5 – Biological Applications 1.Classification - Understand the diversity of living organisms and how they are classified 2.Environment - Be able to investigate how living things interact with each other and their environments 3.Inheritance - Understand that genes are responsible for inheritance, and variations within species, leading to evolutionary change 4.Diet - Understand the factors that may affect human health and the ways human health is controlled.
