Topic 1.: Introduction to Biology - outlines creating and verification science methods, recalls the role of observation as a prelude to forming a hypothesis - valuates basic features of life - lists the four most common elements found in living things, compare contents of basic elements in animate and inanimate nature - distinguish between monomers and polymers and provides example of each type, describes basic compounds of living system (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids) - produces conditions which are necessary for life on Earth - explain levels of organisation of life on Earth Independent work Homework astronauts
Topic 2.: Origin and History of life - discusses different hypothesis of origin of life on Earth - discusses the endosymbiotic theory for the evolution of eukaryotic cell is regarded as a milestone in the development of complexity in living things - gives a precise definition of the term evolution, explaining how evolution is a feature of population and not of individual - explains Darwin s theory of natural selection, discriminates with Neo-Darwinism - states the conditions for forming fossils, distinguishes between relative dating and absolute dating methods for dating age of fossils - explains the system used to describe the age of rock strata (era, period, epoch) and geological time scale - identifies a major physical features that define humans as primates - distinguishes trends and main features of the biological evolution of early hominids and explains origin of modern human (genus Homo), home work work with article of evolution Work in pairs 1 st practical work - visit museum Anthropos
Topic 3.: Cell Structure and Function - discusses the cell theory with respect to the organisation of living things - describes the cell as the basic unit of living things, describes the main features of a cell (plasma membrane, cytoplasm, organelles) - contrasts different between prokaryote and eukaryote cell and provide example of each type - explains why viruses are regarded as non-cellular - identifies cell structures and organelles (nucleus, nuclear envelope, nucleolus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, plasma membrane, cell wall, Golgi apparatus, lysozomes, vacuoles, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, centrioles, cilia, flagella) - differentiates specific features of plant, animal and fungal cells (presence or absence of particular structures and organelles) - interprets electron micrograph pictures Independent work 2 nd practical work (Basics of Microscopy), 3 rd practical work (Differences between Plant and Animal Cell)
Topic 4.: Life of Cell - discriminates relations between cell organelles - distinguishes basic processes in cell: metabolism (autotrophy, heterotrophy and so on), reproduction (mitosis, meiosis), growth, development, ageing and death (apoptosis, necrosis) - summarizes how the zygotes undergoes division and differentiation to produce an adult, describes how cellular differentiation occurs through the control of gene expression in the multicellular organisms - uses media information for explaining importance of stem cells, describes the properties of stem cells and embryonic stem cells and identify the advantages of using them in transplant technologies -- with reference of specific examples explains, how cells are organized into tissues of plants and animals Independent work - 4 th practical work (Difussion, Osmosis), homework text Mitosis, Meiosis Gradeing:
Topic 5.: Rules of Classification - explains the importance of classification in recognizing, appreciating, and conserving biodiversity on Earth - describes the principles and importance of scientific classification, explain what a classification key is and what it is used for - recognizes taxonomy as the study of the theory and practice of classification - labels eight major taxonomic categories: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species - understands concept of species in terms of their reproductive isolation and potential of breeding - explain, how binomial nomenclature is used to classify organisms Independent work - homework
Topic 6.: Viruses and Bacteria - selects negative influence of viruses and bacteria on human health - proposes methods of protection against viral and bacterial infection, compares methods of treatment viral and bacterial diseases - uses media information for explaining positive (environmental, economic and clinical) importance of viruses and bacteria (model organisms) - lists some examples of viruses and bacteria Independent work short presentations about diseases evaluation of presentations
Topic 7.: Algae, spore-bearing plants - recalls the pivotal role of plants as producers in ecosystems and in a global carbon budget - outlines the importance of plants to humans, providing examples to illustrate it - outlines plant diversity as illustrated by the structural differences between algae, bryophytes, ferns (ferns, club mosses, horsetails), gymnosperms (conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants) - describes external structures of plant (at algae, spore bearing plants and seed plants) - describes occurrence and distribution of plant tissues (ground, vascular and meristematic tissues) - understands how plants can adapt to different environment Independent work 5 th practical work (Mosses macroscopy and microscopy observations) Gradeing:
Topic 8.: Seed plants, structures and functions - qualifies term seed plant, compares alternation of generations at spore-bearing and seed plants - explains the purpose of a seed, explains the functions of parts of seed dicot and monocot plants (testa, micropyle, embryo shoot - plumula, embryo root - radicle, cotyledons) - explains the purpose of the fruit and importance fruits for seed dispersal - describes tissues of angiosperm - ground, vascular and meristematic tissues - describes external structures of dicot and monocot plant (five differences: root, stem, leaves, flower and seed) - names and identify important examples of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants - explains main functions of plants (passive and active uptake of mineral and water, water transport, photosynthesis and other types of plant nutrition, growth, development and reproduction) Independent work - 6 th practical work Plant tissues or Pinophyta or Seedling of Dicot and Monocot or Differences between Dicot and Monocot Plants presentations of theme Important of plants (work at pairs) autoevaluation and evaluation of presentations
Topic 9.: Fungi Gymnázium, Brno, Slovanské nám. 7, SHEME OF WORK - Biology - compares anatomy of fungi and other eukaryotic organisms - concludes the importance of fungi in ecosystem and to humans, providing examples to illustrate it important of fungi - lists and identify some example of main group of fungi (Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota) and their importance - explains mutualisms of lichens and importance of it for environment Independent work homework Observation of spores of Basidiomycota
